CD ReviewsFrom mediocre to downright annoying! Stephen Wood | 06/22/2002 (2 out of 5 stars) "There were many classic records released by Blue Note in 1964. This, unfortunately, is not one of them. The ugly cover should have been a tip-off, but I was persuaded to part with my hard-earned paper to get this. The opening track is clever, but is extremely irritating. Hubbard's playing is fine throughout, but the compositions (with the exception of the final beautiful track by Joe Chambers) are abysmal. I concur with the assesment below - a big disappointment. This is a far cry from adventurous Blue Note classics like Wayne Shorter's 'All Seeing Eye (to which Hubbard contributes some fantastic playing), Andrew Hill's sadly underappreciated and out of print 'Compulsion' and Cecil Taylor's essential 'Conquistador!' and 'Unit Structures' (among others). In a word, on sale, it's a buy. Otherwise, avoid." A great recording Stephen Wood | Woodbury, CT USA | 08/09/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Though I will admit that (like a lot of great jazz albums) it takes a couple of playings before you'll get into all of it, this is one of Freddie's greatest albums. Pianist Ronnie Matthews and drummer Joe Chambers are brilliant. Freddie is in top form, especially on the title track and on "D Minor Mint". This is truly a classic Blue Note recording. From the leader's free jazz and calypso influenced opener to the sheer beauty of Chambers' "Mirrors", "Breaking Point" is a stellar CD that I highly reccommend to all jazz fans." Five Musicians - Five Stars Robert Bezimienny | Sydney, NSW Australia | 08/22/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Of the three hundred plus jazz albums I've listened to, this is one of my top ten favourites. Every track is outstanding, and Freddie Hubbard and James Spaulding are an incredibly exciting and complementary front line, with many of their ideas transcending expected jazz forms. Ronnie Matthews, whom I've rarely heard outside this recording, is in tune with the horns, adding drive where required and spreading sheets of sound in softer moments. The rhythm section don't just back up, they help the music take off, especially on 'Far Away' (which might just be my pick of the tracks). If you like Joe Chambers' 'Mirrors', this can also be heard on Bobby Hutcherson's 'Patterns' album (currently out of print). Believe the other rave reviews, this is one fantastic jazz album. And if you agree, then check out 'Let Freedom Ring', by Jackie McLean - another album I wish I'd heard sooner."
