High Energy is a studio album recorded in 1974 by jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard.[5] It was first studio album released on the Columbia label and features performances by Hubbard, Joe Sample, George Cables, Junior Cook, Ernie Watts, Pete Christlieb, and Ian Underwood.
AllMusic's Scott Yanow commented One of Freddie Hubbard's few decent efforts during his very commercial period with Columbia, this LP found his quintet (with tenor-saxophonist Junior Cook and keyboardist George Cables) joined by a small orchestra and a string section on a set of potentially dismal material."[2]
Eric Kriss of DownBeat wrote: "Hubbard's use of a large band and heavily orchestrated parts is interesting, especially since the entire LP was recorded "live" without overdubs or effects."[4]
