Youngblood (Jon Faddis album)

Youngblood is an album by trumpeter Jon Faddis recorded in 1976 and released by the Pablo label.

Reception

AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Jon Faddis burst onto the jazz scene at an early age, recording a brilliant duo album with pianist Oscar Peterson and this quartet date before disappearing into the studios for a few years. Twenty-two at the time, Faddis (heavily influenced by Dizzy Gillespie but possessing a superior high-note technique) holds his own".
