He was known primarily for playing in the bebop, hard bop and post bop styles from the early 1960s and on. His unmistakable and influential tone contributed to new perspectives for modern jazz and bebop In the pantheon of jazz trumpeters, Freddie Hubbard stands as one of the boldest and most inventive artists of the bop, hard-bop and post-bop eras. Although influenced by titans like Miles Davis and Clifford Brown, Hubbard ultimately forged his own unique sound – a careful balance of bravado and subtlety that fueled more than fifty solo recordings and countless collaborations with some of the most prominent jazz artists of his era.

  • 5 GOOD REASONS WHY YOG SHOULD HAVE a S W Ift RESERVE by PARA-FLITE
    5 GOOD REASONS WHY YOG SHOULD HAVE A S w ift RESERVE BY PARA-FLITE Frankly, we at Para-Flite can't understand why every sky-diver in the world doesn't have a Swift Reserve packed in his tandem rig. Especially since the Swift Reserve is just as light (5.4 pounds) and packs just as small as the lightest and smallest ‘minimum’ round reserve. All of that and the Swift Reserve still has 177 ft2 of area for soft, easy landings under even the worst conditions. The Swift Reserve is: 1. Safer. Ram-air canopies have no known inherent malfunction mode. A round reserve can (and often does) invert or has a line- over (mae-west) on deployment Statistics indicate a round reserve experiences inversions or line-overs 3 to 5 times per 100 acti­ vations independent of body position or proper activation. In addition, the Swift Reserve is deployed by our famous ‘free-bag’ 4. More Durable: Since the Swift Reserve can’t experience a line- system. This system gives the Swift Reserve a chance to open even over or inversion, it is very unlikely that it would be even slightly if the pilotchute becomes entangled with the jumper or his gear. No damaged during deployment. round reserve offers this unique system. 5. A Greater Value: The Swift Reserve is the most modem and 2. Faster Opening: With its shorter lines and requiring less air to most popular square reserve on the market. It will keep its value for fill, the Swift Reserve can open in less than 100 feet In fact, squares many years and as square reserves become more popular its resale open so fast they must be reefed to slow them down.

    191 of 328 5.7. SKYDIVING APPLICATION REPORT AUTHOR(S): Tim O'Brien, Environmental Health Officer GENERAL MANAGER: Michael Kriedemann, Acting General Manager Operations DEPARTMENT: Sustainable Communities - Environmental Health RECOMMENDATION That Council resolves to: 1. Approve the use by Skydive Great Barrier Reef Pty Ltd of the nominated foreshore areas located at the southern end of Four Mile Beach, Port Douglas; Wonga Beach; Cow Bay Beach; and Myall Beach, Cape Tribulation for the carrying on of the commercial activity of tandem skydiving; and 2. Restrict the use of the foreshore areas by Skydive Great Barrier Reef Pty Ltd to landing tandem parachutists in approved drop zones. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sky Dive Great Barrier Reef Pty Ltd is seeking approval from Douglas Shire Council for the use of Council controlled areas, being various foreshore areas in the Shire, as drop zones associated with a proposed tandem skydiving operation. Drop zones are the designated landing areas for the parachutists undertaking the activity. In the case of the proposal each drop zone is 20 metres x 20 metres square. The activities assessed under this application have been limited to the drop zone area required at each location. Under the Local Laws, Council Officers do not have the authority to assess the auxiliary operations (flight paths, parachute regulations etc) of this application. All core operations for the proposed activity, including aeroplane takeoff, landings, training and administration, are to be conducted from an approved facility in Cairns. A maximum of six (6) flights is proposed per day with a maximum of four (4) customers per flight.
