Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, who became famous playing with musicians such as Herbie Hancock, John Coltrane, and Art Blakey, died on Monday at the age of 70.

The jazz master has been ill since suffering a heart attack in late November.

Born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1938, Hubbard was popular for playing in the bebop, hard bop and post bop American jazz styles.

Hubbard was honored with the National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Award in 2006.
