The Body & the Soul is an album by trumpeter Freddie Hubbard recorded in 1963 as his second and last release on the Impulse! label.{{cite magazine |title=Jazz |magazine=Billboard |date=17 October 1964 |page=75 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fCAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA75 |access-date=13 December 2019 |publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc. |language=en}} It features performances by Hubbard with an orchestra and string section, and with a septet featuring Curtis Fuller, Eric Dolphy, Wayne Shorter, Cedar Walton, Reggie Workman and Louis Hayes.

Reception

A reviewer for Negro Digest stated: "From the opening track to the last Hubbard establishes and maintains a mood of excellence that literally explodes out to the listener. His solos are pregnant with quality and melody, and his technique is flawless. Unquestionably, this is the best by Freddie Hubbard to date. As for the music itself, it is all mainstream. There is no attempt at far-out-ness. Each tune is easy discernible, being buoyant for the most part with beauty and form".{{cite journal |last1=H. |first1=R. |title=On Record |journal=Negro Digest |date=January 1965 |page=77 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AjoDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA77 |access-date=13 December 2019 |publisher=Johnson Publishing Company |language=en}} Michael G. Nastos of AllMusic added: "The manner in which this recording is programmed is thoughtful in that it lends to the diversity of the project, but is seamless from track to track. Dan Morgenstern's hefty liner notes also explain the concept behind this ambitious project, one which did not compare to any of Hubbard's other recordings in his career. Therefore it stands alone as one of the most unique productions in his substantive discography, and a quite credible initial go-round for Shorter as an orchestrator".
