Breaking Point! is an album by trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, recorded on May 7, 1964, and released on the Blue Note label. Although it features performances by Hubbard’s recent collaborators Ronnie Mathews and Eddie Khan, it was a departure in style from his work with Mathews and the Jazz Messengers.

Michael G. Nastos of AllMusic commented “The pure energy Hubbard injected into this ensemble, and the sheer originality of this music beyond peers like Miles Davis and Lee Morgan, identified Hubbard as the newest of new voices on his instrument. Breaking Point has stood the test of time as a recording far ahead of mid-’60s post-bop, and is an essential item for all listeners of incendiary progressive jazz”.Chris Slawecki in his review for Encyclopedia of Music in the 20th Century called the album “a crackling mixture of free atonality, beautiful melody and blues feeling.”
