Splash is a studio album by jazz musician Freddie Hubbard released in 1981 on the Fantasy label which features performances by Hubbard with several R&B/soul session musicians.

Reception

The Allmusic biography by Scott Yanow identifies the album as one of Hubbard's "low points" but still features some fine playing albeit not for pure jazz listeners.
