Freddie Hubbard – Hub-Tones – Vinyl LP

High Quality, Limited Edition

Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard teams up on record with James Spaulding (who doubles on alto and flute) for the first time on this excellent set, with the assistance of pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Reggie Workman, and drummer Clifford Jarvis. The quintet performs four of the trumpeter’s originals (including Lament for Booker and the title cut) plus an advanced version of the standard ‘You’re My Everything’. John Coltrane’s modal music was starting to influence Hubbard’s conception and his own playing was pushing the modern mainstream ahead without really entering the avant-garde.

1. You’re My Everything
2. Prophet Jennings
3. Hub-Tones
4. Lament For Booker
5. For Spee’s Sake
