reviewby Scott Yanow

Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard leads a particularly talented sextet (with trombonist Curtis Fuller, a rare outing away from Sun Ra for tenor saxophonist John Gilmore, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Art Davis, and drummer Louis Hayes) on three of his originals and strong versions of “Summertime” and “Caravan.” This advanced hard bop music was reissued on CD in 1996 with 20-bit mastering.
