  • Description

    Hubbard recorded this album at the MPS studios in Villingen, Germany during a break in his European tour, thus we get to experience a musician and his world-class quintet spontaneously interacting in an open setting. Those who are familiar with the many dreamy versions of the standard "Without a Song" will be thrilled with this 13- minute escapade spotlighting the band's unbridled play. Hubbard's dialogue with saxophonist Eddie Daniels and drummer Louis Hayes' powerful impulse crown the piece. The energy and enthusiasm increases on "Just One of Those Things", as the players unleash an incredible chain of hard-bopping staccato lines. Hubbard dedicates the playful "Blues For Duane" to his son; bassist Richard Davis grounds the piece in a light-hearted, earthy feel. Hubbard reveals his radiant melodic prowess as he interprets "The Things We Did Last Summer" in broadly swinging arcs, congenially supported by Roland Hanna's piano harmonies. Davis has another shining moment as he brings the piece to an end with just the right pensive touch.

    Freddie Hubbard: trumpet
    Eddie Daniels: tenor saxophone
    Roland Hanna: piano
    Richard Davis: bass
    Louis Hayes: drums
