Hubbard recorded this album at the MPS studios in Villingen, Germany during a break in his European tour. Here, you can experience a musician and his world - class quintet interacting spontaneously. Fans of the standard 'Without a Song' will love this 13 - minute performance highlighting the band's free - flowing play. Hubbard's interaction with saxophonist Eddie Daniels and drummer Louis Hayes' powerful beats make this piece outstanding. On 'Just One of Those Things', the players unleash amazing hard - bopping lines. Hubbard dedicates 'Blues For Duane' to his son, and bassist Richard Davis gives it a light - hearted feel. Hubbard shows his melodic talent when interpreting 'The Things We Did Last Summer', supported by Roland Hanna's piano. Davis ends the piece with a perfect pensive touch. This is a 180g black vinyl pressing, remastered from original analog tapes. It comes in a full deluxe gatefold sleeve with extensive liner notes and photos. It's a limited edition featuring Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Eddie Daniels (tenor sax), Roland Hanna (piano), Richard Davis (bass), Louis Hayes (drums) and more. Music label: MPS Records 2016.
