Freddie Hubbard

A mesmerizing live performance by Freddie Hubbard and his quintet recorded in Paris at Maison de la Radio (ORTF) on March 25, 1973. Featuring Hubbard with George Cables, Junior Cook, Kent Brinkley, and Michael Carvin, the group interprets four Hubbard classics in deep, spiritual mode.

The tapes of the concert were transferred at INA's studios and remastered for vinyl by Colorsound Studio. 1973 was a special year for Freddie Hubbard. He had been one of jazz's brightest young stars for more than a decade and had also recorded as a sideman for such luminaries as John Coltrane, Art Blakey, and Ornette Coleman.
