Rudy Van Gelder's Edition
Editor's info:
Freddie Hubbard arrived in New York in 1960 and set the jazz scene on its ear with a gorgeous tone, perfect technique and great ideas. This was his third album in less than a year and it yielded several masterpieces including the title tune and a powerful reading of Randy Weston's "Cry Me Not".

A Definitive Hardbop Session
Reviewer: Leeman from Port Angeles Washington.
This is Hubbards first sextet album and a very good one. The arrangments are more complex than his last and his usage of the other two horns completes the settings. The title track is a pressure cooker and that is Hubbards specialty. "Cry Me Note" must be the best ballad, after Monks "Ruby my Dear". People like Miles or Rollins usually stuck being the main voice on ballads, here Freddie uses all horns and gets incredible results. "Ready for Freddie" is another great sextet album, much better players and arrangments. "Osie Mae" has a catchy line and a good groove. At first, a lot of it will just seem like minor keyed hardbop but after a while it gets better. Not as good as his previous albums like "Open Sesame", but still a great session. Five big Ovals for the monster trumpeter Freddie Hubbard. Note: anything with Philly Joe on it is good.

GREAT BLUE NOTE ALBUM OF FREDDIE HUBBARD
Reviewer: T.A. from Chiba,Japan
This disc is Freddie's best album of I think, but very underrated album. All tunes are very cool & groovy!! Now listen,all jazz fans.

High Quality Hard Bop
Reviewer: Paulo Barbosa from Funchal, Portugal
Not as daring as his best Blue Notes, but a most welcome reissue. No serious jazz fan should be without at least some of Hubbard's work on Blue Note, such as his masterpieces "Hub-Tones" and "Breaking Point". "Ready For Freddie" and "Open Sesame" make for better hard bop than this one, but it will do no harm in anyone's collection. It is always a pleasure to have more of Hubbard's '60's marvelous trumpet playing .
