Here To Stay / Hub Tones

Two excellent sets are featured here, both drawn from original Blue Note recordings, with the vinyl edition covering Hub Tones only.

Freddie Hubbard's quintet is hard to beat, and you can hear exactly why across these sessions. Alongside Hubbard, the line-up includes Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Philly Joe Jones and Reggie Workman - a cast of players that gives these recordings real lift and lasting depth.

With musicians of this calibre, it is no surprise that these albums are still being received so warmly more than fifty years on.
