Trumpeter
Freddie Hubbard met the Pablo All-Stars for this unique and frequently exciting set. Inspired by the presence of pianist
Oscar Peterson, guitarist
Joe Pass, bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and drummer
Martin Drew,
Hubbard stretches out on five numbers which include "All Blues," his own "Thermo" and "Portrait Of Jenny." A combative player,
Hubbard both challenges and is challenged by the remarkable pianist; pity they did not record together more often. This stimulating CD is a reissue of the original LP. ~ Scott Yanow
