Torrent description

Freddie Hubbard - Here To Stay
Original Release Date: September 12, 2006
Format: Original recording remastered
Label: Blue Note Records
Bitrate: 320 kbps

AMG:
This two-LP set, which was released in 1979 as part of United Artists' Blue Note reissue series, brought back trumpeter Freddie Hubbard's early album Hub ap, a sextet session with tenor-saxophonist Jimmy Heath, trombonist Julian Priester, and pianist Cedar Walton. Although that session (comprised of four
Hubbard compositions, one of Walton's songs, and Randy Weston's "Cry Me Not" ) is excellent, it is the full album of previously unreleased material from an
all-star quintet that is of greatest interest. Hubbard teams up with fellow Jazz Messengers Wayne Shorter (on tenor), Walton, bassist Reggie Workman, and (in Blakey's spot) drummer Philly Joe Jones for some advanced hard bop. Highpoints include the fiery "Philly Mignon" and a strong version of "Body and Soul."

I've reviewed many of Freddie Hubbard's Blue Note RVG CDs here on Amazon, and in most of them I mentioned how "Here to Stay" was a better candidate for
reissue than a particular title. Well the powers that be at EMI must have been reading my comments because "Here to Stay" is available once again after being
out-of-print for nearly twenty years! While I still believe "Ready for Freddie" is the trumpeter's best BN disc (see my review), "Here to Stay" is not far behind. In fact, this album is the most Jazz Messenger like of his Blue Notes, which is only natural since it was recorded in the middle of Freddie's famous stint with Blakey, and made with three of his JM mates -- Wayne Shorter, Cedar Walton and Reggie Workman. In fairness, Philly Joe Jones does provide his own unique rhythmic support -- he's never out in front like Art is -- but that only accounts for a slight difference in the overall sound. This December 27, 1962 session features two standards, two Hubbard originals, and two wonderful tunes by the under-appreciated trumpeter Cal Massey, last seen contributing two original compositions on Lee Morgan's "Leeway" (see my review). In all, jazz fans will be delighted that this Freddie Hubbard album is finally "Here to Stay." ~ Michael B. Richman
