Freddie Hubbard's first recording as a leader, Open Sesame features the 22-year-old trumpeter in a quintet with tenor saxophonist Tina Brooks, the up-and-coming pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Clifford Jarvis. This set shows that even at this early stage, Hubbard had the potential to be one of the greats. On the ballad "But Beautiful" he shows maturity; other highlights include "Open Sesame," a driving "All or Nothing at All" and "One Mint Julep." It's an impressive start to what would be a very interesting career.Amazon.com:
Recorded in 1960, Freddie Hubbard's Open Sesame is not only a very good CD: it dramatizes history in the making. The trumpeter was not unknown then, but he was still in his early years; so was pianist McCoy Tyner, for whom a momentous association with John Coltrane was just around the corner. Indeed, the best-known musician at the time of this recording was bassist Sam Jones, and while he went on to bigger things with Cannonball Adderley and then Oscar Peterson, it was Hubbard and Tyner who would emerge as unambiguously major figures. That by rights should also have characterized tenorist Tina Brooks, but this superb player (his work on "But Beautiful" here is exquisite) never got the recognition he deserved, dying almost forgotten in 1974 at the age of 42. Further highlights include the leader's "Hub's Nub" and the two takes apiece of the title track and "Gypsy Blue," both excellent compositions by Brooks. Mention should also be mad! e of drummer Clifford Jarvis, a young lion steeped in Blakey, and Rudy Van Gelder's predictably flawless engineering.

Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard really came into his own during this Blue Note session. He is matched with quite an all-star group (tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Art Davis, and drummer Elvin Jones in addition to Bernard McKinney on euphonium), introduces two of his finest compositions ("Birdlike" and "Crisis"), and is quite lyrical on his ballad feature, "Weaver of Dreams." Hubbard's sidemen all play up to par and this memorable session is highly recommended; it's one of the trumpeter's most rewarding Blue Note albums.Amazon reviewer:
If you're not a fan of Freddie Hubbard, pick up "Ready for Freddie" and it will likely turn you into one. Armed with skilled players such as Wayne Shorter on sax, Bernard McKinney on euphonium, Elvin Jones on drums and McCoy Tyner on piano, Hubbard's 1961 release (recorded when he was barely in his twenties!) flirts with brilliance and drips with class from track to track. The opener, "Arietis," is classic Hubbard in great form, and he's well complimented by Jones' brisk drumming and Davis's bass. Other standouts include "Marie Antoinette," which has Hubbard and Shorter holding their own respectably, while "Crisis" shows great interplay between all members, with Jones and Davis making particularly strong impressions. Like all jazz greats, Hubbard is careful not to hog the spotlight and gives each musician his moment to shine. "Ready For Freddie" has been digitally remastered on Blue Note by Rudy Van Gelder! and features an alternative take of "Arietis" and "Marie Antoinette." It's a near-flawless effort that will find a welcome home in virtually any collection.

Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard teams up on record with James Spaulding (who doubles on alto and flute) for the first time on this excellent set, with the assistance of pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Reggie Workman, and drummer Clifford Jarvis. The quintet performs four of the trumpeter's originals (including "Lament for Booker" and the title cut) plus an advanced version of the standard "You're My Everything." John Coltrane's modal music was starting to influence Hubbard's conception and his own playing was pushing the modern mainstream ahead without really entering the avant-garde.
Cduniverse.com:
Freddie Hubbard's HUB-TONES, a consummate Blue Note date from the early '60s, is the trumpeter's most highly acclaimed disc. Hubbard fronts a standard quintet here, with fine support from James Spaulding, Herbie Hancock, Reggie Workman, and Clifford Jarvis. The trumpeter's style is more clearly defined than on past efforts with a signature approach that Hubbard would continue throughout the remainder of the hard bop era. Indeed, this particular session signaled Hubbard's arrival as one of the giants of the trumpet and a leader of modern jazz.Significantly, HUB-TONES establishes Hubbard as a masterful composer as well as an interpreter of standards. The opening "You're My Everything" is one of the latter, but the remainder of the cuts are Hubbard's. The lightly swinging "Prophet Jennings" features a muted melody accompanied by Spaulding's delicate flute. The classic title track, presented here in two takes, is the disc's highlight; a raucou! s, machine gun-like head that opens up into a burning solo session featuring stunning work by all. The moving "Lament For Booker" follows, showcasing Hubbard's velvety ballad style with tasteful support from Spaulding and Hancock. Finally, the fiery "For Spee's Sake" wraps up this essential session.Personnel:

Freddie Hubbard brought a beautiful tone and an instinct for swing to Hub Cap. This record came out in 1961, three years before Eric Dolphy's Out To Lunch and four years before Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage : two significant titles in the library of America's improvised music which feature a consequential role by Hubbard.
Freddie Hubbard leads a particularly talented sextet on this reissue. Four of the six compositions are Hubbard originals; two numbers were composed by Cedar Walton, and the marvelous "Cry Me Not" was penned by Randy Weston. The title track opens the disc, showing off Hubbard's flexibility and range in hard bop terrain. The pace shifts when the group leads into the modal ballad "Cry Not For Me," where Freddie Hubbard delivers some beautiful triplet lines in his solos. This number bears repeated listening.
This long-awaited CD from Freddie Hubbard's discography deserves your attention and makes a fine addition to your collection.Allmusic.com:
On Hub Cap, his third effort as a leader, Freddie Hubbard sticks to the tried-and-true hard bop formula, which is something of a mixed blessing. There's no question that much of this music is enjoyable, but it's not quite up to the standards of its two predecessors. Part of the problem is Hubbard's sextet, which features tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath, trombonist Julian Priester, pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Larry Ridley, and drummer "Philly" Joe Jones. All of the musicians are talented, but only a few are inventive, and that becomes a problem, since it becomes clear that Hubbard is beginning to break free from his influences and develop his own style. In other words, he's capable of more adventurous music than this straight-ahead hard bop. That said, Hub Cap is a very good hard bop date. There is energy to the performances, and the artist's vigorous, inspired playing continues to impress, as do some of his original compositions. Only when compa! red to Hubbard's first two records, or what would come later, does Hub Cap seem like a lesser effort.Personnel:
Freddie Hubbard (trumpet)
Jimmy Heath (tenor saxophone)
Julian Priester (trombone)

Philly Joe Jones (drums)Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on April 9, 1961.
