Album Notes & Community Reviews

A classic Blue Note session that finds trumpeter Freddie Hubbard leading a brilliant quintet into more abstract, modal territory. The compositions, particularly the title track, move beyond standard hard bop chord changes, using suspended harmonies and open forms to create a challenging and cohesive statement. Featuring superb work from James Spaulding and Herbie Hancock, the album is a prime example of the adventurous evolution of hard bop.
