Hard Bop till you drop!

conesnail

This is one of my favorite albums. I first heard this when I was about 15 and it probably made me a jazz fan. The playing by Cedar Walton is especially grand, though everybody is on the top of their game. The highlights for me are Nostrand and Fulton, Full Moon and especially Assunta. If you like Miles-like Modal Jazz you'll hear echoes of it here. The interplay between Philly Joe and Cedar on Assunta is something to behold. the lineup is Freddie, Wayne Shorter, Reggie Workman, Cedar Walton and Philly Joe. If you like Freddie, Hard Bop, Wayne Shorter or kick-ass jazz, you can't go wrong with this bad boy.

The sonic touchstones here are '90s emo greats like Jawbreaker, the… more »

They Say All Music Guide

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 Cap, 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.” – Scott Yanow
