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
Blue Note had an all too frequent habit of sitting on sessions for years before releasing them, as was the case with this fine quintet outing from trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, which was originally recorded in 1962 but didn't see the light of day until 1976 when it was paired with Hubbard's Hub Cap session as a double LP, and then didn't see a stand-alone release until the mid-'80s. Teaming with Wayne Shorter on tenor sax, Cedar Walton on piano, Reggie Workman on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums (all but Jones were working together as part of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers at the time), Hubbard oversaw an extremely smooth and fluid session, the kind that comes from musicians being very familiar with each other, and while Jones wasn't a part of the Jazz Messengers (although he did work with Blakey down the road as a part of Blakey's various drum suite projects), this was his third album session with Hubbard. Jones' value is immediately apparent on the opening track, "Philly Mignon," which is tailor-made for Jones' powerful and lyrical percussion style. A pair of Cal Massey compositions, "Father and Son" and "Assunta," are clear highlights here, as is the on-again, off-again waltz time of Hubbard's own "Nostrand and Fulton" (named after an intersection in Brooklyn), but the whole sequence has a wonderfully coherent feel, mixing the fresh and the familiar into a kind of loose, energetic suite. Hubbard's brassy, up-front trumpet style shines throughout Here to Stay, making this set somewhat of a lost (or at least delayed) gem. ~ Steve Leggett

Here To Stay songs
$10.65 This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Japanese pianist and composer Hiromi Uehara dazzled the jazz world with her 2003 debut, Another Mind. Its mash of keyboard pyrotechnics and range of compositional styles was multiplied exponentially by her irrepressible energy. On that set she used variously sized ensembles to articulate her compositions. On Brain, Hiromi strips it back to a trio and offers a more intimate look at her wide musical universe, utilizing drummer Martin Valihora, bassist Tony Grey (both fellow Berklee College of Music alums), and alternately bassist Anthony Jackson. The album opens with the wacky "Kung-Fu World Champion" with its mélange of sequenced keyboards. It's a fusion tune to be sure, but it's so kooky and funky that it transcends the label despite its reliance on staggering time signatures and stop-on-air turnarounds and changes. It's a careening tour de force where electronic keyboards and pianos are layered over a scattershot rhythm that pulls and pushes the deep pocket funk and strafes it with a post-bop sensibility. Grey's bassing here is so choice, so utterly fluid and physical. But it's back to jazz on "If..." with Jackson ...
