Freddie Hubbard- "Groovy"

[jazzkrow]

Saw this on Amazon and elsewhere- 1961 session with Pepper Adams and Duke Pearson-complete with several alt takes.

Anyone have/heard this one?

Appears prime period for Freddie?

Worth picking up?

It was also issued on Prestige under Duke Pearson's name, as Dedication. Apparently the session was put together by/for trombonist Willie Wilson for the Jazzline label, but didn't see release until the Fontana LP under Hubbard's name and, later, under Pearson's.

Black Lion also released it on CD under Hubbard's name as "Minor Mishap." Very confusing.

Remains the question whether this new reissue on Solar is a legit release.

It most certainly is NOT.

I like it, legit or not it's still a nice date.

Damn tricky to follow-I ALREADY have "Dedication" and "Minor Mishap"

Never thought to have checked under Pearson or the Hubbard Black Lion.

Maybe most everything of Freddie's is out already from that period??

You guys saved me $- Thanks!

This one has certainly done the rounds! I had the Fontana vinyl then was forunate enought to find a Japanese Jazzline cd with the alternates.

Yeah I liked the CD in the Duke Pearson incarnation

Maybe not essential but very likable.
