An LP-and-a-half's worth of material recorded by
Freddie Hubbard and his sextet (with tenor saxophonist
Joe Henderson, pianist
Billy Childs, vibraphonist
Bobby Hutcherson, bassist
Larry Klein, and drummer
Steve Houghton) at the legendary San Francisco club Keystone Korner one night in 1981. The great trumpeter is in excellent form on three of his compositions ("Birdlike," "Sky Dive," and "The Intrepid Fox"),
Hutcherson's "The Littlest One of All," and "Body and Soul." Although few surprises occur,
Hubbard fans can be assured that this set finds him in excellent form on a good night. ~ Scott Yanow
