...featuring Freddie Hubbard, goes far to proving that the old Hubbard, the just-breaking-in-brash-young Hubbard, could do things that the more esteemed Hubbard could not even understand now. This album gives you the best of Hubbard and some terrific tenor sax by Jimmy Heath and Wayne Shorter. Cedar Walton shows why he is still one of the most under-rated pianists in his smooth accompaniement.

Stars with a mass significantly greater than that of the sun burn their fuel in a profligate manner and die young; a star ten times as massive as the sun, for example, burns 1,000 times faster and survives only 100 million years. The sun, which is some...
...with a purpose," an opportunity to stroll or picnic. For others, it is a madcap race in which speed afoot is as important as accuracy of map reading. A fast runner might plot a lengthier indirect course over clear ground, whereas a canny, perhaps flabbier orienteer might take the shorter, riskier route of a direct bearing...
