As much as I love Horst Jankowski, isn't the first track stolen from KPM, though? 

It came out under two names.  "Little Racer" is the name on the Jankowski album; I will have to check the KPM name.

This was not unusual.  For example, Les Baxter's GNP Crescendo album titled Africa Blue was released as a KPM album called Boogaloo in Brasil

The Hubbard does not seem to have the bonus track, which is apparently the same 'Muses' composition that appeared in the Dolphy Resonance set. That is annoying.

 

I have 2 reissues of "The Hub of Hubbard", one is a Japanese CD from early 90's and the another is from 2009.  The latter has "Muses" as a bonus track.   It's the same tune Dolphy recorded, and this time played as trumpet/bass duo by Hubbard and Davis.  I suspect it's the same take issued in Davis' own MPS album (recorded on the same day), but I'm not sure.  Not bad, but very subdued and a bit boring.

"The Hub of Hubbard" is a lively album, but I always think something wrong with Louis Hayes then.  His time keeping was messed up.  "Without a Song: Live In Europe 1969" features the same band and I think it's better.  Or w.r.t Hubbard's MPS output, "Rollin'" is a little known gem.
