I became aware of this Hubbard record trough this forum so thanks guys. Big Hubbard, Henderson and Hutch fan but never noticed it for the almost 20 years I am listening to jazz now. But better late than never. Damn I wish I was there. 

Fwiw, there were two more LPs issues from this same gig. All three are of equally high quality!

Red Clay was was a favourite of mine 50 years ago and has been since then. But is this another record, I have thought on Red Clay is Lennie White on drums and Herbie Hancock on piano, if I remember right. 

The Group Billy Childs, Joe Henderson and Hutch was later, right ? Just got "Keystone Bop" the two CDs this Chrismas and it´s fantastic. 

So, is this another album I don´t have ?

Oh yeah it’s great! Love the little solo saxophone piece as well. I am unable to pick a true favorite out of this Harper period but if I’d really had to it probably be Knowledge of Self. 

Since 2014 we’ve got our own vinyl dealer here in the town of Heemskerk (pop. 40.000). Always happy to support him I decided to bring him a stack of cds to sell ( some Foo Fighters, RHCP, Deftones, Neil Young and more). I still listen to those guys but Spotify is enough for me with the music that I listen to sporadically. He was happy with them. Then I started digging trough the 3 jazz crates he has. Mostly there’s nothing in it which isn’t very strange for such a small shop. Then I started digging trough the crates and stumbled on this 1975 Italian pressing. As I wanted to pay he told me to leave that and gave it for free. Extremely happy with it. He warned me about Italian pressing's from the 1970’s: they were like Italian cars from the same era. Lovely to look at but crappy quality but it sounds fine. So does my Italian Prestige Pressing of Gary Bartz recording I’ve Known Rivers

"Knowledge Of Self" also a testament for the capabilities of rather unsung bassplayer Greg Maker .... btw "art director" Reggie Workman could give some input how to record a bass appropriately for sure 😎 ....

Interesting Sunday afternoon exercise comparing two versions of the Miles Davis 'Miles' LP on Prestige - the first full session on that label with Coltrane.

Esquire pressing - nice and crisp, Paul Chambers and Philly Jo Jones more prominent.

US Bergenfield issue (2nd press) - still good but seems a bit 'muddier' and Chambers/Philly Jo not quite so distinct.

Verdict - the Esquire has the edge I think.

Lancia rustbuckets !

Reminds me of a 70s Italian pressing of Miles' 'Sorcerer' I bought back then, at a time when it was difficult to get hold of in the UK. Very crackly but nice sonics in terms of overall sound.

Pat Martino 'East!' (Prestige, purple label). Kindly signed on the front for me by Pat.

Once upon a time when I still had vinyl, there was a solo bass LP called The Works Of Workman on Denon (I think).

One day  doesnt make the difference - could also be a typo

The music is what really counts.

Never on CD, or I would have repurchased it. Sold all of my vinyl 20+ years ago.

Another jewel in the crown of Denon regarding bass recordings is Randy Weston-Vishnu Wood Duo "Perspective" from 1977 .... the bass solo track "Khadesha" is defying description .... this actually saw CD release in 1989 and is available via Discogs for little money 🧐🤓 ....
