This is a nice enough album, but True Blue from a week later is the classic.

I agree that Hubbard had a nice run as a leader at Blue Note. Blue Spirits is my favourite.

This is a nice enough album, but True Blue from a week later is the classic.

No argument here.

Been listening to the Conn of Hub's "Goin' Up" recorded around the same time.

[Big Al]

This is a nice enough album, but True Blue from a week later is the classic.

Just curious: why is that? I hold them in equally high regard, and believe this would've made a fantastic double-album!

[clifford_thornton]

I also hold them both in equal esteem, though the Brooks gets more spins by me. Duke Jordan may be the reason for the extra listens. No DLPs at this time, but hey, why not make some extra $$ and keep 'em separate?
