Without a Song: Live in Europe 1969 (Blue Note)
This seven-tune recording, which sat in the Blue Note vaults for four decades, catches the trumpeter at his creative best on the road with pianist Roland Hanna, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Louis Hayes.
This is the first posthumous release of Hubbard material since his death last December and it's a true measure of a musician who was one of the best of his generation.
He mixes his fast flourishes with slow, simmering sounds through a set list that includes A Night in Tunisia, Body and Soul, Hub-Tones and an open-form Space Track.
Hanna is Monkish in spots, Hayes drives hard and Carter is his usual, wonderful, anchor (although too far back in the mix in places, as happens in a '60s live recording), but it is the brilliant Hubbard who makes this disc worth adding to your collection. 'Ö'Ö'Ö'Ö
