The recording sessions for the album took place in November 1962 and January 1963, and featured a lineup of Hubbard on trumpet, James Spaulding on alto saxophone and flute, Herbie Hancock on piano, Reggie Workman on bass, and Clifford Jarvis on drums.

"Hub-Tones" is considered one of Hubbard's best albums and a classic of the hard bop genre, with its mix of catchy melodies, sophisticated harmonies, and dynamic solos. The title track, which features a memorable trumpet riff and a bluesy solo by Spaulding, has become a jazz standard and a staple of Hubbard's repertoire.
