Hubbard, Freddie
Open Sesame
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1998 Classic Records DVD-Audio reissue; 24/96 DAD "Master tape sound". NOT COMPATIBLE WITH STANDARD CD PLAYERS. Features Tina Brooks, McCoy Tyner, Sam Jones and Clifford Jarvis. "Freddie Hubbard's first recording as a leader, Open Sesame features the 22-year-old trumpeter in a quintet with tenor saxophonist Tina Brooks, the up-and-coming pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Clifford Jarvis. This set shows that even at this early stage, Hubbard had the potential to be one of the greats. On the ballad "But Beautiful" he shows maturity; other highlights include "Open Sesame," a driving "All or Nothing at All" and "One Mint Julep." It's an impressive start to what would be a very interesting career." All Music Guide - Scott Yanow.
