On this date, not only are the tunes classic, everyone’s solos stand out as some of the most classic of all time. After the first declarative phrase, Freddie Hubbard comes down a bit, using dynamics, then gets funky and bends notes as only he can. At 1:48 he takes a phrase, repeats it a little differently each time, and ends his solo definitively. It should be noted that these are not particularly easy chord changes, and Freddie effortlessly snakes his way through them.
