Herbie Hancock & Freddie Hubbard Takin' Off & Hub-Tones DMM 180g Import 2LP (Vinyl)

Two Original Albums On 180g Vinyl Double LP!
Featuring The Hit Song "Watermelon Man"!

Takin' Off is the debut album of jazz pianist Herbie Hancock, originally released in 1962 for the Blue Note label. The recording session included Freddie Hubbard on trumpet and veteran Dexter Gordon on tenor saxophone. The album was a typical hard bop LP, with its characteristic two horns and a rhythm section. The bluesy single "Watermelon Man" made it to the Top 100 of the pop charts, and went on to become a jazz standard.

Hub-Tones is the sixth album by trumpeter Freddie Hubbard. On Hub-Tones, Hubbard utilizes the paths of freedom forged by Ornette and 'Trane, but stays grounded to the classic Blue Note sound. Both albums were recorded by Rudy Van Gelder.
