Summary:

It is 1980 and the Brussels Jazz Club is hosting Freddie Hubbard's quintet: David Schnitter (tenor saxophone) who has just spent six years with the Jazz Messengers, Sinclair Lott (drums), who was also collaborating with Frank Zappa during the same period, as well as the young Larry Klein (bass) and Billy Childs (piano), who were introduced during this collaboration. Having recently left Herbie Hancock's V.S.O.P., the trumpeter extends its jazz-funk in the tradition of his own album released a year earlier, Skagly, whose title track he revisits at the beginning. But the concert then moves on to the hard-bop where the quintet cranks up the pressure, particularly Hubbard, who shows how much his technique combines power and a disconcerting speed. Delhaye
