Freddie Hubbard's 1981 West Coast gem, recorded after his Columbia departure. A relaxed, sophisticated session featuring Art Pepper, George Cables, Stanley Clarke and Peter Erskine. Hubbard's playing shines throughout—confident and poetic—with standout tracks including the funky "Bring It Back Home," the ballad "Eclipse," and Cables' beautiful "Blue Nights.". Essential listening that deserves far more recognition in Hubbard's catalogue.
