About
Freddie Hubbard's trumpet solo is the second of 3 solos on this recording, following Herbie Hancock's piano and before Ron Carter's closing acoustic bass statement. Spanning five choruses of the 28-bar ABAB' form at an up-tempo 200 BPM with a swing feel, the solo runs approximately 2:45. Freddie Hubbard follows with five trumpet choruses that build in intensity, his solo developing a different narrative arc from the issued version. Freddie Hubbard was 25 to 26 years old at the time of this 1964 recording. "Oliloqui Valley" is an original composition by pianist Herbie Hancock, written for his landmark 1964 album Empyrean Isles on Blue Note Records.
