Trumpet great Freddie Hubbard at the top of his game, with West Coast all-stars digging into his sturdiest compositions - plus John Coltrane's technically challenging piece "Giant Steps" - during a couple of nights in San Francisco, eternally exciting though recorded 30 years ago. A bounteous gift to any fan or fan-in-the-making of fiery and funky, sophisticated and melodically inspired music.
