Within 14 months he had recorded three more hard bop classics—Goin' Up, Hub Cap, and Ready for Freddie—each one a showcase for his dynamic playing. Recorded in April 1961, Hub Cap was the first of his Blue Note dates that also highlighted Hubbard's growing skill as a composer, with four of the album's six pieces coming from his pen including the hard-charging title track, the alluring, richly textured \"Luana,\" and the swaggering shuffle of the swinging \"Osie Mae.\" Bringing the music to life was a sympatico sextet with trombonist Julian Priester and tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath joining Hubbard on the frontline backed by a rhythm section of pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Larry Ridley, and drummer Philly Joe Jones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series was born out of Blue Note President Don Was' admiration for the exceptional audiophile Blue Note LP reissues presented by Music Matters.
