Freddie Hubbard - Denver 1973

Here's the last of the early/mid seventies shows, another great one!
This is again in the mood of the early CTI albums I'd say (as I stated before, I only have "Red Clay" and "Straight Life" so far).
On the rhodes, there's once more George Calbes, and on tenor the great Junior Cook, while bassist and drummer Kent Brinkley and Ralph Penland are again unfamiliar to me - but this is a great band, and a fairly decent (but far from perfect) recording, for its age. It grooves mightily, that's for sure!

As a related bonus, I'll also have a 1975 Stanley Turrentine show (with a quartet, on drums in Bruno Carr, keyboarder and bassist are unknowns to me, John Miller and Tarura Nakamura - could well be a spelling error in the bassist name, please correct me in a comment if you know better so my upload will be more correct!)
