Jukka Eskola Quintet
Hub Up
(Stride)
2006
A beautiful tribute to the electric side of trumpeter Freddie Hubbard , done by Jukka Eskola
from Five Corners Quintet, in a mode that almost beats some of Freddie's classic work for CTI! The setting here is spare and
simple , trumpet from Jukka, tenor from Timo Lassey, and bass, drums, and plenty of sweet electric keys. All hitting a groove
that's soulful, soaring, and filled with the new sense of invention that Hubbard brought to his work at the start of the 70s.
Most of the tracks here are originals by Hubbard , "Keep Your Soul Together", "Gibraltar", "Povo",
and "Love Connection" , but the set also features the well-penned original "Deli", and a version of Weldon
Irvine's "Mr Clean" , a key title in the Hubbard songbook of the CTI years!
Tracklist:
01 - Keep Your Soul Together
02 - Gibraltar
03 - Brigitte
04 - Deli
05 - Mr.Clean
06 - Povo
07 - Love Connection
