Recorded at Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on December 27, 1962
This album was scheduled for release as BST 84135 in 1963 but was never issued.
"This album was recorded in December 1962, mastered, given a catalogue number and a cover that even appeared on inner sleeves of other Blue Note albums. But for reasons unknown, this recording, which Hubbard later proclaimed one of his favorites, sat in the can for another 13 years! With the exception of Philly Joe Jones, all of the musicians were members of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers at the time and their empathy matches their considerable skills. If there is a highlight here, it’s Hubbard’s challenging "Nostrand and Fulton", which everyone pulls off with aplomb."
