5.0 out of 5 stars Goin' Up Up Up!, July 9, 2000

Every album Freddie Hubbard made for Blue Note is a winner. From "Open Sesame" to "Blue Spirits," Hubbard's albums feature great lineups, increasingly sophisticated compositions, and classic improvisational flights. "Goin' Up" is his second album for Blue Note, and what a great sophomore effort it is. Freddie is joined on this album by Hank Mobley, McCoy Tyner, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones. As with his first album, mostly others lend their writing talents to "Goin' Up." Hubbard wrote only "Blues for Brenda," with Kenny Dorham (at Hubbard's request) and Hank Mobley each contibuting two, and Billy Smith, a friend of Freddie's, adding one. This album is a shining example of the kind of quality recording Blue Note was known for in the 50s and 60s. It's limited on CD so hurry up before "Goin' Up" gets going.

In my quest to obtain more sessions with the great Hank Mobley, I picked up this album. This was a no brainer because Freddie Hubbard has quickly become my favorite trumpet player, particularly when paired with Mobley. for some reason, Hank just seems even more passionate and fiery when coupled with Hubbard, who to my untrained ear pushes Hank more than a Lee Morgan or Art Farmer. Hubbard's playing is so dynamic that I think it forces Mobley to step up his game to compete with the younger man. I love "The Changing Scene", one of two Mobley penned numbers. Hubbard is almost out of control on his solo and Hank Mobley is at his smooth best. Their playing on the two Kenny Dorham numbers are inspired. "I Wished I Knew" is a beautifully rendered ballad. McCoy Tyner lends some able work on the ivories and once again Philly Joe Jones and Paul Chambers lay the perfect foundation. Philly Joe has become my favorite jazz drummer for his solid tempo and restrained fury on solos, especially evident on "Karioka". All five of these musicians acquit themselves admirably on this set. Freddie Hubbard would only get better, but this album is pretty close to perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply his best album, February 21, 2010

This may be the first date Hubbard did for Blue Note, it is a 1960 date and it shines like the sun, I mean this is Hubbard's best album and if you dont own it you dont have the best there is.
