Featuring a top-flight quintet including trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, pianist Horace Parlan, bassist George Tucker and drummer Al Harewood. Showcasing bluesy hard-bop originals like ‘Society Red’ and also a famous take on the ballad ‘You’ve Changed’. The classic cover was designed by Reid Miles and photographed by Francis Wolff.
