  An astonishing debut. Hubbard arrives sounding fully formed, with a trumpet style that combines technical brilliance and emotional directness. The front line featuring Tina Brooks gives the album a distinctive character, while McCoy Tyner hints at future developments in modern jazz piano. The title track alone would justify the album's reputation. It announced the arrival of one of the decade's most important voices.
