Originally issued in 1989 on Timeless Records out of the Netherlands, this was reissued by Tidal Waves music in 2023. Hubbard and Blakey are joined by Leon Dorsey (bass), Benny Green (piano), and Javon Jackson (tenor sax). The last track swaps Lonnie Plaxico for Dorsey and Mulgrew Miller for Green.
Blakey died in 1990 so this is certainly late in his career. Recorded at Studio 44 in Holland by Max Bolleman.
My copy is the Vinyl Me, Please exclusive on Violet colored vinyl, limited to 300 foil-stamped and numbered copies, which was issued in 2023.
