another one that’s been floating in my playlist for a while (n.b. this is 2 posts in 2 days – go back a day if you missed it!).  this was (re)seeded on dime by senormogul9 just over a year ago.  their comments (below) need nothing added about the show, and are a good insight into first months on dime (and its ilk):  seeing a feast to which you have limited or, perhaps for a while, no access.  been there, done that.  good choice, senormogul9, hope my d/l helped.

greetings soundfolk! it’s freddie hubbard day at the house and i’ll conclude the day with freddie in front of the classic miles sidemen of his 60’s quintet. essentially, we have the vsop band here, minus wayne shorter, making it verrrry “vsop-ish”. it’s a good fm capture overall straight off the queen mary.

i remember getting this very well, i got it from awesome dimer glasnostrd19 back in july 2013. i had just joined dime a few months earlier and when i joineed, i knew nothing about things like “share ratios”. so, when i got on, i downloaded a ton of absolutely weird, esoteric shit, and suddenly, i couldn’t download anymore! i couldn’t figure it out, unbeknownst to me, i had neglected to read the fine print! 🙂 so, i had to wait for enough people to be enticed to download my “weird, esoteric shit” to get me to the 0.25 line where i could begin again.

that took several months, and finally i got to download this. so, enjoy this! thanks ian!

i’ll give you a sample, enjoy!

just back from a great trip to são paulo.  a lot of work, but had a great time.  saw a very little bit of the city, like having a sip of someone’s drink, really.  here’s a little something that’s helping fight my jetlag (which is pretty fierce… due to flight cancellations, it took over 34 hours, door-to-door, to get home).

here’s another freddie hubbard show, from almost exactly 10 years later.  why have one when two will do as well or (as here) even better?  saturday turned into a bit of a hubbard-fest around here, not stopping with two shows, but that’s all for tonight.

this was (re)seeded by ubu on dime back in 2008.

finally got our car up & running, those little things like insurance, license plates, etc can be a challenge in the right (or wrong) circumstances.  so, driving to work on friday in the car for the first time, i had a handful of usb thumb drives, but out of all that, this show was the only thing that would play on the car stereo…

i downloaded this in august 2014, when ‘jazamo’ seeded it on dime, commenting that “here’s a nice set from freddie hubbard recorded in 1977. freddie moves away from his standard lineup replacing the tenor sax with electric guitar on this tour. re-seeded here in it’s original fm broadcast mp2 codec, the sound is excellent. many thanks to the original seeder!”   thanks, jazamo!

no covers today.
