Freddie Hubbard - Hub Cap (4/9/61)
The origin of the title "Hub Cap" comes from Hubbard's nickname. "Cry Me Not" was composed by Weston for the session and arranged by Melba Liston. Hubbard considered it "the most interesting tune on the record". "Luana" is dedicated to Hubbard's niece, whilst "Osie Mae" - a title which sounded "funky" to Hubbard - is characterized by an A-B-A-B pattern. "Earmon Jr.", composed by Hubbard and arranged by Ed Summerlin, was named for Hubbard's brother, a pianist.
