V.S.O.P. Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, Tony Williams / Greece 08.09.1985 FM Broadcast Edition

This is an extremely rare live recording, unearthed from a radio broadcast, of their performance at the Jazz Festival in Athens, Greece on August 9, 1985, during their reunion tour with Freddie Hubbard replacing Wynton Marsalis. The coolness of the first track, “Footprints,” is exceptional, making this a must-listen for hard bop fans. Live At Athens, Greece 08/09/1985 Disc 1 1. Footprints 2. It’s Only Pepper Moon 3.
