Doin' the Thang!

is the debut album by jazz pianist Ronnie Mathews featuring trumpeter Freddie Hubbard recorded for the Prestige label in 1963.

[1][2][3] Alex Henderson of AllMusic said "the LP's focus is modal post-bop and non-soul-jazz hard bop.

But even though the material isn't soul-jazz, Mathews' quintet is certainly soulful... Hubbard, who was only 25 when Doin' the Thang was recorded, brings a lot to the session – not only fire, guts, and passion, but also a big, highly appealing tone".
