Hub Cap is an album by trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and was released on the Blue Note label in 1961 as BLP 4073 and BST 84073.

It features performances by Hubbard, Julian Priester, Jimmy Heath, Cedar Walton, Larry Ridley and Philly Joe Jones.

The track "Cry Me Not", composed by Randy Weston for the session and arranged by Melba Liston, was considered by Hubbard to be "the most interesting tune on the record".

Jimmy Heath's tenor sax has a dry loquacity, and drummer Philly Joe Jones sustains a constant push and chatter of hi-hat snaps, swishing cymbal caresses and rimshot rattles.

And for all the idiom's prevailing speediness, it's the pulsating warmth of the arrangement and Hubbard's balance of spaciousness and fitfully unleashed power on Randy Weston's rhapsodic "Cry Me Not" that is a particular highlight of a memorable set.
