I knew Freddie, met him in a studio in LA around 1973. He even let me play his horn, the guy was a down to earth dude and an incredible Jazz player. With all the accolades and Jazz fame he was a humble honest man. He told me to always strive to do your own thing musically, but I still try to cop his riffs. RIP Freddie, hope you are up there with Gabriel playing your heart out.

You could have sat through this whole night for less than 20 bucks. Hard to believe now. What a joint.

How the hell does Freddie move around so much without screwing up his embochure?

I've hesitated saying this because it's such a broad claim, but I feel that Freddie was the greatest trumpeter to ever live. Perhaps one of the greatest. And I say that as someone who played trumpet starting in 1967 at the age of 9, for what that's worth.

❤ Ron Carter, a classical favorite for all times thank you.

R.I.P. Cedar Walton. He was a master of the music, not just on piano but compositionally as well. Never hear him play over Ron Carter's tune Little Waltz before and it is a real treat.

Can never get enough of seeing Freddie do his thing. Not only was he so technically gifted but his body language when he plays draws you in. He is really playing with all that is in him and the results are breathtaking. I can watch and listen to him and Lee Morgan and Woody Shaw and Blue Mitchell and Donald Byrd and....well, you guys get the general idea.

Freddie, we will never forget you!

Damn Freddy was the real deal.

This is jazz played at the absolute highest level. I'm following the accompaniment as much as the soloist. Everything note, chord and phrase Ron and Cedar play sends ripples through the group, the responses from the other members are lightning fast and harmonious--nothing is lost. So much going on here.

I had the blessing of working with Freddie twice. There is no trumpeter like him. A truly creative being, indeed. ❤😀🙏🏼

These cats are all unbelievable, but my God, Lenny White is a national treasure.

I just love freddie's warm tone

That first track is a killer. Where would we be without Freddie??!!

Just today I was wishing I’d seen Freddie Hubbard live. My older sibling had an album of his, and I would play it as a 12-13 yo back in the early 70’s. I thought he was great.

Freddie ,what a style ,salt and sugar ,cedar Walton ,Ron carter ,Lenny white ,Magic moments!!!!!!!!

Happy times / Hubbard --

...and the late great Cedar Walton at the piano!

freddie at his best. imagine being in the audience and have seen this group.

This is JAZZ at its best
