how can someone dislike this wonderful video? If Bach was alive, he would be probably jammin' with these legendary jazzers

L'un des plus beaux morceaux de jazz que je connaisse; souvenirs souvenirs ... d'une lointaine jeunesse

What a man! Just hits the double C in the middle of the solo without breaking a sweat.. Freddie's got crazy skills..

i agree. its good. this video nearly convinced me that freddie hubbard was the greatest trumpet ever. rest in peace freddie. we miss your spirit and you will never be forgotten.

I had the pleasure of playing with Herbie and composing a song for Freddie. These cats are legends indeed!

The best performance of this classic piece I've ever found on KZfaq :)

That may be the best Freddie Hubbard solo I've ever heard. When my daughter was an infant, she literally turned her head while feeding from a bottle when she heard this solo when this Blue Note special was on HBO. Later when Cassandra Wilson came on and started singing, she crapped her diaper. True Story!

This live version of Cantaloupe Island is the BEST! Herbie plays the piano so funky. The other musicians also are great.

my vote for greatest recorded trumpet solo on planet earth.

Deep pocket, deep pockets, pocketatious, pocketized 'n fonkey out too... Freddie Tony and Joe, man... that energy will live forever!

Freddie!! Hub you were the man. Thanks wherever you are!

Cuando no sé que escuchar, recurro a esta maravilla. Y la vida se ve de otra manera.

Freddie Hubbard was one of the all-time greats.

high caliber musicians , never again u'll see in this life , thank god for video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are SO lucky that this amazing moment in musical history was captured on audio and video. Absolutely mind blowing playing by everyone on the stage--and FREDDIE, dear lord! Hearing solos like this, it's no suprise why Hub went down in history as the Don of the modern jazz trumpet (to coin a phrase by my friend Maurice Brown). Hopefully Herbie and Ron will have many healthy and happy years ahead of them. RIP Freddie, Joe, and Tony--your many musical contributions will never be forgotten!

I love the way Ron just eases into those notes. What a groove.

i love jazz i think that jazz will never die as a musical style. but whats sad is that now most of our youth dousn't listen to this special kind of music. for all i know lil' wayne can be gone tomorrow but jazz stays forever. i think our youth needs to listen to more jazz and keep the fire burning.

Joe Henderson approaches his solo in an amazing number of ways, deconstructs the harmony, the modal approach. He was a giant.

The 4 original musicians plus the great Joe Henderson on a serious classic! Don't get no better!

Superb sound.....fabulous muscians.....great jazz standard beautifully played....fantastic....

Yes yes Herbie and Co. Beautiful sounds!

Quintessential modern jazz classic!

Mr. Hancock, you're the Greatest!

The title number recalls an essence of wonderful flavor. A quite good feeling!

What a frontline! Hancock, Hubbard, Henderson, Carter and Williams.

R.I.P. Freddie Hubbard, and thanks.

Every jazz trumpeter, student or otherwise, owes him a debt, there was no one he didn't influence with his technique, his soul, his style, his sound.. there was no style of music he couldn't play, I am stunned tonight.

this tune,take five,love supreme,and so what(kind of blue album) got me into jazz...never gets old

This lineup -- doesn't get any better than this...

herbies comping towards the end is incredible, so is hubbards solo, and hendersons AHHH its just incredible!

This is what I call GOOD MUSIC

Post bop jazz does not get any better than this. This is a performance to cherish. Everyone is on top of their game. The solo work, the ensemble work--all perfect!

awesome musicians, amazing song, great,great,great!!!!!

Breathtaking!...Amazing!..Love it!

Damn, Freddy givin' it to that trumpet like it's his prom date!

Questa si che é una esecuzione strumentale, senza basi e trucchi di computers, Grande.

tell curtis mayfield that ;) rest in peace mr hubbard.. thanks for the great music.

cosa si vuole piu'dalla vita?kuesta musica e'divina i love jazz!!!!!!!

I've watched this video on youtube almost every time im online. and every single time i say to myself that this is the best video i have ever witnessed by far. this is jazz and what every artist should strive for, though no one can do it like these guys

love it love it this song is totally awesome

this song and version are amazing

man, what a groove, so tight and yet so loose, GENIUS.

Yeah....there will never be another Freddie and Joe..... ooh RIP TONY

«Jazz is Freedom. You think about that.» T. Monk Freddie Hubbard, one of the last Jazz legends, died one day after my 15th birthday. The day when he died I was watching an interview of him and this solo on «Blue Note - A Story of modern Jazz» and I thought: «This is an historical Solo for the Jazz». Rest in Peace Freddie.

Greatest groove ever made EVER

Awesome music. As I never have been heared before. I like mainly the starting. Great.

just gotta LOVE that piano!!!

Such a PERFECT CLASSIC Score..!!! Always glad to hear this..! RIP Freddie..!

i've heard this song all over the place as far back as i can remember but i never knew who wrote it. man, we owe the jazz world our gratitude. to do less than honour these geniuses and their work is to do a disservice to american culture and humanity as a whole

man oh man...pure magic

Every time I watch this I enjoy it immensely.

Whenever I listen to this song, I have to close my eyes, bob my head, and go on the journey to Canteloupe Island with Herbie and the crew. It ain't always the same ride, but its always a good one. Kudos to Hubbard and Henderson for the solo work! esp. Hubbard... good Lord, man! You blowin that thing!

This and watermelon man, best two songs ever to improvise to. Me and my friends go at it for hours.

Damn, the trumpet solo is pure electric energy. I love this noise.

This is a classic for sure. Guy really knew how to pick the "right" notes.

This is a true inspiration to jazz players and jammers everywhere.

How many rithms..........i like this Trumpet player. Thanks for posting it

beautiful music !!

That trumpet solo was great. I really love the groove to this song.

greatest trumpet solo of all times...

Freddie's solo AMAZING!!

The best trumpet solo of all times...

Herbie is one of the greatest...fabulous tune and incredible playing!!!

That's a great song. We're playing it in our middle school jazz band.

vraiment , merci pour ce bouquet d'artistes; genial

This is by far the best version ever!

Omg. I love you Freddie. And your power stance =)

Dear Freddie.... R.I.P.

Great!!! Amazing music, a classic

Hubbard opens with a lyrical motif establishes the changes ... includes space ... then starts to burn (look at the note he delineates when he goes into the upper register) having grounded the solo he cooks and it is meaningful shit played with intensity and total commitment ... finally he gives primacy to a lyrical approach when he takes it out. A god of trumpet

that pocket is so tight. These guys are truely the best of their time.

Tony Williams' drumming has such attacking attitude, he drives up the energy level without calling undue attention to himself.

Had to play this at school. This one is so better.

Bye Freddie! All jazzmen will never forget this, your legendary solo! Tell to Tony that we miss him too!!

Chills. True soul.

Sweet Jesus! My man still gots it!

it seems absurd to say such a thing, but that is the most amazing trumpet solo of all time.

Such a PERFECT CLASSIC Score..!!! Always glad to hear this..!

What an incredible lineup!

I wouldn't put quite that way, but your appreciation of his talent is definitely shared by me.

just to be here,and to hear ,is enough ,,everything music these people have laid on the world is maybe not even deserved of the world

I love the groove in this song, FANTASTIC!

freddie hubbard is my favorite trumpeter to listen to. full of tricks and makes it look easy

great music to listen to while studying

Simply Masterful. thanks for the post.. wow!

Yea!! The best music ever !!! :)

Excellent talent, could listen to them all day.

This is one HELL of a lineup of PLAYERS , JAZZ MEN, FOR REAL ,"LONG LIVE TONY "THANKYOU !!

Wait! Hold the phone! Damn I've been listening to this version now about umpteen times and now marveling at how that mutha**f**g Hancock switches from basic melodic structure of noting to chording and tempo shifting and all in perfect counterbalance to Hubbard's masterful swinging trumpet, pounding out a beautiful rendition that hits so many strides, I cannot keep up or find my stumbling listening skills twirling and almost giving up. HANCOCK just continues to demonstrate he is not human, a fallen angel sent to give us a glimpse of the Empyrean Realm, allowing us to swim in those sacred waters!!! Damn!!!! God Bless Him!!! God Bless Ron Hubbard, Tony Williams, Ron Carter, et al for moving into our world for a brief time to bring utter joy!

This is SO absolutely SICK! Long live the TRUE American art form that is jazz!

Best band..!

absolutely stellar.

Tony Williams. May The Master rest peacefully.

I love this great music

increible, todo una delicia de jazz. Gracias.

Brilliant music!

bless moses!!....that SAX solo and that PIANO solo......**dies*

we played this song in my jazz band at school. Its pretty nice.

This is my favorite version of this song. This is a group of Blue Note All Stars recorded in 1987.

the end of herbies solo makes me sink into the earth in happiness
