RIP Freddie My all time favorite trumpet player!

I was just 20 when I saw this band and had a chance to hang with the musicians afterward. I had the chance to meet them quite a few times since then and do not want to miss a second of this apotheosis.

Freddie Hubbard's records in the 50's and early 60's are what it's all about. Fantastic clip of an immortal genius.

thumbs up if ur here because u already knew about this song long before the American Idol singers did it

Freddie has that fire like Dizzy🎺🎶😎

Art! My hero and mentor... After setting up his drums for him I saw to it that a glass of orange juice and a bottle of Heineken rested near his hi hat stand! A man who showed men how to live.

Freddie + Trumpet = Perfection... He's definitely one of my biggest inspirations! Was thinking the other day what would I sound like if cats like Freddie, Miles & Clifford never existed. I'm so thankful for all the love they have given us. @eatsleeptrumpet Great clip!

i cant believe people are arguing on this when just above is some of the greatest music written being played by the dopest cats ever. CHILL OUT:WATCH:LISTEN:ENJOY

Freddie was one of the greatest improvisers of our time! RIP

Very few artists have made so much great music:Hubs of Hubbard, Dive Bomber, Black Angel, the list goes on and on. No one better.

The young lion! Freddie was killin it

this is one of the funnest songs to jam to... period.

Freddie Hubbard is one of the most influential trumpeter in jazz history.

This will survive time, it will be just as cool as it is now in a million years!

One of my favorite Freddie solos!!!

uffffffff que virtud la que se logra cuando se toca con el alma y con el corazon......................

amazingly, all the horn line from this generation of the messengers are all still kickin it

RIP unfortunately the great musicians die out :-[

This is one of the great groups in jazz history. Art Blakey - Buhaina - was the leading promoter of brilliant younger talent through the 50s, 60s, and 70s. This band is Freddie on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Wayne Shorter on tenor, Bobby Timmons (the writer of the classic "Moanin'") on piano, Jymie Merritt on bass, and Blakey on drums. What a shame it cuts off in the middle!!!

Rest In Peace, Freddie... this video is classic.

Love this tune! Freddie Hubbard is an awesome jazz trumpeter!

Tremendous subject, is one of my favorites, raises to you of your chair and to dance, the hands cannot be quiet. to place it complete, so that youth learns. Congratulations

Art Blakey. Too Good.

FREDDIE HUBBARD KILLS EM!!!

one of the best trumpet solos of all time

Woo! Freddie is a bad boy!

you're so right man, ignore people who don't know the lingo

Now THIS is good music.

Freddy's definitely on fire in this video.

absolutely totally outrageous!!

@kingpleasure BTW, I have loved and listened to jazz for 53 years & am open to good playing no matter who it is. I used to listen to Symphony Sid's show on radio when I was a kid and he played a ton of Cal Tjader & Art Blakey back then. All that music was happening right then and it was all great, which is why it still is now. I have about 20 Jazz Messengers albums & love that music. Horace, Art, Lee, Freddie, Bobby, Jackie were Gods IMO.& embodied joy and love, not hate.

Best way I have ever heard for talking about two amazing players. I'm stealing that!

Freddie…prototypical,jazz trumpet giant

May 'ol Freddie rest in peace.

The Best years of Freddie!!!

I was scheduled to play in Freddie Hubbards Octet in June He go sick, and couldn't make it. That's one of my biggest regrets,even though it wasn't my fault :( RIP Freddie

Love this older jazz!

Timeless All-American Art.

Freddie is COOKIN' on this tune.

daam he jumped into his solo like he was runing from the law

one of the best videos on youtube today

Wow, 2.26-2.32 gives me chills!

FH is always amazing, in ANY context.

Cool jazz video.

0:54 ...way to make me jump out of my seat Freddie...thnaks...jeez. RIP

..Freddie Hubbard's eternal,great solo...

Freddie 's tune is great from this time.

I think Freddie might have to be my favourite trumpet player

Rest in Peace, Mr. Hubbard

Freddy's a badass. I've never seen him with a mustache, though...

killer shufflle!!!

Amazing! Freddie Hubbard was only 24 years old!

Greatness....

I was looking for the Lambert, Hendriks and Ross version but discovered this gem instead. Thanks for posting.

Hell of a trumpet!!!

Great version, great song, great lineup! Thanks for posting this!

agree. lets just enjoy it.

Dude I played this in jazzband one day with my some of my friends. Awesome song! Fun to improvise off of.

R I P Freddie 12/29/2008

Nice for dancing too.

26 people weren't hugged enough as a child.

Killer.Stylish,slick,swinging....gotta watch myself or I'll view the clip way too many times!

Freddie Hubbard can be found on an all time great Morning Sun by Alphonse Mouzon... Freddie RIP

Now you done it.Just for the for this cut only Freddie made me forge t about Lee Morgan outstanding performances of this classic .This is pure gold.

Why do people have to give negative comments so fucking much on this thing? There's a good reason we're all watching this video... R.I.P.

Thanks for posting this!!!

I like how they kinda used the backgrounds from Backstage Sally

ART BLAKEY'S A PIMP!!!

Just Amazing

Um dos mestres do trompete...

technically this is tougher than Lee Morgan's version. But Lee's version swings so much harder. And I prefer it.

hahaah SWEEETT!! this is good music!! good old jazz man! love it! -vikesh

I agree! I thought of So What right away.

Remembering Freddie on his birthday, April 7, 1938.

! you cant spoil good music like this with rock !

Well I agree with you about Kenny G. Anybody who knows jazz knows he's one of the best.

Awesome clip. Great composition by Timmons. Great Freddie solo, but... Clifford Brown is the greatest trumpet player to ever live. Every note that he played had meaning and was perfect. I can't imagine that Mr. Hubbard would disagree.

All the tone for me

RIP FREDDIE

yeah!

ho yes!!

The album _Moanin_ was released 5 months before KoB! Wild, huh...

the lick at 1:14 is so coolllllll

o si esto es musica , i love this music

brilloent sound

definitely. i felt it around when curtis walks back up front, what with the double tongued stuff and all. Plenty of Freddie in there too though

genius

Players today cannot solo like this….

such a good fucking song...

yeh I've got all of the Miles records too, I think Miles' most fireball type playing is in that 69 era, the Festiva De Juan show especially, got to hear that. Love Miles too but Freddie, that was his thing, he was a flamethrower, high intensity like Trane. He made exciting jazz, music anyone could appreciate, really immediate and intense. Check out the Blakey record "Free For All", really killer trumpet all over that LP, my favorite Jazz Messengers disc by far. Freddie was the man.

The Art Blakey school of Hard Bop. Is there any great hard bop jazz musician besides Dizzy that didn't get their start in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Art was one of a kind!

If you want some classic Freddie, find the Rudy Van Gelder edition of the Jazz Messengers' Moanin' album, & fast forward to his solo on the alternate take of this track. 1st heard it in junior high, still gives me goosebumps.

In response to all the talk about planning ,licks etc....i like to think of it as a language (of course). But even in the way you plan and practice how to improvise. To speak, your learn how sentences are structured, you learn vocabulary, even things like tone of voice and delivery, but in the end what comes out of your mouth usually is spontaneous. Sometimes you paraphrase or perhaps even quote people directly but there is always the spontaneous element to speaking. Music is the same i think

everyone's nervous in front of crowds. professional musicians will be great at playing in front of anyone because it's how they earn a living.

Talk about having a groove when you play and ur talking about the king of groove himself, freddie hubbard!

May he find rest and play with Lee, Clifford, Miles, Kenny and all the others in jazzheaven.

For purity of sound, perfect chops, and incredible phrasing Booker Little was argueably the best, although he didn't cook as well as Brownie. Miles couldn't touch these two with ten foot flugel horn because he didn't have chops (he said so himself in his autobiography). What he had was moxie and a dominating presence that allowed him to innovate musical styles.

This is taken from the TV channel "RAI tre" which is in Italy! Interesting that they were showing this

damn quick fingers, hubbard has

These guys groove - check out the album Blakey album "Caravan"
