Freddie is ripping out the most unreal pocket of notes..........and the deepest cat Joe is in the background praying??? God Gawd how intense of a scene is that?? Man!! Thanks for posting this.... It blows me away everything I watch it.......

Times never change - Freddie Hubbard tears it up just as much as he does on the album, he's far too underrated.

i love when Joe Henderson starts praying at the end of Freddie's solo. Such a spiritual being man...

I was checking out Joe Henderson during Freddie's great solo, it looks like he was praising God too! Imagine being in the midst of that great moment of music-making!

Damn!!!! This video is FANTASTIC!!! God Bless them all!!!

Freddie, the greatest !!!

One of the best things any time Hubbard and Henderson shared scenarios is to watch the way they enjoyed each other’s playing

In memorian Tony Williams and Freddie Hubbard god bless they !!

Before the lip problem Freddie Hubbard was quite simply the best trumpeter. He could be fiery and then tender, tuneful and chromatic. Notice the energy of the motific development phrasing

Freddie,Herbie & Joe pure magic !

I only wish I was around at times like this to see this many greats on stage at once. I would give a million bucks to travel back to this day!!!!!

Thank Goodness for uTube and Jazz Fans!! How fantastic to have these videos now!

Freddie held it down through the 1970s, along with Herbie and Joe while Miles was on hiatus... This is still hauntingly beautiful, despite the video quality.

RIP Freddie, a true jazz innovator

No words can express the extreme degree of genius present in this video.

thankyou lawd thankyou....i'll never run out of inspiration , looking and listening to this . i pray that i'm able to play with the truth of the memory of why this expression of jazz is so intense in the first place...... ohhh .......maiden voyage....and everything leading up to this moment from the top of mt fuji, all throughout the ghettos of oakland, new orleans , detroit ect. just wow...

herbie was just incredible, tony williams as well, great musicians. simply inspiring

Every ounce of this performance is beyond divine. But what really makes it special, is the audience. They hung on to every note and cheered them on with enthusiastic reverence .... treating them like the heroic megastars that they truly are.

What cool about this performance, is that everyone on stage (except for Joe Henderson) was on the original recording of Maiden Voyage w/Herbie.

An outstanding composition, recording and implementation of all of the sounds, music and instruments, of a timeless classic in jazz. Freddie Hubbard is wonderful, Joe is awesome, Herbie provides that structure to and that style to the song. The drummer has artistic qualities and he keeps drumming without missing or losing his place in the song. A blend of music that is a treasure trove in contemporary times. Thanks for the post

Freddie Hubbard, jazzmen is one of my favorites, I have several LPs. of vinyl touching when younger, thanks, a hug from Peru South America.

Aside from being jazz greats, these guys are also jazz Legends. Just listen and you'll see why......

those are shots of boats- depicting the theme of the tune "Maiden Voyage" like a ship....on it's first trip think about it

Me and Joe understand that this music reaches the heavens

How grand. One of my all time favorites. Thx for posting.

I've watched this a hundred times... so fortunate to have seen all these guys through the 70's and on. All of them architypal monsters on their axes and composers that added much weight to the 'book'. I would like to think that if I was standing in front of Tony and Ron Carter... Herbie... I'd would have to burn through a couple choruses too... heh, heh... yeah, dream on, but such a great clip!

This is what music is all about! every one is really enjoying themselves good stuff

thank you whoever you are that put this here - god how i needed that

Ahhhh sh*t this is beautiful Freddie & Herbie true legends !

This is truly amazing. Whoever captured this event needs to be rewarded handsomely.You can't get any better than this today! Freddie,Herbie,Ron,Joe & Tony doin it to the 10th power!!

Joe Henderson has inspired me so many times because he is very fluid....you know it's him and he trills, thrills and fills the space with his identifiable tone and personality. Freddie Hubbard v is for virtuoso...Modal music at its finest..ala Herbie...Tony Williams strategically places thunder and hits to move the music forward...while Mr. Ron Carter holds the rhythm and Bass is place...time is everything

I have to admit that this was Herbie's best years though. After/During the 80's the stuff that was released did nothing for me except force me to start Break Dancing on command... His days with Miles and on Maiden Voyage were among my all time favorite Herbie years. He is still a phenomenal player however.

I love Joe Henderson praying in the background. Imagine following that solo by Freddie. Henderson, of course, is one of the greatest, but I'd be praying, too!!

Thanks for posting this. I had the pleasure of being on stage in the wings at this historic moment. Fond memories of my interviews with Herbie, Joe and the mad man, Freddie Hubbard. He's a crazy Cat...in a complimentary sense. The Mt. Fuji Jazz series was a world class event filled with aaaawesome moments and performances like this one. What a great three day outing it was. Chilling in the shadows of Mt. Fuji and enjoying the beautiful surrounding lakes with food, drinks and Jazz. Thanks again!

That' drummer omg mixed with Freddie wowwwwww

This a very timely production of live music that can't duplicated or imitated because of the "gel", spirituality and intense professionalism these artist demonstrated that day. If you could imagine Michelangelo painting the sis-teen chapel on his off day... Tony & Herbie are keeping it together for Freddie & Joe to perform...

Thank You!! I love this. especially LIVE.

So so good!

Freddie's solo is a trip around the Sun with orbits around the inner planets of Mercury, Venus, Earth, And Mars. Joe's solo, however, is trip through the Asteroid Belt to the outer planets of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and then out to deep space. And Herbie's solo takes us completely out of the solar system toward interstellar space.

freddie is killin as always, but man, joe is absolutely insane

The entire crew phenomenon

Joe's solo... Woooooo!

beautiful scene and beautiful sounds followed by Joehen, unique'est' soloist.

R I P Freddie 12/29/2008

yes, it truly is a must-have

Thanks for the Music.

We're kindred spirits! Peace and love from Germany/Australia.

love this album love freddie and joe henderson together Freddie trumpet playing is insane miles freddie and wynton are my favs

No Words can say ...there is THE MUSIC """""""

mama must be proud of joe henderson and bill russell. two greats from one roof

So thrilling.......... more like ecstatic! RIP Freddie - you'll charm the angels.

Herbie was a Monk follower ... and Amazing player. With this Dream Team ? Well ... Nothing to say ... nothing to do ...

Balls. These guys have (had) balls...

the dream team

Freddie Hubbard one of the baddest men on trumpet. Commit all sorts of capital offences on his horn. Just nasty.

Judging by his cool composure I'd say it's unlikely Joe Hen was high on anything but the moment! He seemed blessed to be in the midst of all that musical greatness....

PURE GENIUS!!! ENTIRE LINEUP!

Herbie Hancock. Genius. I've been listening to him all my life. I'm only 16.

The 1st jazz tune I ever learned...awesome!

Joe Henderson literally communing with the Divine at 4.12 !! :D

Calicchio, I believe. He was one of their Artists for quite some time ~

Play those dirty notes Herbie!!!

pleas post a second part of this video so we'll get to here herbie plays. +if you any more of that groop/ any other joe hendersones i'll apreaciate if you'll post them too..

Reverence for beautiful playing!!!!

this is awesome i wish you could post the entire concert in ten minute increments, i am spell bound,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

For my class I'm transcribing this song. I love the melody and changes. I'm just going to toy with the rhythm to sound more like Bachata. It's for my Humanities class. We're studding art during the Trujillo age in D.R.

Jazz at it's greatest !

superb

before anybody tries to correct me i want to say - yes, i know its herbies band... i just put the two main soloists names on the title because poor herbies solo goes well past the 10 minute mark... enjoy!

Every tree has it's roots

Beautiful

Thanks! Love it!

INCREIBLE !!!!! miren a Joe rezar

Man, once again, I am happy to exend my warm thanks to you for sharing this gem .Where do you get this bad shit ?

This can be the VSOP Mark II. God knows I’m a big Wayne Shorter’s fan but Henderson is second to none.

"Also with Herbie Hancock" heh

Yes. This is genius. Oh man, awesome!!!

cool!! Thanks..

@PhiberOptik001 PRETTY GOOD?!?!?!?!?!?!? You call Tony Williams, just PRETTY good! Pshhhhh, hahahahaha! I would not ever use pretty good with any of these. Genius is an understatement!

Freddie was 70 :(

WHY WHY,I Just want to know WHY! BECAUSE This is MUSIC!

Joe!!!!

Wonderful! :-)

perfect!

How BAD is Ron Carter? Baddest in the biz.

Everything good is watchable from VHS.

Also this is the FIRST FUSION TUNE…..before electric axes became the norm.

o show dele foi louco... muito louco...

yo this shit slaps

It's not easy to eclipse Fuji but these guys were transported by Divine Fire! Monsters all.

eatsleeptrumpet..hey,,man no need to apologise at all,,true stuf here, when herbie released this of course we all knew the level of trip we about to make as with all of of his offerings,and to never slight the men who chose to be with him.some tidy company you keepin,,,hope you get there fast man.oh yea,mulgrew is a homeboy being from easton pa,as me,peace &love man...

Great American Artists playing music that gives to the world, bring the jazz back Obama make them your cultural ambassadors, now you have future Detroit and Chicago house New york Hip Hop, spread the love not the bullets dear USA

Yeah it is, but we'll miss him, and it says on the back of Born to be Blue that Freddie was gonna record the most albums that anyone has done ever. Does anyone know if he has don it?

Hello God ... is this you speaking to us? I think so.
