Freddy could play anything he always gave 110% . No one could surpass his feeling and his skill level. A true legend. I saw him at The Jazz Workshop in Boston and he played with total intensity for 2 hours straight.His ballad playing would bring tears to your eyes. He mastered that Getzen Flugelhorn like it was part of his body.

"All the trumpet players in the '70s, you can hear Freddie Hubbard's sound and everything worth playing, He's such a phenomenal trumpet player - just the largeness of his sound, the velocity and the swing". Wynton Marsalis

Many of the trumpet players in the 70s played from the ankles up. Big horns and wide open mouthpieces. The big fat sound exploded from the horns. Because of technology and not having to play so loud in the 70s type bands the style has definitely changed.

wow. one of my faves, the great Freddy Hubbard. wow, great band, great tune.
To: "Horus Curcino" and "thiscocks" - That's not at all what happened at end of tune. My father, Allyn Ferguson, conductor & arranger, was paying 'homage' to the players, by pointing & giving them credit, because they had done a great job, something he often did. He had very much respect for the musicians on his sessions. Remember, there were NO overdubs...the sessions were 'live', direct to disc, no edits; whatever they played was recorded & released untouched. I was associate producer on the video...great times. Dad always had great fun with the players, and most were good friends, as well. Several of the same musicians played on many of his other sessions. The other trumpet players are Chuck Findley, Gary Grant; Vince DeRosa (horn); Tommy Johnson (tuba); Bill Watrous (trombone); Bill Perkins (tenor); Bud Shank (alto); Bob Tricarico (baritone). Rhythm Section: Dan Ferguson (guitar); Abe Laboriel (Bass); Bill Mays (piano); Bill Maxwell (drums); Joe Porcaro (percussion). Such fun & talent! I miss the people & those days...

Jillian Ferguson if only music like this existed today ...sadly this golden era will never return but with videos like this and with the warner Elektra re-releases of late hopefully there will always be an interest and love for this music but airplay has to maintain this too .... I am in the U.K I am 38 years old and I know all the names from your Father to Dave Grusin Ritenour Graydon the list is endless !! my collection is anything from Mel Torme to Sergio Mendes ...you don't get the session players anymore but then again you don't get great music anymore .... I am always on the look out for someone young up and coming who can release something on this level .. funny enough Concord Records are releasing some good albums in the next month or so !! ciao for now Maurizio

+Jillian Ferguson I had a video on VHS of this session as shown here AND the LP on Elektra. Hearing this makes me wish Freddie had done MORE in the big band setting it is so good a match for his sound. Thank you for all of your contribution re the legacy of your father, one of the great all around musicians.

Something so lovely about this video. People just having a good time doing what they love. It all sounds and looks so natural. No posing or forcing. Marvelous!
This is a gorgeous piece. I really dig the vintage sound. I don't know why, but there is just something here that is lacking in modern music. Even if this was played today, the sound wouldn't be the same.

The conductor is (was) Allyn Ferguson-he wrote & arranged this project-yea-at the end he does say a few words to either Chuck Findley or Gary Grant...nothing all that important-no mistake at 5:08 I could detect. This SHOULD be re-issued on DVD-it was a double header back to back recording project (two days) and was a bitch because it was done Live w/o stops and digital in June 1981. Chuck Findley is playing lead (as usual) and sounds great-it was Gary Grant's birthday and Chuck offered to cover ALL the lead for Gary as a present-afterwards Chuck, Gary & Freddie went to Martino's (famous Hollywood Italian restaurant now closed) and Freddie ordered 4 bottles of expensive champagne to celebrate-at one point Freddie skipped out leaving Chuck & Gary to pay the bill...true story

Knew Dominic and worked in his shop for a time being a gopher and cleaning the place. He gave me the job because I was a starving trumpet player looking for a steady gig. My friends and I out of love for him called him Geppetto after the guy in the movie that made Pinocchio. He was a gentleman and had a great sense of humor. Still have two of his horns he made and a mouthpiece. He was a master craftsman.

Near end, the conductor call the 2nd trumpet player (front of him) to pay attention by his 5:08 mistake. All the music after this wasn't released on album version only by this wrong note.
