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.
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.
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 + 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!
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!!!
@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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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!
daynelmarzo, I´ve listened to both 'so what' and 'moanin' throughout the years and I do think they have similar structures and melody. of course they aren´t identical and have their own charm, but hell yeah, they´re quite similar.
I listened to our new video at "number1trumpet" again and I think you might be right. Maybe we should have practiced more before putting those songs on the internet. I've got a feeling you'll like our older stuff better here at "number1saxophone".
@daynelmarzo Hey man! Everyone gets angry--it happens... ...Bless you my man. Bless you.I've heard a nasty rumor that Miles Davis could get angry too! LOL! Swing hard and bop till you drop dude...too cool.
HAHA!!! are you kidding? horace left this band in 1956 and began recording with his own group - never to return. this IS Cedar. i have this video and you can tell in larger size. ...not to mention the fact that there were at LEAST two pianists in between horace and cedar: sam dockery, and bobby timmons.
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.
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 Hubbard is one of the most influential trumpeter in jazz history.
Freddie was one of the greatest improvisers of our time! RIP
Freddie has that fire like Dizzy🎺🎶😎
But with a Fats N sound
The young lion! Freddie was killin it
This will survive time, it will be just as cool as it is now in a million years!

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.
Rest In Peace, Freddie... this video is classic.
amazingly, all the horn line from this generation of the messengers are all still kickin it
Freddy's definitely on fire in this video.
this is one of the funnest songs to jam to... period.
Hello Lizzie

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

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

Now THIS is good music.
Freddie is COOKIN' on this tune.
Amazing! Freddie Hubbard was only 24 years old!
May 'ol Freddie rest in peace.

I was looking for the Lambert, Hendriks and Ross version but discovered this gem instead. Thanks for posting.
Woo! Freddie is a bad boy!
Hell of a trumpet!!!

-vikesh
thumbs up if ur here because u already knew about this song long before the American Idol singers did it
Freddie Hubbard can be found on an all time great Morning Sun by Alphonse Mouzon... Freddie RIP
Just Amazing
daam he jumped into his solo like he was runing from the law
Freddy's a badass. I've never seen him with a mustache, though...
The album _Moanin_ was released 5 months before KoB! Wild, huh...
I agree! I thought of So What right away.
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.
Remembering Freddie on his birthday, April 7, 1938.
Um dos mestres do trompete...
Nice for dancing too.
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.

RIP FREDDIE
agree. lets just enjoy it.
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.

This is taken from the TV channel "RAI tre" which is in Italy! Interesting that they were showing this
Well I agree with you about Kenny G. Anybody who knows jazz knows he's one of the best.
What about the rest of the vid? man!!
daynelmarzo, I´ve listened to both 'so what' and 'moanin' throughout the years and I do think they have similar structures and melody.
of course they aren´t identical and have their own charm, but hell yeah, they´re quite similar.
o si esto es musica , i love this music
I listened to our new video at "number1trumpet" again and I think you might be right. Maybe we should have practiced more before putting those songs on the internet. I've got a feeling you'll like our older stuff better here at "number1saxophone".
All the tone for me
Talk about having a groove when you play and ur talking about the king of groove himself, freddie hubbard!
@daynelmarzo Hey man! Everyone gets angry--it happens...
...Bless you my man. Bless you.I've heard a nasty rumor that Miles Davis could get angry too! LOL!
Swing hard and bop till you drop dude...too cool.
yeah!
the lick at 1:14 is so coolllllll
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
These guys groove - check out the album Blakey album "Caravan"
@michalskij
I've got no idea of who kenny G and the others are....obviously here for Art and the Jazz Messengers....
It's actually Moanin by Bobby Timmons.
26 people weren't hugged enough as a child.
technically this is tougher than Lee Morgan's version. But Lee's version swings so much harder. And I prefer it.
May he find rest and play with Lee, Clifford, Miles, Kenny and all the others in jazzheaven.
HAHA!!! are you kidding? horace left this band in 1956 and began recording with his own group - never to return. this IS Cedar. i have this video and you can tell in larger size. ...not to mention the fact that there were at LEAST two pianists in between horace and cedar: sam dockery, and bobby timmons.
brilloent sound
ART BLAKEY'S A PIMP!!!
He was only 24? Wow makes me wonder what I'm doing with my horn.
