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.
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...
Oh, and the album WAS released, "Ride Like the Wind". We didn't release the video, but may do so. It was shown late night in UK on an educational channel.
+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.
+Jillian Ferguson You were so fortunate to be in the company of so many of the greatest cats on the West Coast..Bill Watrous, Bud Shank, Bill Mays, WOW
Well, you brought a tear to my eye! Yes, I wish I'd realized just how fortunate... incredible people & players. You're right, that was the video/VHS. So good, I wish we could release again, but tough times... thanks for your kinds words about dad... I adored him. Great man.
I don't think there was ever a lawsuit, but we would not have been involved in that because dad was not the original composer. He simply arranged the tune for this album. Chris Cross was the original songwriter.
There's nothing more magical than a live take and nailing it pretty much the first time, especially with a big band. Always loved this track too, and Freddie's playing/music.
"Jazz isn’t like pop, where you sell millions of records with a hit. Your spirit and soul aren’t important in pop music. But jazz is like classical music. If people like you, they’ll remember you and you’ll last forever.” Freddie Hubbard
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 model is awsome ... a beautiful horn...still one of the best...in speicial when they has been made by the old supreme hands of master Domenick Calicchio...
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.
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
:-))) scary story !! .. I know Freddie also in person....back in the 80ies...so friendly he was ..great guy and a true genius... but this champagne story is tough ! ..
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.

The only trumpeter who could afford the luxury of improvising the way he did in the middle of a dancing session...😂

Freddie Hubbard: Unrivalled virtuosity, unsurpassable artistry!!!

Freddie Nails it just like Christopher!!!

Maestro Freddie Hubbard. The king. Soul-sound-time. The real deal!

Today lacks talent & more importantly, SOUL !

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That lick at 3:09 is so good.
For me The Best play freddie
Damn Freddie is so fucking hip! So good
Blow Hub blow! With the exception of the great Lee Morgan, nobody played with more swagger in the history of the trumpet!
what about Clifford Brown?
@@daveundconnie1 More swagger? How about Maynard! :-)
Condition Alpha is my favorite off the live session!
Thanks...that was an original, composed by Allyn Ferguson, my papa. xx
Freddie!!!!!!
Top Shelf !!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Putting it where i can get it sockin soul
UA-cam, thanks for the recommendation ❤️
I was thinking this would be the McCoy Tyner tune, but I guess the title of that was “FLY WITH The Wind”
Nice nice nice 👍
the master blaster. was as smooth as silk.
@2:35 That was a tasty lick!
Sounds same as originally released LP but wonder why they chose to fade ? Chopped-out Hub's final screeches.
Tremendo trompetista!!!
¡El más grande de los grandes!
rick moranis aka michael mcdonald: 🎵🎵such a long way to goooooo!!🎵🎵🤣🤣

のりの薄さが逆に,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;///\\\\：,,、心地良い、、、、、。。。good
They only gave Bill Watrous 4 notes. Damn shame.
イイねーノリノリのハバード,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;///\\\\：,,、goodなポジション
Makes no sense requires a great Jazz musician to play this pop tune. Is like use an entire nuclear power plant to light a match.
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.
Wrong...
The NEXT MILES DAVIS!!!!!
Freddie's Miles beyond davis!!
Was the conductor pissed off with the ending?
Fabuolas superb FH the man.
Wow. Friday at the top of his game.
amazing
