That may be the best Freddie Hubbard solo I've ever heard. When my daughter was an infant, she literally turned her head while feeding from a bottle when she heard this solo when this Blue Note special was on HBO. Later when Cassandra Wilson came on and started singing, she crapped her diaper. True Story!
Post bop jazz does not get any better than this. This is a performance to cherish. Everyone is on top of their game. The solo work, the ensemble work--all perfect!
«Jazz is Freedom. You think about that.» T. Monk Freddie Hubbard, one of the last Jazz legends, died one day after my 15th birthday. The day when he died I was watching an interview of him and this solo on «Blue Note - A Story of modern Jazz» and I thought: «This is an historical Solo for the Jazz». Rest in Peace Freddie.
We are SO lucky that this amazing moment in musical history was captured on audio and video. Absolutely mind blowing playing by everyone on the stage--and FREDDIE, dear lord! Hearing solos like this, it's no suprise why Hub went down in history as the Don of the modern jazz trumpet (to coin a phrase by my friend Maurice Brown). Hopefully Herbie and Ron will have many healthy and happy years ahead of them. RIP Freddie, Joe, and Tony--your many musical contributions will never be forgotten!
i love jazz i think that jazz will never die as a musical style. but whats sad is that now most of our youth dousn't listen to this special kind of music. for all i know lil' wayne can be gone tomorrow but jazz stays forever. i think our youth needs to listen to more jazz and keep the fire burning.
i've heard this song all over the place as far back as i can remember but i never knew who wrote it. man, we owe the jazz world our gratitude. to do less than honour these geniuses and their work is to do a disservice to american culture and humanity as a whole
i agree. its good. this video nearly convinced me that freddie hubbard was the greatest trumpet ever. rest in peace freddie. we miss your spirit and you will never be forgotten.
I've watched this video on youtube almost every time im online. and every single time i say to myself that this is the best video i have ever witnessed by far. this is jazz and what every artist should strive for, though no one can do it like these guys
When Freddie takes off on his solo, it's like a rocket launch. He is so hot, his horn is smoking. How he does it wearing a suit and tie is beyond me. This really cooks!! Thanks again.
Wait! Hold the phone! Damn I've been listening to this version now about umpteen times and now marveling at how that mutha**f**g Hancock switches from basic melodic structure of noting to chording and tempo shifting and all in perfect counterbalance to Hubbard's masterful swinging trumpet, pounding out a beautiful rendition that hits so many strides, I cannot keep up or find my stumbling listening skills twirling and almost giving up. HANCOCK just continues to demonstrate he is not human, a fallen angel sent to give us a glimpse of the Empyrean Realm, allowing us to swim in those sacred waters!!! Damn!!!! God Bless Him!!! God Bless Ron Hubbard, Tony Williams, Ron Carter, et al for moving into our world for a brief time to bring utter joy!
Whenever I listen to this song, I have to close my eyes, bob my head, and go on the journey to Canteloupe Island with Herbie and the crew. It ain't always the same ride, but its always a good one. Kudos to Hubbard and Henderson for the solo work! esp. Hubbard... good Lord, man! You blowin that thing!
Great solo from the great Freddie Hubbard (1938-2008): notice how much blues is in his playing here and how soulful. A lot of younger cats could learn from that. Also he switches it up from chromatic passages to more tuneful ones.
I never listen to jazz but this is so cool. A lot of my favorite Japanese visual kei rock bands incorporate jazzy and rock n roll elements into hard rock. So it’s nice to see a song of that genre that’s this amazing. They KILLED it, especially the keyboardist and drummer
Thank you so much for sharing this. Another uploader had shared a clearer version. Yet, the ending of their upload was cut off. This performance is quite a joy to listen to.
essa musica eu via cortada no comercial da mtv,o mtv nuh! busquei em vários lugares até conseguir por meio de pistas que fui encontrando... muito legal mesmo esse video...
Every jazz trumpeter, student or otherwise, owes him a debt, there was no one he didn't influence with his technique, his soul, his style, his sound.. there was no style of music he couldn't play, I am stunned tonight.
Joe Henderson! ese sonido único de Sax! Genial SOLO! no se me olvida también el gran solo con Horace Silver en "Song for my father", grande entre grandes como Freddie Hubbard y Herbie Hancock, maestros e ingenios pioneros del mejor sonido del Jazz.

I had the pleasure of playing with Herbie and composing a song for Freddie. These cats are legends indeed!
Joe Henderson approaches his solo in an amazing number of ways, deconstructs the harmony, the modal approach. He was a giant.
What a man! Just hits the double C in the middle of the solo without breaking a sweat.. Freddie's got crazy skills..
Vegas Holum yes Freddie did have crazy skills ...but it cost him very dear 😪😪😪😪

This live version of Cantaloupe Island is the BEST!
Herbie plays the piano so funky.
The other musicians also are great.
The best performance of this classic piece I've ever found on UA-cam :)
L'un des plus beaux morceaux de jazz que je connaisse; souvenirs souvenirs ... d'une lointaine jeunesse
how can someone dislike this wonderful video? If Bach was alive, he would be probably jammin' with these legendary jazzers
This is pure music. People like me sought this music in New York. We dug deep and hard and found it.
I love the way Ron just eases into those notes. What a groove.
Cuando no sé que escuchar, recurro a esta maravilla. Y la vida se ve de otra manera.
Post bop jazz does not get any better than this. This is a performance to cherish. Everyone is on top of their game. The solo work, the ensemble work--all perfect!
The 4 original musicians plus the great Joe Henderson on a serious classic! Don't get no better!

Questa si che é una esecuzione strumentale, senza basi e trucchi di computers, Grande.

Bye Freddie! All jazzmen will never forget this, your legendary solo! Tell to Tony that we miss him too!!
That trumpet solo was great. I really love the groove to this song.
That's a great song. We're playing it in our middle school jazz band.
+Eric Huang same
Omg what school do you go to? I know a lot of jazzbands use this song but it might be the same one
+Eric Huang Austin waldorf school tx, you?
Alfred Madere Oh nvm I go to a school in Cherry Hill, NJ.
+Eric Huang haha ok
Damn, the trumpet solo is pure electric energy. I love this noise.
i agree. its good. this video nearly convinced me that freddie hubbard was the greatest trumpet ever. rest in peace freddie. we miss your spirit and you will never be forgotten.
The title number recalls an essence of wonderful flavor. A quite good feeling!

Herbie is one of the greatest...fabulous tune and incredible playing!!!

man, what a groove, so tight and yet so loose, GENIUS.
Whenever I listen to this song, I have to close my eyes, bob my head, and go on the journey to Canteloupe Island with Herbie and the crew. It ain't always the same ride, but its always a good one. Kudos to Hubbard and Henderson for the solo work! esp. Hubbard... good Lord, man! You blowin that thing!
herbies comping towards the end is incredible, so is hubbards solo, and hendersons AHHH its just incredible!

How many rithms..........i like this Trumpet player.
Thanks for posting it
Figured that was Freddie Hubbard. What an amazing performance! All of them have unbelievable chops! Thanks for posting!
Simply outstanding!
I like how Herbie plays C#'s over the D minor. And yet it still sounds good. I'm thinking in concert key here for everyone's sake.
this tune,take five,love supreme,and so what(kind of blue album) got me into jazz...never gets old
This is my favorite version of this song. This is a group of Blue Note All Stars recorded in 1987.
vraiment , merci pour ce bouquet d'artistes; genial
A great tune to blow on for learners and pros alike. Freddie is a pro!
Superb sound.....fabulous muscians.....great jazz standard beautifully played....fantastic....

Yes yes Herbie and Co. Beautiful sounds!
Excellent talent, could listen to them all day.
I love this song! A fun, easy groove on bass, but a great piece for a big band jazz ensemble!
Freddie!! Hub you were the man. Thanks wherever you are!
Every time I watch this I enjoy it immensely.
Fabulosa performance! El solo de Freddie... simplemente genial!!!!
Monica Leston Así es Moni... un verdadero lujo!
this is the best solo trompet that i ever heared in my whole life...
Great solo from the great Freddie Hubbard (1938-2008): notice how much blues is in his playing here and how soulful. A lot of younger cats could learn from that. Also he switches it up from chromatic passages to more tuneful ones.
This and watermelon man, best two songs ever to improvise to. Me and my friends go at it for hours.
Great playing!!! what a line up!!
I never listen to jazz but this is so cool. A lot of my favorite Japanese visual kei rock bands incorporate jazzy and rock n roll elements into hard rock. So it’s nice to see a song of that genre that’s this amazing. They KILLED it, especially the keyboardist and drummer
it seems absurd to say such a thing, but that is the most amazing trumpet solo of all time.
Dude, this is my favorite versoin of this song..
One of my Favorite solos, I wish this was on CD.
Simply Masterful. thanks for the post.. wow!
i thrashed this concert on video ,so good to find it again! thanks for uploading
Chega a arrepiar os pelinhos da orelha, véio!!!! Maravilha!!!!
Awesome music. As I never have been heared before. I like mainly the starting. Great.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Another uploader had shared a clearer version. Yet, the ending of their upload was cut off. This performance is quite a joy to listen to.
I wouldn't put quite that way, but your appreciation of his talent is definitely shared by me.
essa musica eu via cortada no comercial da mtv,o mtv nuh!

Breathtaking!...Amazing!..Love it!

increible, todo una delicia de jazz. Gracias.
I think i may be addicted 2 Joe Hendersons solo.
I shall never be able to find an adjective powerful enough to describe this masterpiece and the genius who wrote it
This is possibly my favourite video on UA-cam.
just gotta LOVE that piano!!!
Amoooo... Tocar essa música é muito bom!
this song and version are amazing
BURNING!!!!
man, I favorited this years ago. I forgot how insane the personnel and the entire performance is on this one.
This is a true inspiration to jazz players and jammers everywhere.
Classic! The best version, thanks
This is a classic for sure. Guy really knew how to pick the "right" notes.
Timeless Groove Band that never grows old as far as I'm concerned
Brillantes!!!!! Freddie qué maestro!!!!!!!!!!
tell curtis mayfield that ;) rest in peace mr hubbard.. thanks for the great music.
Omg. I love you Freddie. And your power stance =)
I love it! What a genius combination.
we played this song in my jazz band at school. Its pretty nice.
Mr. Hancock, you're the Greatest!
essa música me arrepia... ela é demais!!
my vote for greatest recorded trumpet solo on planet earth.
Had to play this at school. This one is so better.
Freddie's solo is completely nuts! I also think the closing is nice.
This is awesome. Thanks for posting.
Listening to learn jazz style, and this is just the thing!
Damn, Freddy givin' it to that trumpet like it's his prom date!
pure magic comes out of those fingers Herbie!
This is what I call GOOD MUSIC
...as the greatest UNDERSTATEMENT of all time....Karen you're okay, just teasing you...a little bit.
once in a while I always come back here :D
