My Main Man Freddie Hubbard . This Brother Blows his horn with gusto, the cats playing with him are equally excellent cats . Masters of the craft. Thank you so much for posting this GEM. Peace!
I love the studio version, but this live version just blows me away. The quality and intensity of the entire band is breathtaking. Special shout out to the saxophonist and drummer.

The first time I heard this was on the Harry Abraham's show(The Best of All Possible Worlds) out of Rochester, New York back in the seventies. The best jazz show ever. I prefer this version to the studio version with George Benson (g) and Jack Dejohnette (d) among others. Everyone plays like there is no tomorrow on this version, especially the drummer.
I actually like both versions. The CTI recording is a lot more laid back. You can listen to it when you want to calm down from a long day or when you want to cuddle with someone special. This version is more intense and the musicians all play with lots of passion, intensity, and depth. Junior Cook almost sounds as if he wants to put down his tenor and let out a primal scream.
Virtuosity+Harmonic/Melodic Mastery=Technical Arrogance. Freddie is a one of ONE!!!

Once you acquaint yourself with Freddie Hubbard playing style every composition by him becomes obvious.
Very powerful recording of a great composition. Great playing all around. Freddie holidng nothing back. Wonderful!
Junior Cook is an excellent complement on tenor. A bit like Joe Henderson on the studio version of "Red Clay."
I wish I were in the audience when this was recorded live……. I would have ran on stage and embraced Freddie as if he were my Lover…
Thats what I did JazzE

Unbelievable...I've never missed the early 70's more...now I wanna visit Hamburg...Freddie Hubbard is a force of musical nature!
Bravissimo !!!!! Thanks. Rio de Janeiro. Brasil
One of all time all time favorites!
Great sound quality and performance.
In-fuckin'-sane! Freddy burns it up, they all do!
The Great Freddie Hubbard !!!
Great to hear a George Cables solo on this tune! Everybody plays their ass off.
Yeah. Cables samples "I'll Never Go Back to Georgia" briefly. Junior Cook sounds like who was strapped down and screaming for freedom!
@@KSmall109CAB Quotes*. Yeah, I picked up on that too.
That was amazing
