Freddie Hubbard - Joy Spring

[ChristianW53]

I have been at this concert. First set : Phil Woods with Tom Harroll, first tune of 2nd set Freddie Hubbard solo with the rhythm section ( this tune), then Tom Harroll appeared and there came up one of the greatest trumpet "battles" I have ever seen. All that happened ~ 1988 in Hamburg, Fabrik. Phil didn´t play at the 2nd set anymore.

What's with Freddie's vibing at 0:06??

[Littlewhitelephant]

I'm simply not in the mood for Hubbard today.

A Player might be technically incredible, but yet ...

[Modes9]

I'm not interested in who "the best" is. I love Freddie's music...and also Charles Tolliver, Woody, Fats Navarro. I'm just glad there have been many greats who have given us amazing bodies of work to draw inspiration from.

@boxing1000 and woody shaw

[jesemus33]

My favorites all time....Louis, Dizzy, Clifford, Hubbard, Lee, Navarro, Terry,

[thomashood252003]

for me Clifford Brown will always be my favorite..........

[broosovelttt]

@thomashood252003 for me Chris Brown will always be my favorite..........not

[Miloshevits]

@kingoliver45 People on youtube have a tendency to say things like "(insert musician) is the best (instrument) player ever, nobody will ever be as good as him"

Freddie Hubbard was one of the best trumpeters ever, but there is a score of musicians that were also as talented as he was (Lee Morgan, to mention another trumpeter).

[iJiggsy]

Man, Freddie really kills this song. I'm jealous, and I'm a saxophone player (to some those things never interact).

But, the real props go to Clifford Brown. Hubbard made this his own, but nobody can touch the original, better or worse.

I remember when I first heard this song I tried to play it back for a friend on my horn. What sounded like this in my head sounded like a dying animal to my friend. 8 or 9 years later with all of that practice and I still haven't improved too much.

Incredible,

[boxing1000]

@kingoliver45 They were great players but could not compete with Freddys energy.Styles make fights as thes say;-)

[phourtay]

hahaha, you see freddie's face at :06 seconds? lol, he's got that "WTF" look...

[Baltzy24]

I betcha, if everyone listened to jazz, the world would be so much friendlier. Not smooth jazz, but the jazz greats, and those legendary albums. Its one thing to listen though, and another to actually understand.

[TheDanSebastian]

Holy crap!!! He tears those changes up like he's floating above the clouds of chords. He reminds me of a jet turbine!!! heheheh. Awesome video! thanks for posting.

[letsrunbike]

a meteoric talent

[jacquillo]

beautiful trumpet playing

[Modes9]

The time is always right to check out some Freddie or Woody Shaw stuff...

[1wayne12345]

WOW! what a treat! Thanks uploader. I played trumpet in school, I remember liking Freddie Hubbard, and this is why!

[scarfnerd]

I always feel like Freddie didn't get near the credit he deserved during his time.

[DUANESKEE]

Comparing HUBBARD to BROWN is like comparing JANET JACKSON to TONI BAXTON. Two different styles but i'd take either one on a cold night.

[littlebones18]

@DUANESKEE Your Dad was the man.

[malilacreuse]

cinq minutes passees c est long long quel coffre!! salut l artiste!!!

[astronomicato]

This is fuckin baddddd....Master Clifford song,,,this is the stufffff...thanks for posting....yeah

[oelon]

Its that a mistake that the piano player does on the intro??? Freddie even looks at him ,,, right there on the sixth second...

[Bergunthera]

@oelon Nah, it's the drummer picking a bad time to mix things up on the hi-hat

[zonker33]

where's phil?

[TrumpetRed114]

0_0 wow what a monster......

[3584817]

Great Freddie!!!

[kwena7]

pure joy!

[vastusinternus]

I love what Freddie does with that horn!

[altosaxbeboper09]

bill goodwin is fuckin swingin. the lead out of freddie's solo is fuckin ridiculous. plus freddie's a fuckin monster.. is ther the rest of this video????

[adeduction]

@Modes9 - (Guess what? I just found out that Youtube edits our comments - I guess to make them be more to their liking - just like the 'editors' at the NYTimes 'edit' rearragne their reporters reports. However, it seems the world is going down hill fast anyway regardless if Youtube edits or doesn't edit our comments so they might as well edit them right?) Anyways why do you & how can you prefer Shaw over Hubbard? Navarro - I think I've heard maybe one record of his so...

[stopthrm]

Could play this...

[meirrose]

Oh Freddie! I miss you so much! You are so great! I have worshiped you since I was 17 years old. I am 63 now and I still worship you!

[NetMoDM]

When was this recorded? Freddie playing Clifford - two of the best to ever play trumpet!!

[adeduction]

Hubbard is, like Clifford Brown one of the greatest trumpet players of all time & he was a full fledged musical genius like Clifford was at only 24 years of age. In fact from 4'20 on when the drummer starts diggin' in with Freddie, they start reminding me of how Max Roach & Clifford used to 'get it on'. Check out how great he was Bill Evan's 'Interplay' recorded in 1962. It's a perfect album, every Hubbard solo is a flawless gem - he was like Miles & Clifford.

[Modes9]

@adeduction My three favorites are still Woody Shaw, Freddie, and Fats Navarro...pretty much in that order.

[spikedude001]

lol love the look freddie gave the pianist when he fucked up the intro!

[joshua92931]

@spikedude001 I know! i noticed that too lol

[ksenos69]

An endless joy spring of music. Gand Maestro.

[bobd0]

No intent to inflame, Freddie is without question one of the all time greats, but I like Clifford's version much better. Clifford, Max, and Co. get the tune just right. They swing it the way it was meant to be swung. "Joy Spring", like a pair of fine pruning sheers, not an axe. :)

More isn't better. Freddie doesn't take Clifford to the next level, Freddie takes Clifford over the top.

Just my unsolicited two cents as heard through my two ears. Your ears may (and quite likely do) vary.

[JazzPadawan0213]

@bobd0 I completely agree! Yes Freddie is an amazing player, but he's not playing the tune the way it was meant to be played. His time, feel, articulation, musical ideas, tone... everything is just in your face. He's still got nothing on Clifford in my opinion.

[Tedmund13]

Does anyone have the rest of this video? It seems like there's a couple more solos after the fantastic Mr. Hubbard takes a spin. Maybe Phil Woods?

[AhnuhMi404]

I love Freddie...but he is NO clifford brown...he went crazy in this song....

[deepfriedpankakes]

He's a little shaky at the beginning but once he gets rollin' there's nothing you could do to stop him!

[louispippie]

WOOOW, Stunningly wonderful playing, a little long and runs out of steam towards the end but this really is unbelievable palying of the highest level.... RIP Freddie

[jhg123456]

can the poster of this video turn off the comments? this is sum of the dumbest shit ive read in a while.

[jckeyz]

When did Mr. Hubbard pass away?

[ladytrumpet010]

Another one of the best beside lee Morgan this is a bad dude...that second line he played was bad....

[orjazzmicintentions]

Freddie Hubbard king of shred!

I think that he skipped his warmup for this one.

[micahj]

@orjazzmicintentions... I hope you say that based on the fact that he almost never warmed up, and not because you think a warmup would help you play half as nasty as Freddie ;-)

[orjazzmicintentions]

Hey Micah. I appreciate the cool comment. I watch Freddie's vids everyday. If I played a quarter as nasty as Freddie I'd be playing better than half the cats on the scene today. Playing half as badass as Freddie is something I can only dream about!

[londonchops67]

What tf are you on about? Lets hear you play then? Freddie Hubbard took the lyricism, melody and fire from Clifford Brown onto the nest level. Do you seriously have ears??????????

[orjazzmicintentions]

Well londonchops, since you asked...First off I'm not big on this youtube confrontation thing. Your user name indicates that you must be some sort of brass player. I myself play trumpet. I meant in no way to criticize Freddie, he is my favorite player of all time and his solo was hot. However any brass player knows what its like to skip your warmup and I was just responding to comments of shakiness at the offset. Freddie admitted this much himself. But no need for hateful comments, ok?

[jlevinson6]

are you kidding? He plays amazingly!!!! He was a bit uncomfortable at the outset but once he got going he was killin'.

[HADJEE]

It sounds like he wasn't practicing much.

[jhg123456]

shut the fuck u faggot u have no idea wut ure talking about go suk out someone's booty hole

[bossface009]

good, but bad for freddie hubbard, and no where close clifford browns joy spring

[meirrose]

Freddie is the great master of jazz trumpet playing. Period.

[therockhopper]

splat city.

[mcmullr]

Re: Someone doesn't want to get the name right .The name is "joy of spring"

[NoRosesForMe]

Wow. Havent heard Hubbard in a while. Awesome stuff! 5 big ***** thanks! =)))

[BrunoJazzmanLeicht]

Well, oh well ... it's quite okay, but too much show for my taste. Sorry, but I don't like that solo. He's playing great, okay, technically, but there's something missing, musically spoken. Freddie did something here, he later bitterly regretted: he over-blew, forced it.

[Weekyl]

There is nothing missing here. Must be you.

[territorywar]

Dont criticize. Freddie is the best!

[billroue]

@BrunoJazzmanLeicht Isort of agree but I think the piano player was making Freddie work harder than necessary. I did not feel comfortable listening to his comping. I've heard better back up groups.

[billroue]

@BrunoJazzmanLeicht Ihave to add that the bass player ails to keep a bottom to the group. Makes it hard for the solist.

[BrunoJazzmanLeicht]

@billroue -- Yeah, you're of course right. What I don't like are too many disruptions from the rhythm section. They are meant to support the player, but not too seldom are they destroying the flow of a solo. I love a cool, steady beat behind me. Nothing against rhythmic communication, but then two sided, and not one way.

[Bergunthera]

@BrunoJazzmanLeicht Yea, I don't like the way he presumes to play his own thing for the first 8 bars of the initial head. It's disrespectful. Call me old-fashioned, but I like to hear the actual tune the guy wrote, or perhaps an embellishment, at least the very first time round. But then I get the impression Freddie was a little confused about when he was coming in and just started blowing.

Thank you very much for sharing this video with me.... It's very nice and freddie Hubbard is incredible.

[erwigfilms]

Hello King Oliver: Freddie was an incredible musician, maybe unappreciated by the trad people and musicians, but I start to appreciate him better every time I see him

Thanks for this recent postings

Bob

[kingoliver45]

Thank you for the very true comment. I have more than certainly widened my musical appreciation and this is a prime example of what I'm on to. You know I used to dig nothin but trad new Orleans and swing.
