Man. Freddie is a class act here. I like how he's supportive of the other musicians. I was fortunate to see him this very same year, 1987, in Ft. Worth, and we all got to party in the green room. Freddie loved his "Yack" as he called it (cognac). What a beautiful person he was!
I like looking at the guy behind Freddie with the trumpet and tinted glasses and watching his reactions. He probably realizes that he is listening to one of the best jazz trumpeters on the planet!
Love his triplets and slurs - what artistry with his rapid fire notes. he will be remembered always by many of us. Too bad he was taken from us so soon.
What a nice atmosphere! It's always good to see greats play with local musicians; there's no competition; there's just a friendly conversation in a common language, whether it's in Budapest or wherever. And great audience, too. Thanks for posting this, jazz957. It's a gem.
This is not really a ballad, it's a slow swing groove, about the same tempo that Cannonball recorded it Miles on Somethin' Else. A master jazz artist, and most accomplished jazz musicians can play ballads, med tempos, up tempos, blues etc, that's all part of it. Glad you enjoyed Freddie, he was a true master and one of the most important jazz soloists of jazz history.
Great!! I think Freddie is playing a Getzen flugelhorn here. He gets a real good sound and plays all over the horn with great ease. We do miss Freddie.
I'm not a real Jazzer, but I do find this video quite enjoyable!

To think this incredible performance could have been lost for all time. Luckily Freddie is good enough for someone to have brought a video camera

They are a pretty wild bunch there! I bet it's the only time Hubbs played in a Dixieland club! Very good and not just the guest star.

I knew he could rip on bebop, post-bop, and free, but I didn't know he could get really expressive on ballads. He is a huge musical loss.
