When we look at popular music these days it's usually pretty simple when it comes to notes and rhythm. That's why it's catchy and people like it. It is truly a sad sight to see that those simple songs are more popular than musical masterpieces such as this song. It breaks my heart to see one of the best genres of music disappear with the times.
I swear freddie starts crying, put turns it into this energetic anger that brings his solo to climax. I just love this, possibly my favorite jazz recording. Walter Davis Jr just kills that piano part, meshing it with his solo so well. That really is some of the best jamming ever right there.
Jazz will live, no matter what mass listens to. Good players still exists, ones that dont play academic stuff full of modals and scales pretending it to be soul, but will follow the old masters footsteps and play the good ol' jazz again. Thanks Freddie.
@muffincheese123 hey, if you sound a quarter that good? Gimme the time and place. Ill be there! :) good luck man! I played this one with a really grooving high school group. It's really something. You'll have a blast!
@godfreyhowatchin In thinking about what you're saying, I agree that funk is just a totally different style and feel than jazz. It just does not swing like jazz. Now IF contemporary jazz musicians are still improvising over melodies, I suppose it still falls in the category of jazz - not sure what the masters would say - but I am just not into the "funkification" of jazz standards. Wayyy too cheesy for me - I didn't feel that way 15 years ago. What did Marsalis say that got you so peeved?
The first time I heard this song, I was a jazz combo concert and I cried like a baby! The melancholy of this song is just overwhelming, but the music is beautiful!
I believe we are watching Freddy Hubbard here. Freddy was a very generous musician to up and coming players. He was an educator, a brilliant musician and a tireless perfector of his craft. He is not perhaps the greatest trumpet player that ever lived. That is too subjective a statement. However, he represented what it means to be a great musician - humility, reverence for what came before and eager to see what will come tomorrow. He makes me proud to be a trumpet player!
I can't believe what I am reading below. First of all, drug addiction is an illness. many artists flirted with the disaster of drugs over the years, some survived, while others didn't. Being an artist doesn't give license to do drugs or to be decent in dealing with others. Miles was well educated, came from a middle class home and could be a very decent person, However, he did have his quirks and could be downright mean sometimes. He was, however, a tremendous musician. PERIOD!
@SpaghettiDK I respectfully disagree. Miles was an innovator, not a technical mind. When he played a wrong note, he would play it again just to convey that he didn't play a wrong note. He was a talented writer, a great player, but by no means a genius. Geniuses don't act the way he did.
@KillswitchEngage42 So what, geniuses act the way Charlie Parker did? Or Lord Byron did? Or Marc Chagall? Benjamin Franklin as opposed to Euler? How are geniuses supposed to act?
I'm not a big fan of Mile's playing either, but the only trait geniuses have in common with each other is unbridled passion for what they do and work ethic, as far as I can tell.
@woodencardboard My man, he kicked Coltrane out of his quintet after Coltrane's addiction became too heavy. Then, Miles got hooked on heroin. Geniuses are supposed to be passionate, as well as being decent people. Miles was an ass. And then, on top of that, he moved on to funk and dropped swing completely. Geniuses stay true to their craft. Funk is a jazz musician's worst enemy. If you still think Miles is a genius, well, you must have tolerance for stupidity.
@KillswitchEngage42 Charlie Parker was even worse, possibly because of his heroin addiction. He would skip out on gigs, fuck with people for no reason, etc. There are lots of artists generally looked upon as geniuses who were jerks (Schoenberg) or utterly self-destructive (Parker) and some that were really nice and held-together (Clark Terry).
I don't know if Miles is a genius, or there's such a thing as being a genius. All I'm saying is that that's got nothing to do with who he is as a person
@KillswitchEngage42 being a genius shouldn't be misconstrued as to imply one is also an exemplary person. miles was artistically free. in that he was the artist's artist. i'll include that if there is a common strand among geniuses it would be perhaps that they have huge appetites.
@edscottable I understand your argument man. Miles was a great player. One of my favorites. But I'm just spoiled by Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, and Hubbard here. Great people, better players. I should be more open-minded :)
@KillswitchEngage42 Miles' biggest contribution to music was marrying, then divorcing Betty Davis so she could make funk records. You're probably more open minded than me, relax
@KillswitchEngage42 actually never mind apparently you don't know what you're talking about since i just saw you dis funk in an earlier post, WHOOOOOPS
oh my god...after he takes the horn from his face...is that his skin peeling off from the mouthpiece??? that man gave his whole soul to his art, god bless him, my face hurts just watching him play!
@boricuatrumpet69 i agree with you, but you gotta be correct if your in the rhythm section. thats why i am freaking out right now...... not meant to sight read!!!! ahhhhhh
@magnusdude61. Basie himself was a regular and guy and the sort of person who'd love to sit down and enjoy a hot dog and orange soda with you. He did with me, then invited me to sit in the band's break section while they played 4 sets that night.
Freddie was the baddest the bad... as much as I love Miles and Clifford and Lee Morgan- Freddie's technique and chops TRUMPED them all - RIP my dear friend FH
met him after the show backstage. don't remember how we got back there. we talked about the show, which was fantastic/larger than life, actually -- he complained about his lip even then, years before it got really bad--then what it was like to live in santa cruz (he asked me where I was from), and his upcoming show schedule. that was about it. i was pretty intimidated by his star presence so i didn't say much. my friend did most of the talking. we were kids standing in front of the wizard...
i met him at the keystone corner jazz club in SF in 1984 or 83, just before it closed...he was gracious and down to earth, not puffed up with 'how dare you approach me' arrogance like so many stars......it makes me sad to think he'll never play again ... i regret only seeing him play once. Freddie Hubbard is simply the greatest jazz trumpet player in jazz history. graceful, powerful, majestic, and more. what a loss.......
@magnusdude61 Your comment about Freddie Hubbard being "...gracious and down to earth,..." rang a memory chime. I was lucky enough to meet Sonny Stitt, Johnny Hodges, and a lot of Ellington and Basie's band members in the 66-67 era. To a man, every one of them was kind, gracious, and almost shy with their humility. I feel lucky to have had the great fourtune to know them a little bit when they were off the bandstand.
@logansGT I thought it added a nice touch to a beautiful piece. Keep an open mind fella! Cliff probably commended him for this performance at the Pearly Gates.
@logansGT ha ha ... I can understand your comment (and in a sense I share your feeling) but I think that's just the way he heard it ... the way he felt it and expressed himself. Playing stuff like that was well within the compass of his ability ... so what is wild and 'out there' for us was straightforward for Mr Freddie Hubbard
@Arborwaychet - If you're a Chet Baker fan, I understand why you agree with my comment but I also think you're correct about how Freddie expressed it. Sometimes I don't always hear it a certain way...gotta love Freddie, though.
Re Chet....he was the guy who turned me on to jazz. I first heard him playing with Mulligan. No vocals on that particular album, and I was a little surpised when I heard him sing for the first time.
I guess it was another case of 'what's wrong with this picture'.....lol
And while we're appreciating the playing and writing presented in this video, let's appreciate the subject of the song -- the immortal Clifford Brown whose virtuosity on the trumpet and the ideas he played were matched only by the beauty of his humanity. In an era where many of his contemporaries were mired in heroin addiction, Brownie lived a clean life. His fellow musicians all loved him. When word of his death reached the jazz community, gigs were canceled because many musicians couldn't play

It is a shame that the comments to this video have sunk into race baiting, polling (who's # 1), and other forms of trolling. Instead we should be appreciating the soulfulness and artistry of all involved -- Freddie, Benny Golson who wrote "I Remember Clifford" immediately after the passing of his good friend Clifford Brown, and Art Blakey who gave so many of the jazz giants such as Freddie, Lee Morgan, and Curtis Fuller, the opportunity to play and develop their gifts in the Jazz Messengers.
RIP Freddie , I love his sound on the Morning Sun Album by Alphonse Mouzon awesome player ... oh by the way I am a white Englishman that hails from the North of England and I truly adore this guy "Jazz has no boundaries"
Due to the high demand for this model, the once custom-only configuration is back as a standard offering. The marriage of the large #3 bell and the open #9 leadpipe produces a lovely, full sound with an open air stream, making this a favorite among small band players and soloists alike. Frequently referred to as the "Freddie Hubbard" model,
Down beat - blind fold test, the only person to always accurately tell if a player or band was black or white was Dizzy. He could pick out the different races in a band. Jazz is Black from blues and gospel born in the slave fields of America. That's a fact! That's the "pain" you hear in Jazz, the pain of slavery in America. and Freddie expresses it well on his Calicchio trumpet Model U39 now the the Hubbard model.
Why are these comments so brutally used in words that are being said?, why are people, if you call your self a person. wy are you speaking like an animal, using such language that comes from hell, are you a person or a "beast' you can't speak intelligently, about this music, "Jazz",.
Yes!, it is sad that people are arguing about race, it's this particular music Jazz, I guess it's a mindset that goes back with the black race centuries ago, since plantation days, they believe it's there music hereitage, you can'e very well blame them for that
It's sad that instead of enjoying the legacy of amazing jazz musicians and their musicality, we are arguing over semantics concerning race. I doubt a single person clicked this video to argue over race. Instead, I can guarantee you they wanted to listen to Freddie beast his trumpet as he always has.
Jazz is a way to express yourself through music, it has nothing to do with skin color....People, stop arguing about black and white and enjoy the video.
Saying both white and black has contributed to jazz is hypocrisy. White did contributed to jazz but by far it belongs to black. And thats not racism, it is the true. Erik's Hobsbown book "social history of jazz" give us a light in this matter.
to ashrafilms, you need to get a whole of yourselves, it sounds like your having a nervous "breakdown", is it over the music "Jazz",?, you must remember it;s the Afro-American who are the greats, and Icons of this music, awsome Mystery.
Hey #1strumpet - no thanks - I'll take your word it that you can really blow. By the conceited manner in which you've SOLICITED me I think you've been around the block too many times for me to be interested in 'checking you out.' What does 'suction' have to do with a 'deduction' (a thought)? Suction is part of #1strumpet playing not thinking. Maybe it's just a fact that all #1strumpet players like yourself are all obsessed with suction. You're just a joke or just joking right #1 strumpet?
Oops. I meant to say Miles & Clifford then Freddie Hubbard & Chet Baker followed by Dizzy Gillespie & Roy Eldridge & then...Lee Morgan? Baker was a great pure jazz trumpet player-improvisor for a white guy wasn't he? He built & sustained his solos better than Morgan I think.
Hey "absuction" I don't even recognize any of those names except Miles. What kind of obscure stuff are you listening to? You might want to check out my band's videos if you want to learn what jazz is all about.
Hubbard was a GREAT trumpet player and he was great early on. Listen how well he played on Bill Evans' Interplay in 1962. I myself think the greatest players were Miles & Clifford followed by Hubbard & Baker followed by Eldridge & Morgan?
man what's the deal with black and white??? i've seen a lot of jazz video's on youtube and it's the same story on every single video. just shut up about who's the better artist a black or a white one.
i'm a young white trumpet player and doesn't feel good to hear this stupid theorys about which race you have to be to play jazz. ever heard of toots thielemans? well he's white and belgian and he still rock's on the age of 80 or something!!
you're right but you have to recognize that black people created jazz...now many white men like James Morrison play jazz with great feeling and skill. But don't get offended when they tell you that jazz is a black music, because it is, if it was created by blacks then it's a black music, just like rap...Rap was created by blacks, but Eminem is white and he raps just as good as any black rapper.
Down beat - blind fold test, the only person to always acurately tell if a player or band was black or white was Dizzy. He could pick out the different races in a band. Jazz is Black from blues and gospel born in the slave fields of America. That's a fact! That's the "pain" you hear in Jazz, the pain of slavery in America
First of all, you're an ignorant ape if you think that matters. Second the "pain" in this song is about Clifford Brown's death. Get out of the past and realize music is about humanity, not some intangible grudge about a long passed tragedy.
Black do not "rule" jazz- it belongs to everyone. That's like saying American politics is "ruled" by whites. Sure, jazz is part of black, not white, culture, but jazz transcends race. I'm white and I can love and appreciate jazz just as much as the next guy.
Talented, gifted, is it wonderful, God who so loved us all, has given to us thee gift, the the gift of "LOVE", the music within us speaks of love, that's the brilliance of "Jazz" music, spiritual, powerful, king and queens in their Chariot's. Black Beauty.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
rubbish, classical music is white, jazz belongs to blacks, whites just imitate, you know it, you aint ever gonn have louis miles or charlie parker they belong to the blacks. they is ours!

When word of his death reached the jazz community, gigs were canceled because many musicians couldn't play

@equity44 It's a shame that he had to die at such a young age.

It is a shame that the comments to this video have sunk into race baiting, polling (who's # 1), and other forms of trolling. Instead we should be appreciating the soulfulness and artistry of all involved -- Freddie, Benny Golson who wrote "I Remember Clifford" immediately after the passing of his good friend Clifford Brown, and Art Blakey who gave so many of the jazz giants such as Freddie, Lee Morgan, and Curtis Fuller, the opportunity to play and develop their gifts in the Jazz Messengers.

i think Roy Hargroves interpretation of this song is better than Hubbards in my opinion
but he is still amazing!

He had such a clean tone and great articulation of each note. He made the trumpet sound smooth because thats who he is.

3/9L (3 Bell with a 9 leadpipe in Large bore)
Due to the high demand for this model, the once custom-only configuration is back as a standard offering. The marriage of the large #3 bell and the open #9 leadpipe produces a lovely, full sound with an open air stream, making this a favorite among small band players and soloists alike. Frequently referred to as the "Freddie Hubbard" model,

Down beat - blind fold test, the only person to always accurately tell if a player or band was black or white was Dizzy. He could pick out the different races in a band. Jazz is Black from blues and gospel born in the slave fields of America. That's a fact! That's the "pain" you hear in Jazz, the pain of slavery in America. and Freddie expresses it well on his Calicchio trumpet Model U39 now the the Hubbard model.

Why are these comments so brutally used in words that are being said?, why are people, if you call your self a person. wy are you speaking like an animal, using such language that comes from hell, are you a person or a "beast' you can't speak intelligently, about this music, "Jazz",.

Yes!, it is sad that people are arguing about race, it's this particular music Jazz, I guess it's a mindset that goes back with the black race centuries ago, since plantation days, they believe it's there music hereitage, you can'e very well blame them for that
regionalable 2 years ago
It's sad that instead of enjoying the legacy of amazing jazz musicians and their musicality, we are arguing over semantics concerning race. I doubt a single person clicked this video to argue over race. Instead, I can guarantee you they wanted to listen to Freddie beast his trumpet as he always has.

Saying both white and black has contributed to jazz is hypocrisy. White did contributed to jazz but by far it belongs to black. And thats not racism, it is the true. Erik's Hobsbown book "social history of jazz" give us a light in this matter.

Hey #1strumpet - no thanks - I'll take your word it that you can really blow. By the conceited manner in which you've SOLICITED me I think you've been around the block too many times for me to be interested in 'checking you out.' What does 'suction' have to do with a 'deduction' (a thought)? Suction is part of #1strumpet playing not thinking. Maybe it's just a fact that all #1strumpet players like yourself are all obsessed with suction. You're just a joke or just joking right #1 strumpet?

Oops. I meant to say Miles & Clifford then Freddie Hubbard & Chet Baker followed by Dizzy Gillespie & Roy Eldridge & then...Lee Morgan? Baker was a great pure jazz trumpet player-improvisor for a white guy wasn't he? He built & sustained his solos better than Morgan I think.

Hey "absuction" I don't even recognize any of those names except Miles. What kind of obscure stuff are you listening to? You might want to check out my band's videos if you want to learn what jazz is all about.

Hubbard was a GREAT trumpet player and he was great early on. Listen how well he played on Bill Evans' Interplay in 1962. I myself think the greatest players were Miles & Clifford followed by Hubbard & Baker followed by Eldridge & Morgan?

i'm a young white trumpet player and doesn't feel good to hear this stupid theorys about which race you have to be to play jazz. ever heard of toots thielemans? well he's white and belgian and he still rock's on the age of 80 or something!!
dikkind 2 years ago
you're right but you have to recognize that black people created jazz...now many white men like James Morrison play jazz with great feeling and skill. But don't get offended when they tell you that jazz is a black music, because it is, if it was created by blacks then it's a black music, just like rap...Rap was created by blacks, but Eminem is white and he raps just as good as any black rapper.

First of all, you're an ignorant ape if you think that matters. Second the "pain" in this song is about Clifford Brown's death. Get out of the past and realize music is about humanity, not some intangible grudge about a long passed tragedy.

Black do not "rule" jazz- it belongs to everyone. That's like saying American politics is "ruled" by whites. Sure, jazz is part of black, not white, culture, but jazz transcends race. I'm white and I can love and appreciate jazz just as much as the next guy.
