[DohaJazz]

B section is NOT Eb / Db major - it is Eb / D major....

[ELREYDELAMOTA13]

anyone know the name of a version where the intro is only drums playing and a man with a deep voice on lyrics?

[sxymelissannt]

Superb & I don't even like jazz

[mokatel]

Simply splendid.

[ricbassist]

The waving animation looks weird... :P

[luisisfresh79]

Thumbs Up if Pepe Bradock -"Deep Burnt" did a masterful job with this original song

[remaks69]

@luisisfresh79 DEFO!

[ATangProductions]

cOULD SOMEONE TELL ME A SCALE I CAN USE AS REFWRENCE WHEN DOING AN IMPROV SOLO TO THIS SONG...plex

[clarinutty99]

@ATangProductions learn the changes



[JosephIbrahim88]

@ATangProductions the A section of this song is essentially one chord, Dmin7. You can use D dorian or A Natural Minor for improv. The B section is EbMaj7 to DbMaj7: You can use the Eb major scale to improvise.

TLC

[djpaydro]

Listening to this on a REALLY sunny day.....beautiful!

[DUANESKEE]

Today is your 73 birthday dad. I miss and love you more everyday. R.I.P pops.

[zcg3]

I've got this song WITHOUT Al Jarreau. It's ten thousand times better WITHOUT the vocals. I think Al Jarreau is OK but I think it ruins this song. Sorry...

[superbossanova31]

@zcg3 Post it please!

[multigrooves]

That's the quartet version on Atlantic I think.

[MovieVidKing]

@zcg3 This song didn't have lyrics. This really demonstrates how musicians (you) can create and use your imagination, espousing something beautiful over a great track. This is what being an artist is all about...giving life to something that was once bland or mundane.

[supastaroftokyo]

the begining of this song is so beautiful

[TheImposer]

Amazing song! What's with the weird picture effects, though? They just distract from the music.

[Mamasan41]

@TheImposer Close your eyes..............

[123Enchiladas]

@TheImposer i know right



[jabbour99]

almost had the opportunity to play with freddie but he past away before i had the chance

[DUANESKEE]

Beautiful song.

[radiootoo]

Splendid. This is what YouTube s all about. The greatest medium since Gutenberg - or at least since the Web Itself!

[samsamba08]

Yeah, that's Chick Corea on piano...he plays on this and the title track of this LP, "The Love Connection"

[MrSteveG58]

Man what cut!!! What a duo, Freddie and Al.brings back memories. Good ones. Claus your string arrangement...

[JohnBlank12]

He is a an important influence on my sax playing - so mellow and melodic

[JohnBlank12]

Brings back memories from the jazz fiunk days of the late 70's - Robbie Vincent on Saturday mornings Radio London - I have a recording from that show somewhere.

Even though I am a sax player, this guys influences my playing - mellow and melodic and Als vocals - so blissful!

[sativaair]

good, but missing something

[wesalexbar]

OMG!! The intro. is sampled by A Tribe Called Quest- The Love. I love discovering samples!! lol

[gunnerella]

@wesalexbar Check pepe bradock - deep burnt ;-)

[GregPotratz]

This album was so underrated when released, it has always been one of my fav jazz recordings. Claus Ogerman strings throughout...great stuff!

[DUANESKEE]

Dad and Stepmom oncover.R.I.P. both of you.

[port2344chester]

@DUANESKEE Thats your pops & step mom, 1 love too you & your family.

[port2344chester]

DONT MAKE THEM LIKE THEY ONCE DID! Classic track....

[longdrive33]

Nice sweet cut with AJ handling the vocals.

[ddogisacoolguy]

red clay inspired me... such a good song...and this one...so beautiful...so mellow...it makes you not care about anything...

[oRuTRa45]

Sounds like Chick Corea on the keys.

[Juuuuuul]

@oRuTRa45 It is Albert Dailey though.

[adeart7]

sounds like nina simone singing. who's singing?

[jamestdawson]

@adeart7 I believe that is Al Jarreau singing.

Wonderful album. I had not hear it more than 20 years. Thanks for posting it.

[antmanxl]

hi alan

[soulsupremeful]

I like :)

[willetbrooks1]

Freddie and Al worked so well on this track.......the vocals are amazing........

[VetalF]

i like the bass line, though it confuses me when i'm playing guitar for this song in my school's senior jazz band =O

[CarolinaSlim80]

Didn't Tribe use the intro for their song "The Love" on the final album?

[nisrae]

Yes. It was produced by Jay Dee a.k.a. J Dilla.

[CarolinaSlim80]

Thanks luv. Damn, I miss Dilla.

[steeltownbrown52]

@nisrae According to Dilla's discography "The Love" wasn't produced by him. Probably Ali Shaheed Muhammad or Q Tip produced it. That's the problem with people and the Ummah, everyone is quick to acknowledge J Dilla but never Tip or Sha's production work.

[beautifulopusoflove]

@steeltownbrown52 It's possible, but there was a radio interview back in 2001 done on Gilles Peterson's show with Dilla. The backing music was all Dilla beats and "The Love" was one of the tracks played.

[steeltownbrown52]

@beautifulopusoflove Maybe he choose to play "The Love" instrumental and mistakenly like most people, assumed it was a Dilla beat.

[beautifulopusoflove]

@steeltownbrown52 I'm confused, who officially said it wasn't a Jay Dee production?

[steeltownbrown52]

@beautifulopusoflove His discog which you can find at Stones Throw and also the credits for The Love Movement album.

[beautifulopusoflove]

@steeltownbrown52 I guess if you also think Jay Dee didn't have anything to do with Motivators or Mind Power, because those aren't listed on the ST discog either.

[steeltownbrown52]

@beautifulopusoflove Just checked the album creds for Beats,Rhymes and Life and no, I don't see J. Yancey in the credits of those tracks either. They were pretty specific on both Beats,Rhymes and Life and The Love Movement album credits of which tracks were produced by J Dilla.

[beautifulopusoflove]

@steeltownbrown52 Hmm, I guess I could believe it. Tip was good at changing his sound. But to me a track like Phony Rappers is definitely a Q-tip production, while Motivators or Mind Power sounds very much like dilla in 96. Mostly the mix, I guess.

[steeltownbrown52]

@beautifulopusoflove Don't forget Shaheed, him and Jay's material sounds pretty similar. I bet if ya went to listen to Shaheed-produced "Got" by Mos Def, you'd say that sounds like Dilla to.

[beautifulopusoflove]

@steeltownbrown52 Nah, I've been playing Got since it came out...the mix is very "un" jay dee...

[seboufdu59]

@steeltownbrown52 I don't know, i mean Dilla got his own way of making beat. Don't disrespect Shaheed or Tip, but Dilla's drums can't be topped. Like Havoc said, "it's not what you sample, it's how you sampled it" and for me, Dilla may not have been as successful as Dre or as credited as Preemo, but he was the best beatmaker. RIP Dawg.

[steeltownbrown52]

@seboufdu59 Yeah but my point was, that just cause the credits say Ummah, don't mean it was all Dilla.

[seboufdu59]

@steeltownbrown52 I'm ok whit that.

[ThePoppMonster]

@nisrae that song was produced by Q-Tip, not Jay Dee

[gmonet46]

Ogermann is a genius. Try the version of "Sunflower" by the wonderful vibes artist Milt Jackson...OMG! It's an old CTi release that will take your breath when you hear the bass of Carter, piano of Hancock, drums of Cobham..(sounding like agroup you know?) and the strings arranged by Don Sebesky and I'll let you guess who plays horn on this one!

[gexv8]

Music sounds so surreal , its awesome.

[SallyLovesAngie]

ha whats up with teh warping?

[LiquidGold2]

Great song Jazzyman. thank you.

:)

[0ct0parr0t]

the strings at the begining are beutiful :)

[InnerLlightSpectrum]

Amazing Track ! I just discovered this song a few days ago!

[chavhugo]

sheer beauty!!!

[wakeyladhere]

Now I know why I like Pepe Bradock- Deep Burnt of Kif records so much!

[goldenchopsticks]

I covered this with my band a couple months ago, check in the responses for my cover :D

[Lesterizer]

any idea who's playing flute?

[ColmOSullivanRed]

I believe it's Joe Farrell, flute, even though it sounds not unlike Hubert Laws here...

String arrangements by the great Claus Ogermann.

[jazzanova68]

This is really enjoayable...

thank you for sharing, jazzyman!

[rei14pedro]

RIP Freddie Hubbard

thanks for uploading this

[furtherinfusion]

i love it !!!!

[Mamasan41]

Oh this is so fine. THANK YOU!

[law2461]

What a wonderful combination of talent., didn't know Al jarreau wrote the lyrics. Thanks.

[jerec576]

Hubbard helped me separate from metal music, thanks for it.

[mallorcametal3]

hey, whats wrong with listening to jazz AND metal?

I do it :)

[jerec576]

Anything with expression and improvisation tops metal, metal was just like.. patterns and repeats done differently, never change nor interest so i just saw it as crap after awhile, i found this kinda stuff.

[jesemus33]

stupid kid

[drivervw]

Me too! I still listen to Judas Priest now and again, but seeing Freddie with Christian McBride, Benny Green, Tony Redus was a real eye opener... RIP FH!

[DajaWaja]

@jerec576 AHHAHAHAHA best comment ever

[valambiguous]

Will always be remembered. R.I.P my jazzman. Thank you passjay for this nice share. Very nice post jazzyman3.

[passjay]

[passjay]

[MRAm33t]

the original recording is on Freddie's Backlash album with James Spaulding if still in print. Gone but not forgotten.....God Bless Freddie "the jet" Hubbard.

[doodovf]

oh i just realized someone already said that. sorry for being repetitive.

[doodovf]

the intro to this song is the sample for a tribe called quest's song - the love.

both songs are amazing

[SW4TR3PP1N]

J Dilla RIP

Your musical genious will never die in vain...

[Roelandvinken]

those strings at the beginning give me the chills, incredible magic

[ColmOSullivanRed]

Claus Ogermann, arranger

[lookingoutpfunk]

classic. al is smooth and subtle

[groovinhigh487]

Love Freddie Hubbard. One of our great jazz trumpeters. RIP man.

[VirginUbiquity]

@groovinhigh487 aagreed groovin...he's up there with clifford brown, cannonball adderley, wynton marsalis, miles davies........u name it.............this song always sends me in trance state....its v. surreal and warm xxxxxx

[CeeMajor]

Pepe Bradock flipped it better on his deep house classic 'Deep burnt' than Tribe, I think, and I'm the biggest Tribe fan there is ;-) Check the song on Youtube and compare the two :)

[1978lucas]

chef-d'oeuvre.

[iTzUNwritten]

A tribe called quest - the love

[passjay]

exactly!!

[PropheticSarahNell]

Love this song-- can't get enough of it.

[dcbarth]

rest in peace

freddie hubbard - legend of our times

[Success2gether]

[HooptedoodleFilms]

Shucks the strings intro is what Pepe Braddock built Deep Burnt around...amazing

[bigcrackerpants]

beautiful...

[MRAm33t]

Original instrumental recording from the "Backlash" album with a beautiful flute solo by James Spaulding...wonderful vocalese here by Al Jarreau!

[capami]

amazing song. la conozco desde 1979 y todavía me gusta. al, en su mejor momento y freddie, único. ¿quién hizo los arreglos de esta canción? fabulosos.

[katsarewild]

This is like soooo beautiful and so soothing.

[rainray]

Driving in London at night. This is one of my favourite tracks to listen to.

[SukaStyle]

@rainray Oh! You couldn't have painted a more appealing picture! Sexy!

[SukaStyle]

I love the intro... found out about this from a Pepe Bradock remix of this called Deep Burnt here on YouTube.

[DannyKing3000]

@SukaStyle Check out theo parrish ugly edits vol 3

[smackfooter]

[chochief]

[wwwdotluke]

nice post jazzyman! not sure about the bit in the video when they turn green though.
