Tony williams feat. Freddie Hubbard w/ Super star quintet

[SuperMartin223]

One of my favorites, and one of the all-time great horn players, in my opinion.

[jazzjuuko]

Freddie did create a song called blues for Duane, that could be his son

[kenlappin]

OUT OF THIS WORLD!.amazed,how does he do that?.brilliant!.

[eblip]

duane...your not his son....just think someone should tell you...as if your mom knows who your father is.....GET REAL MAN...she had more cocks than a barn yard hen ....whooaaaa.

[sopwithcamels266]

Great

[DajaWaja]

what an effin monster trumpet player, very beautiful

[oaklandtobangkok]

I miss him.

[Johnflugelhorn]

Great video,thanks for sharing. Freddie Hubbard was also a great composer as time will show.

[peopleinsorrow]

I love so much the combination of Tony Williams' brush work and Ron Carter's bass. Thank you very much posting this video.

[alfiegrieve]

3:40

[DUANESKEE]

At eblip,this is his son Duane,and you need to lo lower you crack inhilation.

[Slamule]

Wynton is really good, Freddie is truly great as you can see, Miles is Miles

[eblip]

i know serious talent.....and this guy has a serious case of talent.

he was taught to play trumpet by his grandfather.....who according to freddie was a far faster and superior trumpet player to himself....his grandfather sold his soul to the devil in a voodoo ceremony when he was 19 and apparently could induce epileptic fits or make the audience collapse by playing his tunes. his trumpet was confiscated by the mississippi state govornor...and he was executed.....freddie still has his finger.

[trumpetids]

@eblip man  stop trippin

[eblip]

i know serious talent.....and this guy has a serious case of talent.

[th1nk21]

Freddy is on another level. All killer

[Tehdudemonster]

0:20, the caption reads "you don't now what love is".

"know" is spelled with a "k". oops

[DUANESKEE]

SUCH a beautiful love ballad,he was the greatest trumpet player of all-time. R.I.P. Freddie D. Hubbard.

[jimmyjuicin]

I love how he always takes the horn away from his face and gets this look on his face saying "hmmmm.... what to play next."

[jome80627]

Freddie is just so soulful and technical all at the same time...amazing

[lulzlover]

so much heart and soul. love freddie.

[anandanaga999]

Whoa Hear that high G?

[jordaoluz]

otimo ! esse cara é foda!

[louispippie]

Wish I'd been there. Saw him in London in '83 with JH and Tyner, but nothing as good as this...

[Nearpsited3]

This is an orgasm away from being better than sex !!! Killin !!!! 

[gregoryusa1]

This is classic Hubbard. He was once quoted as saying: You play the trumpet, but you make love to a Flugelhorn. No one milks a Flugel as Freddie Hubbard did. Thanks for post this.

[intrepidpooch]

@gregoryusa1 Dig it man! IMHO, Roy Hargrove's doing a hell of a job today carrying on his legacy on the flugel.

[VJSco]

FRED WIN!

[BassicallyChristian]

Man...Freddie Hubbard was the baddest cat on trumpet. He is committing murder on that Couesnon Flugelhorn...

[MokshaIS]

brilliant. masterful. like a god. groovy. yo

whoa

[bhsisthebest]

An essential beauty.

[Trinivalts]

3:13 That bass lick is pure awesomeness!

[ptqmdc]

no estaba preparado para escuchar esto.... es demasiado nivel !!!!!!!! increible

[dieglhix]

This was destroyed by the Hip-hop shit.

[Chromatype]

His phrasing is always so in the pocket and free at the same time.

[oregonbobv]

Oh Yeah, Freddy is palting a flugelhorn. WOW!!!

[oregonbobv]

He received the highest rating for trumpet players in the recent downbeat magazine. I was fortunate to see him at avery fisher Hall in New York in 1974.

[word2daherd]

I am so happy to see others recognizing the greatness of this extraordinary trumpet player...very underrated if you ask me..most likely due to the medias' love for the legendary Miles Davis

[GoGoNards]

Now that's a cool mo'fuka!

[Mopsmops]

the best song I've ever heard I must have this song... where I can download it...

[jthereal]

if you really like it, go buy it! the best song you've ever heard .. and you just wanna download it....

it's a shame :(

[womb0womb0]

@jthereal Yup... as if jazz musicians aren't broke enough already lol

[tdog81]

I don't think there has been any, I repeat any musician in our live time that has had such a command of his horn. As previously mentioned, he can do anything that comes to his mind at any time. There are not the words to describe this level of musicianship. This might transcend all that we've ever seen musicially.

[urfixed]

@tdog81 Grover....... Same league

[pseudokowski]

@tdog81 I do Theodore "Fats" Navarro, Clifford Brown & Booker Little could blow ANYTHING they wanted to. Without Fats Navarro there would be no Clifford, Lee Morgan or Hubbard in my opinion. Booker was working on what Woody Shaw would later do, that being playing unconventional intervals on the trumpet. Can't deny that Freddie has his shit together and is cookin' on this Vid!!

[arkadymusic]

No wonder Freddie Hubbard is a hero to so many, and not just trumpet players! Masterpiece of a performance! Great band! Timeless music that will inspire forever! Thanks a lot for posting this!

[boutevinlfs]

The level of artistry Freddie H. reached here is something phenomenal...beyond words. Such a force and yet such a fragility in his solo! This really brings tears to my eyes.I keep on coming back to this page on and on as If I was looking for peace of mind inside a church. Mesmerizing clip!

[ludovan76]

straordinario.

[dolsigma]

I really love his playing on flugel, its so lyrical as well as technical. Such a loss, but in the end his contribution really transcends living, so has he really died?

I think not. There isn't a jazz musician that doesn't know his name, or wants to have the aptitude he so easily utilized. His body maybe six feet under, but his music is never more than inches from our hearts

[benoncambie]

what's so fucking crazy about this video is that it's almost as if he's just playing with the horn - like he can do anything with it at anytime. Playing a line like 2:32 to 2:36 with shades on....holy shit!!

[DizzyShaw]

What an opening cadenza! Wow!

[worlboy]

Freddie Hubbard was one of the greatest ballad players ever...in any era of jazz...his flugelhorn (that's a Getzen by the way) was my favorite horn to listen to him play ballads. This was recorded in 1982 before his lip problems. Every trumpet player owes him a debt of gratitude for showing us what's possible and how to do it as beautifully as he did...RIP Hub

[vastusinternus]

virtuosity, mad, sick, incredible, what more can I say? My goodness.

[m0nkw]

wow , so sick. My favorite version now

[indianjazz]

This brings tears to my eyes.  The virtuosity is incredible.

[stevedd50]

marvellous !! soul, brilliance, humanity, love, blood and tears. Freddie is up there with the best of the best of the best

[Dazzer1234567]

very soulful.......my favorite trumpet-man ever

[jpfry]

You don't know what love is.

Some of the most meaningful playing I've ever heard... I felt like he really spoke through his horn. So much emotion and feeling. This transcends music.

[Cardossian]

What kind of trumpet is that?

[Moog167]

I think it's called a Flugelhorn

Chuck Mangione is famous for playing this instrument as well

[urfixed]

@Moog167

Please don't mention Chuck. And Freddie in the same sentence. Not even in the same league!

[Moog167]

Well EXCUUUUSSSSEEEE me urfixed.....That's your opinion I was just talking about the instrument not who's better.

[soilsminor11]

what was that!!

[hermease]

he looked like he was having trouble with his lip already at that time. But waht gorgeous playing. No one could play a ballad like freddie!

[georgemargaris]

so many details in his playing... just great

[longboarder1960]

I was lucky enough to see him in the 80's in Los Angeles at the Wiltern,

though not at the hight of his career, he was still amazing. Definately one of the best horn men EVER!!!

[jlevinson6]

are you kidding, the 80's was the high point of his career. No one ever played the trumpet like he did. Saw him many many times and he was always killin'!

[longboarder1960]

I like his stuff from the 60's best

[mediajunky]

RIP Freddie

[laphound]

I only saw Freddie play once. He and a new young band leader Wynton Marsalis were on the same bill in Philly. They played together in the Finale and needless to say they both were great. But Freddie soared to the next level and to the audience with him. Rest in peace my man.

[bass6st]

Freddie Hubbard will live on in all of our Hearts & Spirits

4 /7/1938- 12/29/2008 R.I.P.

[ThirdValve]

Hubbard was an instrumental and musical genius... and he never "took any prisoners" whenever he picked up the horn. Arguably the most influential jazz trumpeter of the past 40 years. RIP, Freddie... and keep on honkin with the Angels.

[boutevinlfs]

Thank you Freddie for all the Love you

gave us and taught us through Music.

[famw]

R I P Freddie 12/29/2008

[uninoculated]

Freddie: one if the most innovative jazz musicians of all time. He ALWAYS took it up a notch. Even in the company of huge jazz giants he stood out, that is how good he was. Thank you Freddie.

[refractor6]

Another one of the true giants of jazz gone. RIP Mr Hubbard

[cucorocha]

Rest in Peace, Freddie. You were truly one of the greatest!

[davidpockettrpt]

Freddie is all over the flugel on this classic tune, and plays his characteristic riffs w/so much dripping blues feeling, that you DO know what love is by the time he finishes the incredible ending cadenza!!! What a genius of the instrument...very underrated too.

Thanks for posting!

[MontgomerylandFunk]

underrated? I've never met a serious trumpeter who doesn't idolize the man.

I do agree with everything you say though. Blues is the foundation of jazz.

[drummerman558]

i think he was a little underratted, at least by the average person, of course every serious trumpeter would love him, but because of miles at the time, he wasnt as popular as he could have been.

[artisanride]

i cant beleive this i cannot WTF

[MontgomerylandFunk]

This performance is like Lays chips.

You can't just watch it once.

**************

[stuartmack18]

roflcoptor

[cartoonlike]

that look like joe henderson doing the introduction

[Azorka82]

Fabulous.

[gogodol]

freddie is not playing trumpet but flugelhorn

[pjordano]

i reckon this could be the best ive heard of freddie on you tube, amazing!

right, i have to go practice now after hearing this.........

[pjordano]

whats this tune called again? freddie hubbard, so very very good, my hero!!

[tmrrmt]

were i can miss the song? i don´t see then in the ares,emule....?

[hefewiseman]

god,comon, any musical person on the right frequency

knows, that this is a major solo.

Dont even get me started about Tony Williwms.

what a gem

,

[KOKOYAMS]

EVERYTHING IS IN THIS SOLO; JUST EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO BE A MASTER MUSICIANS ; INTRUMENTALIST ; SPONTANEAOUS COMPOSER INTERPRETE; PLAYER AND ENTERTAINER;

bUT just freddie

[kingpleasure]

The guy with the best chops in the world. So much that he does is totally unreal like at 5:03 that little cry that he voices so it sounds like he is actually singing into the horn, or that stepped crescendo he blows at 5:45 up up up to incredible altissimo & then lets it slide down like a balloon deflating with a comical pffffttt at the end to crack everyone up--on top of everything else he does w/ compressing & stretching the time & the line & working the melody like a Duncan yo-yo champ.MAN!!!

[kingpleasure]

I meant to say "glissando" not crescendo. Words escaped me at 3 a.m. after watching this 5 times. This is one of the best videos on You tube, so thanks a million to druman44 for posting it. I have to look for the DVD...What's it called anyway, please?

[kingpleasure]

Did I mention that he SWINGS like a Mutha Fxckker? The essence of jazz, cause "it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing" is, was, and always will be the bottom line.

[stonepolismusic]

Yeah...Dizzy had the chops and Miles had the melody, but nobody put it all together like Freddie! Talk about range, rhythm, note choice and straight melodism? Freddie had it all! By far the greatest jazz trumpet player of our day...if not ever!

[WoodenBadger77]

good call. I totally agree. imo, Nicholas Payton is the guy who has taken this legacy into today.

[SC515]

Freddie~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~­~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[SC515]

One of the greatest Drummer that ever lived. Wonderful Piece, Oh Man<<<<<<<<<<<<<<!

[skarz67]

Freddie Hubbard is just insane - it's hard for someone with so much technique and chops to stay as lyrical and listenable as Freddie. That solo is just beautifully developed.

[tubessent1]

The comments of some of these ding-freakin-bat

defy conniption.

[funkygrooveman]

Freddie is the best

[MovieVidKing]

Freddie's always a class act! How he managed to play with a tie on is amazing!

[HolyHansemandse]

Maybe its just a loose tie :)

[jlevinson6]

He said it: You Don't Know What Love Is.

[bteiv676]

I know this song but can't remember the name...any help out there?

[jlevinson6]

It's not age unfortunately. He damaged his lip permanently by doing stuff he shouldn't have been doing.

[jazzmanta]

damn

[yesfan951]

I'm really moved by music alot, but I gotta say... This is really heavy.

[ErkkiEsimerkki]

Amazing chops and a very very musical performance!

[sfsmike]

ya, unfortunately now he has very dead chops and cant give any more performances :(

[WELLBRAN]

sfsmike, be fair, He must be getting on in age now, seems like He has been around forever. I wonder how old he is now?

[rustrumpeter]

what years??

[gio23664]

che bestia!..

[razalatinaPeru]

Freddie Hubbard, jazzmen is one of my favorites, I have several LPs. of vinyl touching when younger, thanks, a hug from Peru South America.

[Elliot84]

wow!! the control he has on his horn is amazing, never have i've been so impressed from a single performance.

Elliot

[nurikara]

[sclifo]

[ngassalogy]

[jefftritonesub]

When Freddie was at his best, he was simply THE best.

[Delray90]

As always, Freddie makes it look soooo easy!  Thanks to poster for this gem. Beautiful.
