[@tmaddrummer]

This version performed at The Blue Note is my favorite! Always worth watching again and again! Thanks and Blessings!

[@Duke01ification]

Watch this video carefully, you will realise that after a solo by Walter Davis jnr, Freddie,Johny & Curtis wanted to play & Art changed the beat of drums & thats when they stopped & allowed Reggie Workmen to play his solo. This is what I call the art of music.

[@JazzSoul1016]

I love when Freddie looks at Griffin funny when he plays that low note at 4:38 LoL Great stuff

[@nataicampbell4136]

Yh me to that low b flat he pkayed and freddies face

[@axl1mercury1]

hahah cant stop laughing at @4:38 Freddie Hubbard's face is the best reaction to a note i've seen in a while

[@SamSeriou]

Matias B. Hahaha that’s awesome

[@t4fnut]

Priceless. The entire song is priceless, but yeah, Hubbard’s reaction is infinitely moreso.

[@Jazzerine]

Indeed, hilarious! Might have thought it was a fart :)

[@littlejohn725]

2:50 What about his gulping for air?

[@billbernhard3582]

Art Blakey - Drums Walter Davis Jr. - Piano Reggie Workman - Bass Johnny Griffin - Tenor Saxophone Freddie Hubbard - Trumpet Curtis Fuller - Trombone Bop THAT !

[@thejeremybrock]

I can't help but sit here thinking Art Blakey probably played this song a million times, yet the smile at the end feels so authentic that you know he loved playing for people. There are other recordings of this song with less errors, but none with as much heart as this one has.

[@eleandromadureira5264]

Oh, my spirit is in the clouds, no, I'm not dead, it's this jazz taking me high! 🎷🥁🎺

[@kathleensaintesteben]

Merci pour cette vidéo. J’ai eu l’honneur de voir ce groupe fantastique en live à Nîmes. J’ai 14 ans pour toujours ❤️❤️❤️🇫🇷🇮🇪🇺🇸👍👍👍

[@qunicetoole7497]

I Absolutely love this smooth jazz groove Moanin' what an epic, timeless classic! I can listen to it any day of the week by Art Blakey! Each horn player gets 2 minutes to shine! but my favorite. horn is that slide/trombone the 1 with swiss cheese cut though..nicety.👍👍✌

[@Merf1195]

Man, that Walter Davis Jr. Is always smiling, thats awesome

[@LeMarseillaisCarioca]

nicer than those metal drummers and so-called guitar heroes looking like they were tortured or condemned to hard labour.

[@gumersindodominguez2248]

Quién oiga esto y no se entere ! No se entera, pero se puede enterar!

[@epiyiyo]

freddie hubbard is the trumpet!! one of the majestic jazz!!!!

[@timchapman5567]

Too much Moanin' is never enough. Top jazz, peak joy.

[@bryanneo9348]

So fun see this guys jazz it out during that point of time where jazz fusion was the IN thing...really the good old days!

[@FatsacksAllday]

art blakey was always so solid the dude swings like no other

[@PeterMlangeni]

This is a masterpiece.

[@mikutakiseko2351]

フレディが圧倒的すぎる。 ハードバップも感じさせるけど新主流の逸脱したプレイが凄まじい

[@skylermendell]

Love how Freddie moves his head around so much and it doesn't change his sound at all.

[@teaMmMate]

Sakamichi no Apollon.....Best Music anime out there, filled with jazz tunes. A must watch anime!!

[@razellefulgueras9261]

Hey brother Jun. I know what you did to Yurika.

[@macedoigor]

yes!

[@morkus26]

3:07 the timing around the top of the last section here is fascinating, 5:05 very behind the beat feel.

[@drumonsax]

This is the pure form of jazz.OMG!!!!

[@Moxxieful]

The classic old days,oh i love those times, those girls & the music.

[@morkus26]

1:47 love the displaced triplet polyrhythm in the piano comping.

[@JefferyMillerMusic]

It's a beret with holes cut into it. Curtis told me himself.

[@filippoparadiso7907]

Simply spectacular and enthralling rhythm section supporting all brass and piano solos!

[@Duke01ification]

I began enjoying jazz after I watched the DVD of Blue note artists. It was my late father`s (May his soul rest in peace) DVD. Tenor Sax-Johny Griffin,Trumpet-Freddie Hubbard,Trombone-Curtis Fuller,Piano -Walter Davis jnr,Bass-Reggie Workman & on drums is my here, Art Blakey.

[@FarcelPace]

You can't help but smile at Davis Jr's Face

[@drumonsax]

How much i miss LEE MORGAN....R.I.P.

[@francomanco3625]

mamma mia... mostruosi... Hubbard straordinario...

[@jigger222]

I shared this before,but,it is so awesome,here it comes again. These cats crush!

[@denizdewil7533]

Great share. Thank you for good taste

[@thebebopper985]

At 5:13 Curtis quotes Work Song.

[@LEONARDSEED]

Yeah bobby Timons on piano on the original and the composer, greatest version and piano solo.

[@gugs103]

Oh Freddy, you are hurting me! Damn, this unspeakably good. Thanks Miguel Tuna.

[@jamescoate862]

Art! I gotta show my drummer kid.

[@nataicampbell4136]

The reactions of when the bass solo starts as if it were never planned

[@animefan070200]

Awesome just awesome ♡♡♡

[@KSmall109CAB]

Pure octane for the soul!

[@MrDaraghkinch]

Reggie Workman absolutely cooking

[@Luiz28531]

Muito bom me apaixonei por esse som desde a primeira vez que eu ouvi na rádio Cultura Fm, 103,3 Brasil, São Paul , Capital.

[@robertsanders6518]

To randomperson 12o. That was not a mistake. It was very intentional. Griffin and many others use this in their solos. Hubbard's facial expression was one of approval.Like "yeah" baby!

[@FartBoyArmy]

4:35 Freddie's reaction e priceless!! xD

[@archimboldic.4318]

the little giant is burnin here!

[@AgustinAGP]

Reggie Workman, awesome

[@naimelhamidine9580]

Workman is awesome !

[@Extrememity]

go to 4:35 and watch :)

[@t4fnut]

8:50. Did the horn section forget Reggie Workman had a solo?

[@JazzSoul1016]

LoL these guys having a great time especially Walter Davis Jr.

[@Finkldorkin]

Whenever freddie plays and is really diggin into what he's playing, it looks like he is eating a really good sandwhich.

[@ozuozuozu]

WOW THIS IS GOOD

[@littlejohn725]

Oh man, this is JAZZ!

[@Star1Jingle]

Big thanks love it.

[@gerokusoheps]

みんな笑顔で活き活き演奏しててかわいいなあ。

[@charlesbarry6730]

Hard bop at its best.

[@palanzana]

yeah!

[@millyeon5082]

Awesome

[@bryanneo9348]

Freddie giving it all! 😅😪

[@denizdewil7533]

He always did. Right up till hi death bed. A genuine hero of mine. Music that turns you on. Right up till the end with Joe Pass and Oscar Peterson. Still blowing his ass off. Once in a generation comes a man like Freddie. So glad to have met him musically.

[@AlexBooya1]

What on earth is that thing on Curtis' trombone???

[@MrAndre41]

Gone, but there forever

[@josejuandelaruadelgado5407]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@vls179]

Props to Curtis Fuller for playing through that accident in the Swiss cheese shop earlier in the day.

[@rdisalvo5544]

At 2:55 Art Blakely has made it somewhere most of us will never go....

[@fiorentinofonte5497]

spettacolare! straordinario ! .. no more comments

[@franciscogarcia2555]

Otto Link Super Tone Master on Griffin´s horn

[@brunocurti950]

Otto link whatever, was Johnny Griffin!

[@SwinginRockerTV]

R.I.P. Curtis Fuller...

[@Ewerb7]

Wonderful video! Great version of a classic tune. Walter Davis looks like the happiest guy on the planet. Actually, all of the players are smiling throughout. Why not?

[@Misterslidedropper]

Curtis is using a type of Soft Mute. It's a kind of bag with holes in to absorb some of the overtones and sharp edges of the sound. Also he almost drops his Trombone at @7:00 . Funny face :p

[@the_judzters]

Wow..... To think I'm listening to Jazz after watching a anime show called " Kids on the Slope," which is a really good anime that recommend :D

[@hafsakardoud7870]

me too xD

[@edenchan4157]

Sakamichi No Apollo >.0

[@SUwUcide_]

Kids on the Slope brought me here as well.

[@Finger_Lock_]

For me it was jazz that brought me to Kids on the slope :D greate anme ;)

[@animefan070200]

Me too

[@alanwhicker163]

Exactly why not :-)

[@RonCarterBassist]

👏🏾👏🏾

[@petemeis234]

The original playing is the best one. I have it.

[@Crimson66]

Walter Davis Jr. is the happiest piano player alive.

[@johnmcgrath8886]

Was that a "hit the road, jack" quote on trombone? :-D

[@quobcake]

all of these guys have the fattest smiles on their faces

[@egiltorp6716]

Wow...listen to the short raw entrance of the Johnny Griffin solo. I would really be the one who did it on stage..........

[@germanflaschka353]

Its that a otto link stm right????

[@Citan85]

Kids on the slope..... uh yeah.... Sentaro!!

[@user-lh9xh7pw1u]

やっぱかっけぇなぁ、って思いながら見てて4:35で吹いたwwww

[@franciscogarcia2555]

What´s that thing on the trombone bell?

[@Shanopla]

@Finkldorkin ROFL you are so right but that is to hilarious

[@AnjiKnutsen]

The thing on the trombone muffles the sound slightly so it sounds better.

[@FCntertainr]

Anji Knutsen no its so to not bang @ the microphone

[@brucescott4261]

@@FCntertainr ...False!

[@cr2372]

Why do they sound a bit out of tune at the beginning? Is that how trumpets normally sound live?

[@rockguru14]

it looks like blakey is giving god the "check this shit out" face

[@AnjiKnutsen]

Thanks, I should know that. my little sister used to play the trombone. I tried it - once.

[@agnusize]

Um abafador de pano ou plástico - espécie de surdina!

[@bryanneo9348]

On the solo parts the guys almost forgot to give Reggie his turn..lol.

[@jamescoate862]

Walter Davis, shades of the monk?

[@BCS987]

An old shower curtain he cut up and placed over his bell. LOL!!!

[@gunnarkarlsson3391]

Hur bra som helst

[@dikbeats2720]

Cool a f

[@jigger222]

Its called a mute...it is supposed to mute the tone!

[@888paula]

it's a rubber for an elephant!

[@nickcagla]

I don't think Walter Davis Jr. has a sad face.

[@RangerMoose7]

But really, what is that thing on Curtis's trombone?

[@jamescoate862]

But Hubbard found a way to make it fresh....

[@drnubb762]

hahaha at 4:36

[@roitoufik]

salut c'est moi

[@Tiiisba]

Je pense qu'ils ont fumé quelque chose avant de monter sur scène...

[@ghairraigh]

Call it a mute.

[@JazzSoul1016]

LoL Hubbard probably coked out but he's great

[@inhmn]

Freddy is God, also - hate the haters. 2 dislikes - come on people, stop trolling !
