“Cantaloupe Island” (Live, 1985)

[@drcunda1]

A study finds that jazz fans are the happiest people of any genre of music. 😃 No surprises at all... 👍🏼

[@marcoathayde42]

The finest musicians at their prime.

[@kwaailight]

Take a bow: Herbie Hancock (piano) Freddie Hubbard (trumpet) Joe Henderson (sax) Ron Carter (bass) Tony Williams (drums)

[@kennthparrsh9076]

...wish Lee was still here too..

[@barakados]

Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, Joe Henderson, Ron Carter and Tony Williams. Who can ask for more?

[@marcoathayde42]

Perfection!!!!

[@DarkeningSkies1]

They could have recorded a hundred albums of original material and I would have ‘em all. If Herbie had used them as his group for all or the eighties and nineties (until Henderson passed) it would have been ideal IMHO.

[@ape2reginaforse504]

……the winds, they are so warm, you wear just a smile. You eat and you love and laugh all the while. But beware the happiness! You will get lost in loneliness. The mist from the sea will hide you away. The game that you play will turn night to day. You´ll be gone for sure, my friend! What a foxy way to end!

How is it that every one of Herbie's iterations of this is a classic?! Each performer absolutely top notch here.

[@billstrohler]

I have been listening to this song multiple times with different lineups the last few days. Each one unique and each one perfect.

[@wjcolon]

I'm obsessed with Ron Carter's bass line especially the full note D, it's soothing

[@RonCarterBassist]

Thank you :)

[@stephenclues2948]

All those cats who played with Miles knew exactly how good Freddie Hubbard really was.

[@mananaadamia1657]

I like to listen to this melody also in the version in 2022 ,and also with Stanley Clarke,Wain Shorter , and Omar Hakim (1991)

[@leonardsahn6247]

Yes excellent version live from Japan. 1991 I believe

[@AnnetteMadrid-gw9st]

Herbie Hancock - coming to Portland this September (2023). Got my tickets as a birthday present to myself. Can’t wait!

[@jamesbozzi1713]

such a classic performance by masters of their craft...the best of the best and what an amazing tune Herbie...LOVE IT !!!

[@kevinfrancis6033]

This is some of the coolest music EVER 🎹🎶🎺 hello from Fremantle Australia August 2022

[@jzzft11]

Herbie's solo beginning at 5:40 steals the show by a mile. Best solo ever on Cantaloupe Island by anyone.

[@pedromiyahira6951]

Mr. Herbie Hancock, thank you. From São Paulo City, Brazil.

[@srfotog]

The late, great genius Joe Henderson! What a band of geniuses!!!

[@DarkeningSkies1]

They have all passed except for Herbie and Ron, sadly.

[@daffyduckphd]

My dearest friend, neighbor clued me to Freddie Hubbard - First Light; Red Clay my first jazz LPs.Jazz the music which opens the mind, feeds the soul. Never old.

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

This piece just has such an incredibly timeless and really moody riff. I just love it. And there's always such an incredible lightness to the freestyling that totally kills it. It's really hard to not be blown away by it :D ALWAYS puts a big smile on my face.

Wow. Just wow. Even 23 years later. I'm just in awe and wonder over this. What I wouldn't give to get into Herbie Hancock's head for a song writing session.

Herbie Hancock es un gran pianista de jazz y UN TRABAJADOR INFATIGABLE.!! Hace 30 años estaba aburrido por las calles de mi ciudad Huelva (Andalucía, Spain) en un pequeño teatro se anunciaba que en media hora actuaba Herbie Hancock, ERA EL MISMO MÚSICO DE MIS DISCOS DE VINILO.!!!, en una ciudad insignificante para los grandes espectáculos de música. Entré en el pequeño y bonito patio de butacas y únicamente con un piano ante un grupo de aficionados a la música jazz actuó el maestro internacional Herbie en Huelva ¡¡ es un recuerdo imborrable en mi vida. Gracias por ser un trabajador infatigable y llegar hasta mi pequeña ciudad, le deseo lo mejor y grandes éxitos.... 🎹🎼

[@vegaweb1]

Esos pequeños e insignificantes gestos, son los que marcan la diferencias de los grandes entre los grandes. Me alegro que pudieses disfrutar de su directo, y ante tan reducido público, debes sentirte afortunado y agraciado.👍

[@assisolegario9410]

[@judah49]

Leaving room for improvisation. Humble players know when to get out of the way

[@marksilowitz3196]

The Bass line for this song calls for a vamp, nothing more.If you cannot hear Ron Carter's tone, dynamics and phrasing, if it all sounds the same to you, you need a better speakers. Do check out some of Mr Carter's work with Mcoy Tyner, your opinion will change. BTW, there is a 1990 live version of this tune on KZbin featuring Pat Metheney, Jack De Johnette and Dave Holland. Dave mostly vamps through that one also. And Dave Holland is no"normie"

[@josephtravers777]

@@marksilowitz3196 Ron's work is killer. When my bass player passed a couple years ago, I put together a 30 minute slide show w/ Ron's 'Saguaro' for his memorial. I know he was digging it.
