Cantelope Island

[@LC3123]

This is pure music. People like me sought this music in New York. We dug deep and hard and found it.

[@PepperWilliams_songcovers]

I had the pleasure of playing with Herbie and composing a song for Freddie. These cats are legends indeed!

[@Fiendhorn]

Joe Henderson approaches his solo in an amazing number of ways, deconstructs the harmony, the modal approach. He was a giant.

[@Ekorn85]

What a man! Just hits the double C in the middle of the solo without breaking a sweat.. Freddie's got crazy skills..

[@davidscott1052]

Vegas Holum yes Freddie did have crazy skills ...but it cost him very dear 😪😪😪😪

[@arckanon13]

how can someone dislike this wonderful video? If Bach was alive, he would be probably jammin' with these legendary jazzers

[@the303fx]

This live version of Cantaloupe Island is the BEST! Herbie plays the piano so funky. The other musicians also are great.

[@ssbtrumpet1]

That may be the best Freddie Hubbard solo I've ever heard. When my daughter was an infant, she literally turned her head while feeding from a bottle when she heard this solo when this Blue Note special was on HBO. Later when Cassandra Wilson came on and started singing, she crapped her diaper. True Story!

[@kurtinny]

The best performance of this classic piece I've ever found on KZbin :)

[@chrisdesire]

L'un des plus beaux morceaux de jazz que je connaisse; souvenirs souvenirs ... d'une lointaine jeunesse

[@armandopace8559]

What a frontline! Hancock, Hubbard, Henderson, Carter and Williams.

[@galleherjazz]

Post bop jazz does not get any better than this. This is a performance to cherish. Everyone is on top of their game. The solo work, the ensemble work--all perfect!

[@kike9980]

Cuando no sé que escuchar, recurro a esta maravilla. Y la vida se ve de otra manera.

[@realbro5548]

The 4 original musicians plus the great Joe Henderson on a serious classic! Don't get no better!

[@DanDanTheBassman]

I love the way Ron just eases into those notes. What a groove.

[@thejoegallo]

Questa si che é una esecuzione strumentale, senza basi e trucchi di computers, Grande.

[@jazz4jean]

i love jazz i think that jazz will never die as a musical style. but whats sad is that now most of our youth dousn't listen to this special kind of music. for all i know lil' wayne can be gone tomorrow but jazz stays forever. i think our youth needs to listen to more jazz and keep the fire burning.

[@Chrisdougable]

Mr. Hancock, you're the Greatest!

[@LiquidDom]

«Jazz is Freedom. You think about that.» T. Monk Freddie Hubbard, one of the last Jazz legends, died one day after my 15th birthday. The day when he died I was watching an interview of him and this solo on «Blue Note - A Story of modern Jazz» and I thought: «This is an historical Solo for the Jazz». Rest in Peace Freddie.

[@intrepidpooch]

We are SO lucky that this amazing moment in musical history was captured on audio and video. Absolutely mind blowing playing by everyone on the stage--and FREDDIE, dear lord! Hearing solos like this, it's no suprise why Hub went down in history as the Don of the modern jazz trumpet (to coin a phrase by my friend Maurice Brown). Hopefully Herbie and Ron will have many healthy and happy years ahead of them. RIP Freddie, Joe, and Tony--your many musical contributions will never be forgotten!

[@elkhartmartin]

i agree. its good. this video nearly convinced me that freddie hubbard was the greatest trumpet ever. rest in peace freddie. we miss your spirit and you will never be forgotten.

[@elkhartmartin]

it seems absurd to say such a thing, but that is the most amazing trumpet solo of all time.

[@raginbakin1430]

That's a great song. We're playing it in our middle school jazz band.

[@alfredmadere9030]

+Eric Huang same

[@raginbakin1430]

Omg what school do you go to? I know a lot of jazzbands use this song but it might be the same one

[@alfredmadere9030]

+Eric Huang Austin waldorf school tx, you?

[@raginbakin1430]

Alfred Madere Oh nvm I go to a school in Cherry Hill, NJ.

[@alfredmadere9030]

+Eric Huang haha ok

[@ginoswansea]

[@qklaracha]

high caliber musicians , never again u'll see in this life , thank god for video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@karenmayorga7352]

This is what I call GOOD MUSIC

[@jeffreyhillmeyer3391]

...as the greatest UNDERSTATEMENT of all time....Karen you're okay, just teasing you...a little bit.

[@KillJesus]

Freddie Hubbard was one of the all-time greats.

[@87vwscir]

Freddie!! Hub you were the man. Thanks wherever you are!

[@gugs103]

Damn, the trumpet solo is pure electric energy. I love this noise.

[@TLundsax]

Damn, Freddy givin' it to that trumpet like it's his prom date!

[@johnydeltablues]

this tune,take five,love supreme,and so what(kind of blue album) got me into jazz...never gets old

[@HitokiriDiaz]

tell curtis mayfield that ;) rest in peace mr hubbard.. thanks for the great music.

[@RazvanFilipCipca]

man, what a groove, so tight and yet so loose, GENIUS.

[@ebald]

Bye Freddie! All jazzmen will never forget this, your legendary solo! Tell to Tony that we miss him too!!

[@theviewermonique]

i've heard this song all over the place as far back as i can remember but i never knew who wrote it. man, we owe the jazz world our gratitude. to do less than honour these geniuses and their work is to do a disservice to american culture and humanity as a whole

[@claryscat]

Deep pocket, deep pockets, pocketatious, pocketized 'n fonkey out too... Freddie Tony and Joe, man... that energy will live forever!

[@comira]

vraiment , merci pour ce bouquet d'artistes; genial

[@Arborwaychet]

Hubbard opens with a lyrical motif establishes the changes ... includes space ... then starts to burn (look at the note he delineates when he goes into the upper register) having grounded the solo he cooks and it is meaningful shit played with intensity and total commitment ... finally he gives primacy to a lyrical approach when he takes it out. A god of trumpet

[@mrtea659]

Yes yes Herbie and Co. Beautiful sounds!

[@elkhartmartin]

my vote for greatest recorded trumpet solo on planet earth.

[@alail28]

That trumpet solo was great. I really love the groove to this song.

[@84Mtac]

This and watermelon man, best two songs ever to improvise to. Me and my friends go at it for hours.

[@mrprogjazzgto]

Such a PERFECT CLASSIC Score..!!! Always glad to hear this..! RIP Freddie..!

[@ejp5485]

I've watched this video on youtube almost every time im online. and every single time i say to myself that this is the best video i have ever witnessed by far. this is jazz and what every artist should strive for, though no one can do it like these guys

[@sefander74]

Whenever I listen to this song, I have to close my eyes, bob my head, and go on the journey to Canteloupe Island with Herbie and the crew. It ain't always the same ride, but its always a good one. Kudos to Hubbard and Henderson for the solo work! esp. Hubbard... good Lord, man! You blowin that thing!

[@keithmaxdesign]

Quintessential modern jazz classic!

[@jeffreyhillmeyer3391]

Wait! Hold the phone! Damn I've been listening to this version now about umpteen times and now marveling at how that mutha**f**g Hancock switches from basic melodic structure of noting to chording and tempo shifting and all in perfect counterbalance to Hubbard's masterful swinging trumpet, pounding out a beautiful rendition that hits so many strides, I cannot keep up or find my stumbling listening skills twirling and almost giving up. HANCOCK just continues to demonstrate he is not human, a fallen angel sent to give us a glimpse of the Empyrean Realm, allowing us to swim in those sacred waters!!! Damn!!!! God Bless Him!!! God Bless Ron Hubbard, Tony Williams, Ron Carter, et al for moving into our world for a brief time to bring utter joy!

[@NotYourTypicalNegro]

This lineup -- doesn't get any better than this...

[@TurambarDJS]

R.I.P. Freddie Hubbard, and thanks.

[@EdgarAllenPwnage]

This is a true inspiration to jazz players and jammers everywhere.

[@amoeba12]

This is my favorite version of this song. This is a group of Blue Note All Stars recorded in 1987.

[@gsman5828]

This is a classic for sure. Guy really knew how to pick the "right" notes.

[@jamstheholy]

Herbie is one of the greatest...fabulous tune and incredible playing!!!

[@kingkiqk]

Awesome music. As I never have been heared before. I like mainly the starting. Great.

[@DYNODRUM]

This is one HELL of a lineup of PLAYERS , JAZZ MEN, FOR REAL ,"LONG LIVE TONY "THANKYOU !!

[@grzesiektar941]

Yeah....there will never be another Freddie and Joe..... ooh RIP TONY

[@imbeatles]

this is the best solo trompet that i ever heared in my whole life...

[@zutrazulli]

Breathtaking!...Amazing!..Love it!

[@TheSilverant]

I wouldn't put quite that way, but your appreciation of his talent is definitely shared by me.

[@iwssonb]

freddie hubbard is my favorite trumpeter to listen to. full of tricks and makes it look easy

[@eleven57icare]

Every jazz trumpeter, student or otherwise, owes him a debt, there was no one he didn't influence with his technique, his soul, his style, his sound.. there was no style of music he couldn't play, I am stunned tonight.

[@areuponderingwhatiam]

This is SO absolutely SICK! Long live the TRUE American art form that is jazz!

[@onthecorner1978]

How many rithms..........i like this Trumpet player. Thanks for posting it

[@Rhytmo2112]

awesome musicians, amazing song, great,great,great!!!!!

[@drwinkle101]

A great tune to blow on for learners and pros alike. Freddie is a pro!

[@speeps84]

Greatest groove ever made EVER

[@9rexun1]

A beautiful recording of some great musicians doing their thing, the production is as perfect as the performance.

[@dandiacal]

Great solo from the great Freddie Hubbard (1938-2008): notice how much blues is in his playing here and how soulful. A lot of younger cats could learn from that. Also he switches it up from chromatic passages to more tuneful ones.

[@zurialjazz]

Excellent talent, could listen to them all day.

[@mrprogjazzgto]

Such a PERFECT CLASSIC Score..!!! Always glad to hear this..!

[@Skipperj]

Timeless Groove Band that never grows old as far as I'm concerned

[@LenonHonorFilms]

Every time I watch this I enjoy it immensely.

[@WilliamAndersonamazing]

The title number recalls an essence of wonderful flavor. A quite good feeling!

[@akira_atf]

This is by far the best version ever!

[@scottspianist]

herbies comping towards the end is incredible, so is hubbards solo, and hendersons AHHH its just incredible!

[@crimfan]

Of the 42 people who DON'T like this video... WTF? This is jazz at its absolute best.

[@axyshay]

Oh man, Freddie Hubbard is amazing. Isn't he?

[@thanoulijonroth]

@occup Tony Williams - Drums Ron Carter - Bass Freddie Hubbard - Trumpet Joe Henderson - Saxophone All of them = LEGENDS!!!

[@elj320]

The saxophonist is the man playing playing the instrument shaped like the letter "J", and standing to the right of the other musicians. The mouthpiece was fit for his, "mouth". Reed is actualy spelled, "read" and yes he could read the english langauge. As for the ligature it was tight.

[@imbeatles]

The best trumpet solo of all times...

[@netehoru]

1985 - the relaunch of the Blue Note Records - February 22, 1985 at Town Hall in New York City

[@zenbooter]

just to be here,and to hear ,is enough ,,everything music these people have laid on the world is maybe not even deserved of the world

[@musicman5117]

I love the groove in this song, FANTASTIC!

[@DannyJanklow]

that pocket is so tight. These guys are truely the best of their time.

[@kingpleasure]

When Freddie takes off on his solo, it's like a rocket launch. He is so hot, his horn is smoking. How he does it wearing a suit and tie is beyond me. This really cooks!! Thanks again.

[@Gorgmeister]

just gotta LOVE that piano!!!

[@Yelnatsax]

this song and version are amazing

[@truro007]

Superb sound.....fabulous muscians.....great jazz standard beautifully played....fantastic....

[@sandykoong]

Had to play this at school. This one is so better.

[@jmsbk12345]

1:42-2:10 Pure jazz. If you had 30 seconds to demonstrate a pure jazz trumpet solo, this would be it!

[@claragary]

True!!!

[@nestaste]

Best Part !

[@imbeatles]

greatest trumpet solo of all times...

[@sikamikanico11]
