♫ Fantasy in D / Freddie Hubbard Quartet

[@roddogsmix]

One of my allll timmme faves composed by my daddy Cedar A Walton Jr.

[@lesliehayton2929]

Seen him playing at Ronnie Scott's numerous times, fantastic and a great inspiration!

[@deleox88]

Explosively joyful! ... Props to your dad ...

[@byronwalton4459]

His Rhodes work on those Muse recordings were so tasteful and smooth!

[@dmccauley19]

My wife and I went on our first date and heard the Cedar Walton Trio at the Four Queens in Las Vegas. It was July 1985 and we've been together ever since. So nice to see you remembering your father here. He was an awesome musician. The NPR Monday Night Jazz series was broadcasting that night. We heard Freddie at the Four Queens on another occasion. Great place to hear jazz.

[@MrPuros]

I've never met or heard your father Live. I'm thankfull these vid's excist so we can now enjoy your father's magnificent play.

[@RonCarterBassist]

👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you for sharing.

[@denzaldivar3581]

That is one great Bass player!!!

[@IamSaralinka]

Hats off to Lenny and Ron being the yin and yang and breathing life into this amazing tune 🎶

[@mitchcornacchia968]

That night....the world was a better place. We miss you freddie what a great performance.

[@toddmerriss]

I can't stop listening to this song! I'm addicted to the chords; such beauty and color.

[@roddogsmix]

todd merriss me too!! I listen at least 5x a month or more...

[@lesliehayton2929]

That's a great feeling seeing a well knit organised band going for it , what jazz is all about!

[@sekijou3622]

the whole ugetsu record from the jazz messengers is insane check it out

[@Ewerb7]

Be sure to listen to the original version with Wayne Shorter, Curtis Fuller, and Reggie Workman in addition to Freddie and Cedar. It's just stunning!

[@washingtonfootballfanwgil8392]

One of the most versatile horns of the last 50 years. R.I.P. Freddie.

[@snoopy_next_door]

It's truely a blessing... to be able to listen to this past's beautiful moment, 7000 miles away from there and 40 years later

[@eddielayman3465]

Was at this show at the Vanguard ...Won tickets From WBGO and taped the first set and they made this video of the 2nd so got to see both sets. One live , one video..It was burnin'..!!!!

[@tooter1able]

Cedar! Freddie Ron and Lenny---one of the best aggregations Freddie ever had!

[@dougier4311]

Fantasy in D is Fantastic!

[@roddogsmix]

Thanks for your reply and I appreciate the kind words. His solos take me to an undescribable place most of the time. So fresh, simple sounding yet complex. But it all seems to come together. Freddys 1st wife Brenda is my godmother. Take it easy.

[@darrylherron3451]

Freddie Freddie Freddie!!!

[@Faz99Master]

Talk about going “balls out”! Freddie is always going there!

[@standominguez8172]

Freddie can blow some of that straight ahead jazz. I had an opportunity to see him at Concerts by the Sea in Redondo Beach, CA. One of my favorite songs by Freddie is "First Light", one of his biggest hits.

[@silvestrofassari2354]

"First Light" is an absolute masterpiece!!

[@STRENGTHSKATEBOARDS]

First Light✌🏿😊

[@toddmerriss]

Bop at its best. The only music that I can think of that musicians do that sort of thing often. Parker was the master of that, because he knew all of the popular tunes of the times. It's awesome how the greats just grab those licks out of the air in the middle of a solo and make it blend so well. I can't believe that I didn't notice that one. I think Freddie surprised himself on that one by his expression. hehe

[@brucescott4261]

todd merriss ...Hard Bop.

[@rozenaxsax5133]

One of my all-time faves

[@nancypowell4832]

I am wild for this group!!!!!!

[@MrPuros]

One of those...u know what I mean. Love & respect to all these musicians.

[@William_35]

That well you needn't quote at 4:45 though

[@take5t0ky0j]

It's too easy :) I remember that The Live was played at X'mas season in 1982. Freddie blrw Santa-Claus, & Cedar sketched X'mas in NY by 88 keys perfectly ! Thanks !!

[@JSIN357]

This footage is what reminds me whats great about humanity and the god given ability to create something beautiful that speaks to the soul. Cedar Walton and Freddie Hubbard are always Jazz Masters in my book. I'm glad to see this footage is not lost in antiquity. When I want to feel upbeat I watch footage such as this. Thanks for sharing this great footage.

What, you don't like jazz? This'll cure you. Wish I could have thanked the gentlemen personally. Thanks, gentlemen.

[@rozenaxsax5133]

When people talk abou 0:02 t who the greatest jazz trumpet player was I have always said Freddie Hubbard. Miles couldn't cut a candle to him and before Miles there was Lee Morgan too.

[@take5t0ky0j]

& Clifford Brown & Fats Navarro too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3-2iYaIZcqVrq8

[@rozenaxsax5133]

And Booker Little.

[@Dominos-el7qr]

Umm . . . some cat they called Satchmo? If I remember right?

[@khabasahure9840]

[@take5t0ky0j]

He is Great Pianist,　I'm Fan !!! I agree with you ! This footage makes me happy ! Specialy Cedar's Piano solo !!! You have great Father !!!! Thank you so much for your message & Thanks ! Your Father Great Cedar Walton !!!!!

[@Ewerb7]

Oh Yeah!!! The is Ugetsu from the 1962 album by Blakey! Ugetsu means "Fantasy" in Japanese. Great composition.

[@brucescott4261]

@Ewerb7 ...1963.

[@metallothionein9]

Makes me very happy.

[@medialawprof]

Hadn’t heard this great gem in awhile, from one of my fav groups!

[@toddmerriss]

I love this song! Your Dad was so talented. May God bless you and your family:)

[@paulbailey321]

Anyone notice Freddie's quote from santa claus is coing to town at 4:07?? Hahaha

[@Codemastahbeats]

Paul Bailey then freddie goes "HAHAHAHAHAH!!!"

[@TheRealG2024]

Paul Bailey then Walton drops a monk quote " well you needn't "

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

Geoff Bournes true! 4:45

[@charlesperforms]

I like how he surprises himself

[@IamSaralinka]

At the end at 8:53 he kinda sorta quotes “The Night has A Thousand Eyes”

[@khabasahure9840]

WOW 2021 JUST WOW !!! AND CEDAR WOW

[@zqa12swx]

5:59 Royal Garden Blues? 6:08 Flight of the Bumblebee?

[@Mistergoat42]

It's just wonderfull, but is that me or the musicians are litterally melting? x)

[@philippeclement1570]

Your high on Hubbard.

[@jzzft11]

I was there a couple times that week - it was the middle of the summer and hot as hell in NYC. Thats why we all cracked up when a quote from Santa Claus is Coming to Town slipped out during Freddie's solo. Christmas was an eternity away it was 95 degrees!!!

投稿有難う御座います。これは当時テレビで放映された映像ですか？それにしてもハバードのプレイが素晴らしい。

[@take5t0ky0j]

そうです。　フジテレビの年末(クリスマス？)に深夜の４時間尺位に放送されたビレッジヴァンガードライブVTRでした。　初代クラブオーナーであるマックス・ゴードンのクラブ経営５０周年を祝って開催されたライブでした。　この有名なクラブの名物オーナーのゴードン氏は８９年に他界され、２０２３年の今日ではフレディもシダーウォルトンも故人ですね。　時の流れを感じます。
