Freddie Hubbard Live at the Village Vanguard

[@jefferyperkins4668]

You could have sat through this whole night for less than 20 bucks. Hard to believe now. What a joint.

[@brunosantostrp]

🙏🏻🤙🏻

[@ProfRobertStewart]

I had the blessing of working with Freddie twice. There is no trumpeter like him. A truly creative being, indeed. ❤😀🙏🏼

[@brunosantostrp]

Wowww man. That was an honor!!!

[@ProfRobertStewart]

@@brunosantostrp Yes, I really miss talking to & hanging out with him. He kept me laughing. 😁

[@oldGB1]

I knew Freddie, met him in a studio in LA around 1973. He even let me play his horn, the guy was a down to earth dude and an incredible Jazz player. With all the accolades and Jazz fame he was a humble honest man. He told me to always strive to do your own thing musically, but I still try to cop his riffs. RIP Freddie, hope you are up there with Gabriel playing your heart out.

[@elwoodwhite9734]

Are you still playing a little

[@oldGB1]

@@elwoodwhite9734 Sure am at 76 yrs old now. Don't have endurance because I am not gigging. But I play better now than ten years on the road. Have two Calicchio's one model that Freddie played and the other a 1S7 that I am currently using. Also have a Conn Artist but don't play it much. Yesterday was Freddie's birthday too! Happy birthday Freddie!

[@Thouveninpascal]

Can we listen to your music, some records from you to discover, with pleasure, and your name?@@oldGB1

[@jazzlives]

Way cool story. When I was a teen in the 80s I was an upcoming bop tenor horn player and after Miles and maybe Kenny Dorham I thought (as I do now) that Freddie is the best trumpet who ever lived. I always thought getting to work with/for Freddie in his band would be the best possible way to start my own jazz career. And this was not that far fetched an idea either because as a young tenor player I used to practice with a fine talent who did exactly that, tenor player Don Braden.

[@ricaard]

​@oldGB1 you didn't go for the Mercedes model?

[@leasterbusby2530]

❤ Ron Carter, a classical favorite for all times thank you.

[@brunosantostrp]

🙏🏻🙌🏻

[@dandiacal]

R.I.P. Cedar Walton. He was a master of the music, not just on piano but compositionally as well. Never hear him play over Ron Carter's tune Little Waltz before and it is a real treat.

[@jasonwilcox6334]

I was fortunate to see CW play in Miami 20 years ago, such a wonderful evening !

[@Trenchant468]

Just today I was wishing I’d seen Freddie Hubbard live. My older sibling had an album of his, and I would play it as a 12-13 yo back in the early 70’s. I thought he was great.

[@babaakh]

This is jazz played at the absolute highest level. I'm following the accompaniment as much as the soloist. Everything note, chord and phrase Ron and Cedar play sends ripples through the group, the responses from the other members are lightning fast and harmonious--nothing is lost. So much going on here.

[@megasoid]

Astonishing, good Lord.

These cats are all unbelievable, but my God, Lenny White is a national treasure.

[@Jorisvanderkamp]

...and the late great Cedar Walton at the piano!

[@chowter]

Beautiful piano, incredible!!!

[@Gkuljian]

I've hesitated saying this because it's such a broad claim, but I feel that Freddie was the greatest trumpeter to ever live. Perhaps one of the greatest. And I say that as someone who played trumpet starting in 1967 at the age of 9, for what that's worth.

[@riondaniels1901]

I agree totally !!! I am a guitar player and I love Freddie too !!!

[@Funkadelic3]

I would agree. One the best. He could play anything.

[@KickflipGnasty]

@@riondaniels1901 haha woah I'm also a guitar player and Hubbard-obsessed.

[@oaklandtobangkok]

Monster quartet. Incredible music. Great to see Lenny White as he's simply astounding. Cedar is as melodic as always and his touch is sublime. Ron casts a spell in his solos and well Freddie is, well Freddie, magnificent and on top of his form, style and technique. Thanks for posting this work man.

[@brucescott4261]

Cedar Walton's FANTASY IN D was first recorded by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers under the title UGETSU. It was recorded "live" at Birdland on June 16th 1963, in New York City, featuring Freddie Hubbard, Curtis Fuller, Wayne Shorter, Cedar Walton, Reggie Workman and of course, Art Blakey. Reggie is still with us, today.

[@barbaragrant5480]

miles (whom i call "magic"), brownie, freddie, lee morgan probly fave trumpets...saw roy hargrove Vanguard and he is 1 of my faves as well...roy is special.

[@nonh8nsk8r]

barbara grant Brownie Eyes is my all time favorite! Freddie is a close second!

[@HarrisonFerlauto]

Freddie is more musical than ever (on the 1st and 4th tunes). Listen to how he instantly responds to the piano at 4:32. A magical moment in jazz indeed. His 2-5-1 licks are beautifully inventive. Likewise, Walton's solos are masterful. When the greats (thankfully) returned to bop in the 80s, it was particularly fantastic because they played with the hindsight of Bird, but with an additional 20+ years of practice and development.

[@beeshor1]

Can never get enough of seeing Freddie do his thing. Not only was he so technically gifted but his body language when he plays draws you in. He is really playing with all that is in him and the results are breathtaking. I can watch and listen to him and Lee Morgan and Woody Shaw and Blue Mitchell and Donald Byrd and....well, you guys get the general idea.

[@HADJEE]

...and Miles and Kenny and Fats and Clifford and Howard, and Chet...

[@KickflipGnasty]

Dude hell yeah. He, Morgan and Byrd are among my very favorites.

[@MrWilliamayden]

When Freddie gets to rocking, he's fucking wild. Incredible! I saw him at the Apollo. God dam treat. Gee! Freaking Freddie. Insane. Dam...

My Lord, so lyrical. So, so lyrical. I love him. I want to cop his lines. And I'm a Saxophonist! What does this say about Freddie? He's nuts.

[@Sax4Him]

Dave Bass Absolutely worth doing. Many of us sax players learned from the trumpet greats!

[@user-ig7nq7pc7k]

sax4Him I actually did transcribe some Freddie solos, years back, on a bunch of stuff. Great architecture.

[@UkuleleAversion]

+Dave Bass You said it. I'm a pianist and the majority of people I transcribe are horn players, after all that's what the right hand improvisation on the piano is, a horn.

[@colourlessbluethings]

Makes sense actually. I'm pretty sure Freddie mentioned talked about Coltrane as one of his biggest influences.

[@dariocaporuscio8701]
