Freddie Hubbard sets the Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers Big Band on fire with Moanin'

[@postatility9703]

Art played this tune probably hundreds of times during his long leadership of the Jazz Messengers. But the joy never left him,as you can clearly see....

Stanley's solo from 5:35... what a run man

Sacrilege! It’s Freddie not Freddy.

One has to wonder what is going on in Freddie’s mind during the guitar solo.

Oh my!

I saw Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers with Freddie Hubbard and Stanley Jordon at Keystone Korner in SF when I was a teenager. I remember Freddie Hubbard played, "Red Clay" and "Moanin" I'm not sure but I think Stanly Turrentine was one of the Sax players if I remember correctly. Thank you for your Post!

[@JazzVideoGuy]

That was one of the great Jazz clubs in history.

Who you telling ? Mean bro

[@PoliticalHumorAndTruth]

I saw Stanley Jordan live in the early 2000's. Tiny little bar. No more than like 75 people. He was amazing.

[@JazzVideoGuy]

very unique player

Always a great Freddy

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Freddie was a trumpet legend, for sure.

[@bf0189]

I love how Stanley Jordan shreds in the solo and doesn't give a hoot!

[@filippoparadiso7907]

I bet everyone, who left an opinion here, would like to play as this man did! Wonderful Freddy!

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Fantastic trumpet player

[@BenjaminWooten-e1u]

He was awesome and me personally I followed his playing and I never knew him to make a bad album I like Stanley Jordan solo on Moaning

[@BenjaminWooten-e1u]

RIP

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Yes, great lineup here.

[@theteetones]

This was so much fun to watch. So many great players in this band. Miss Art Blakey. Freddie’s solo is pure insanity! Such a genius. Love how this is a little over Stanley Jordan’s head but he still holds it together for an incredible solo. I recognize some of the great musicians in this band. Somebody Watson on alto sax maybe? Forgot the tall white guy’s name in the trumpet section. Can anyone shed some light on the players (list them) in all the sections?

[@waynewinborne6462]

Trumpet - Mike Mossman, Terumasu Hino, not sure of the shorter guy; Trombone - Robin Eubanks & not sure, Sax Billy Pierce, James Spaulding, Bobby Watson, Javon Jackson, & not sure; Peter Washington on bass, Stanley Jordan guitar, and not sure on piano - maybe Benny Green. Sorry I'm not sure of everyone and I can't quite see the pianist.

[@robertom5167]

The third trumpet player is Don Sickler.

[@tI-jp8il]

7:12 → Trumpet-Terumasa Hino, Superb teacher Art Blakey ! R.I.P.

[@phillipbrown434]

This was not over the head of Mr. Jordan. He took this classic to new level. That's because music such as this is timeless.

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

Incredible Freddy, sounding amazing. Ur high G was bigger than the whole trumpet section put together.😂

[@ajn465]

For one it’s great to check out art Blakey driving a big band like it’s what he did all the time. And Freddie? Arguably not at his technical egg, necessarily, but generating excitement everywhere because it was what was called for at the moment. Most of it is just about swinging his ass off… Because Art certainly was. And he slipped into sly outside, bebop Toward the end just to let y’all know. On the whole about as interesting a trumpet solo as you’re ever gonna hear🎉 from any big band ever anywhere.

Benny Green - piano, Peter Washington - bass in the rhythm section (besides Stanley Jordan, Freddie and Blakey), saxophones are Billy Pierce, James Spaulding, Bobby Watson, Javon Jackson and David Schumacher, brass is Teramasu Hino, Don Sickler and Mike Mossman on trumpets, and Robin Eubanks and a trombonist I don’t recognize.

[@JL-bu8bz]

The drums in the mix is to loud in the trumpet solo even for a band that have a Drummer as a líder. But great vid. Thanks.

[@baltostar1]

At this point in his career Freddie was spotty. Of course as one of the all-time greats he could still play, but all too often and too early in his solos he resorted to effects, loud playing, and screeching rather than constructing the lyrical soulful inventive improvs upon which he made his name. A far cry from 70s and early 80s Freddie, when he was on top of his game. Sadly crack brought Freddie down and only a few years later from this recording he could not play at all.

[@jazzlives]

I appreciate it when someone tells the truth.

[@waynewinborne6462]

I have to disagree. In 1987 Freddie was still playing at a very high level. He recorded the LP "Eternal Triangle" with Woody Shaw and toured extensively. I have also never heard or read about anyone saying Freddie smoked crack though he may have used other substances. He stopped playing for awhile due to a serious lip injury in 1992 where he ruptured his upper lip and subsequently developed an infection. He returned to playing although not at the same level. Please do not spread untruths or unsubstantiated comments.

[@heifetz14]

Well he would not say it to Freddie in person. Everyone is an expert,even if they cannot play a single note themselves. Great response from you.@@waynewinborne6462

[@randyburgeson8671]

Yeah. You are out of your mind.This guy is a legend.He was playing to the crowd.He also gave homage to some licks.That lee morgan played on the original recording and live recording thumbs down
