Herbie Hancock and VSOP Reunion - Eye of The Hurricane 1986

[@jonsilence]

Technically, probably the greatest line-up in moja history.... all GIANTS... RIP Tony...Freddie baby, please come back...PLEASE!

[@jonsilence]

I attended Freddie Hubbard's memorial service yesterday and Herbie Hancock spoke at some length about this very gig, how Freddie was in such command leading the attack. Thanks for posting this. How about part two? If anyone wants to hear some frightening Hubbard shredding, look up 'Freddie Hunnard Umbria' here on youtube (yes, with Hubbard misspelled as Hunnard)...then get ready to sh*t!

[@eugenejaceldo]

thank God for these documentation of these giants!!!

[@pong224]

Man, I will miss this combo forever.

[@Listen4u2b]

The beauty of this music called jazz is how it is artistry and greatness in the moment and long after

[@Dazzer1234567]

this is not for the fainthearted, but is pretty much as far as jazz ever got. After this it could only break apart and explode. Love Freddie's solos and the rhythm section cooking behind him. Herbie kills it.

[@robertvideo]

the hurricane is ONE MAN and ONE MAN ONLY... Tony Williams is the HURRICANE - the rest are just watching the STORM - RIP - TONY ... I love and miss you buddy- RF

[@wenkf]

[@KyleMcHattie]

[@StephRichards]

SO KILLIN' I CAN"T HANDLE IT!! YEAh for posting this thanks so much

[@jazzfan1830]

HAHA...those two people at 7:00 are Harry Pickens and Michel Petrucciani. The tallest and shortest jazz pianists hanging out together. Priceless!

[@Yadada2626]

Legends doing what they do best!

[@Waycool247]

Another truly Dope revelation! Yes!!!

[@robertvideo]

Tillmon Williams: RIP my Friend- The Baddest of the Bad and never ever 2 b replaced

[@adamecomp]

I just don't know else to put it right now... Freddie Hubbard is the Buddy Rich of the Trumpet! EMOTION!

[@ssaxman]

Joe Henderson was a monster ! and in some ways underrated, but they were ALL burning !

[@intrepidpooch]

true that!

[@billtucker4191]

aaaaaaaaaa!!! where's part 2?? how cruel to break it in a mad stream of music pouring out of Hancock's fingers!

[@nolasaxdude]

very cool Freddie is the man!!

[@blessedandjoyful]

that song is still so amazing to me. i love black people.

[@jpfry]

4:01 Ron Carter. Amazing.

[@jintakah]

You can see M. Petrucciani in the middle of the tape.

[@mattmonson7]

[@JazzLovers1]

[@intrepidpooch]

[@TheVoodoomaan]

[@ImanolMiranda]

dude!!! Where's the ending?

[@tunefultonyjohnson4100]

As a drummer you need a very steady left foot to play 4-in-the-bar hi-hat, as Tony Williams manages to do at this kind of fast tempo, methinks....

[@jlevinson6]

What kind of Calicchio is that? Sounds amazing!

[@intrepidpooch]

3/9 Large bore

[@joetube1]

Ron's still around

[@SalaputiabrassDe]

nice at 6:40

[@eatsleeptrumpet]

sorry everybody, but it seems to cut off at 9:23 for some reason!

[@yellowdart6666]

7:03 is that danny devito?

[@monkeys350]

@larry3393 book I have says F minor blues

[@euclid1618]

2:06 !!!!!!!!

[@rushour144]

@adamecomp I would say the Tony Williams of Trumpet! Buddy Rich was a prodigy (as was Tony) but Tony put much more passion into what he played. Buddy was more straightforward soloing, but still more complex than any other solo out there, hahaha! ANd I regard Buddy Rich as one of the (if not THE) greatest jazz drummer ever. I just think Freddie and Tony's soloing style are more on point than Freddie and Buddy's!

[@danielayalamusic]

I just love herbie in this style, but when he started mixing jazz with hip hop and other things i just couldn´t listen anymore....

[@voncoolio]

HAHAHA! Funny comments. Both deserve +.

[@thomashood252003]

i love the internet

[@lljtam1960]

Hey man, Petrucciani ain't short: He's my brother. And he can play his ass off.

[@dq9]

I saw him and thought it was The Penguin.

[@Zager-recap]

How American Gov transform these Black Genius thinkers to an empty hip hop Men? (not all black Americans) ....... 5:08 joe henderson looks like a pyramid... 7:17 Petrucciani when he was jazzkid....

[@amdbaseball51]

thats because of the stupid 10 minute rule on youtube
