Nobody plays like Tom in his prime. Just beyond.

What an amazing concert Tom Harrell has monster chops and an endless flow of ideas. He was definitely in assassin mode knowing Freddie was there. Freddie and Tom both give everything they have, nothing left behind. Freddie is one of the greatest and Tom Harrell is the most underrated players ever. There are many great players out there now but these two guys will never be forgotten. Many people can play, but the ideas and the emotions of these 2 guys is unmatched.

Wahnsinn. Ich habe das damals als 14jähriger im Radio aufgenommen. Immer in Ehren behalten. Und jetzt ist es endlich zu sehen. Ein phantastisches Konzert. Und Naura hatte damals gesagt, dass Woods nur ein Mikro für die Ansagen braucht. Jazz war damals so vital! Er brauchte damals weder Konzepte, Politik oder Gender. Es war einfach Musik. Und die Besten haben ihren Weg gemacht. Männlein wie Weiblein. Oder alles andere. Im Jatz ist alles offen. Nur der gute Spieler kommt durch. Und er braucht Soul und Science!!!❤

Phil Woods was one of the very few people who ever walked the Earth, who could’ve stood next to Charlie Parker and held his own. Now, Tom Harrell won’t be fully appreciated for probably many decades. Hopefully people will re-discover him when they’re ready. When societies biases allow peoples ears to grow large again. And then Freddie Hubbard walks out on the last song, and shows you what it’s like. To paraphrase buddy, rich. What a freaking boss. And extremely high-level playing from the entire rhythm section who are unsung heroes of modern jazz, all.

He definitely could not stand next to bird and hold his own. Even Phil said that.

Conn constellation the best trumpet ever

[@paxwallace8324]

Bird was not only a monster but was innovating at an architectural level. He was a mad scientist man.

Thanks so much for sharing this incredible concert in its entirety!

[@daysroses2931]

You're welcome! 😊

[@josephridder5635]

I was there. I remember it well. After Joy Spring, there was an amazing trumpet battle with Tom and Freddie playing Rhythm changes. Both played long solos, then traded choruses, 8 bars, and more. If that is available, I’d love to hear it.

[@daysroses2931]

I can imagine how it was so amazing to be there! Wow! 👍

[@mattgleason2617]

Tom Harrell’s in assassin mode…! So great

[@inflatedear7131]

The introduction is done by Michael Naura, German jazz pianist and at that time head of the jazz department in the radio station NDR in Hamburg.

Who cares, except possibly his mother.

Fantastic

[@fredelin2580]

It shows when the tunes are well-rehearsed.

[@ssbtrumpet1]

It's a shame we couldn't see Tom Harrell & Freddie trade chorus's

[@tooter1able]

VOLUME

[@ArturoJim]

I agree

[@ArturoJim]

definitely an assassin

[@vova47]

Always strange to see people reading or having music on the bandstand in a small jazz group setting. If they present their music in a concert shouldn't they know it by now?
