Hubbard is, like Clifford Brown one of the greatest trumpet players of all time & he was a full fledged musical genius like Clifford was at only 24 years of age. In fact from 4'20 on when the drummer starts diggin' in with Freddie, they start reminding me of how Max Roach & Clifford used to 'get it on'. Check out how great he was Bill Evan's 'Interplay' recorded in 1962. It's a perfect album, every Hubbard solo is a flawless gem - he was like Miles & Clifford.
Wonderful, amazing player. He also wrote some fantastic tunes that hopefully will be rightly recognized for helping evolve the jazz tradition. Thank you for all the great music Freddie Hubbard!!
I have been at this concert. First set : Phil Woods with Tom Harroll, first tune of 2nd set Freddie Hubbard solo with the rhythm section ( this tune), then Tom Harroll appeared and there came up one of the greatest trumpet "battles" I have ever seen. All that happened ~ 1988 in Hamburg, Fabrik. Phil didn´t play at the 2nd set anymore.
I'm not interested in who "the best" is. I love Freddie's music...and also Charles Tolliver, Woody, Fats Navarro. I'm just glad there have been many greats who have given us amazing bodies of work to draw inspiration from.
Thank You for that video! That was round about in 1987 at the Fabrik in Hamburg. I have been there. The first set was payed by Phil Woods , the second part with Freddie Hubbard, without Phil.
Holy crap!!! He tears those changes up like he's floating above the clouds of chords. He reminds me of a jet turbine!!! heheheh. Awesome video! thanks for posting.
Man, Freddie really kills this song. I'm jealous, and I'm a saxophone player (to some those things never interact). But, the real props go to Clifford Brown. Hubbard made this his own, but nobody can touch the original, better or worse. I remember when I first heard this song I tried to play it back for a friend on my horn. What sounded like this in my head sounded like a dying animal to my friend. 8 or 9 years later with all of that practice and I still haven't improved too much. Incredible,
Hey Micah. I appreciate the cool comment. I watch Freddie's vids everyday. If I played a quarter as nasty as Freddie I'd be playing better than half the cats on the scene today. Playing half as badass as Freddie is something I can only dream about!
I must say - everyone mentions Freddie { great } but what a very good drummer -Bill is ! so playing into the groove ;instead of outside of it - it is very difficult to do this -not a technique thing it is more of waiting and anticipating the gaps exelent T.Pope,
Freddie Hubbard was the type of cat that played bebop, hard bop, and post-bop styles from the early 1960s onwards. His unmistakable and influential tone contributed to new perspectives for modern jazz and bebop.
WOOOW, Stunningly wonderful playing, a little long and runs out of steam towards the end but this really is unbelievable palying of the highest level.... RIP Freddie
it´s a pity Joshua, at that time there were coming up the CDs and the first DAT-recorders but not for the poor students as I was at that time. In some television they later had showed that battle and I think the whole concert, but I didn´t record that :-(
@BrunoJazzmanLeicht WOW, He's doing his best Clifford on this one! He was probably better at hanging with a Clifford sound than anyone up until Wynton. Most true jazz affezionatos hate fusion, but I thought Freddie's solo style was made for fusion. He did his best work to late 60s and early 70s funk/jazz.
This is jazz. Sure, we all have musicians that we look up to, and we should try to emulate those same idols when learning jazz. But Freddie Hubbard is a professional among professionals. So why should he try to emulate Clifford Brown? Jazz is supposed to embody individualism, not Xerox copies.
@kingoliver45 People on youtube have a tendency to say things like "(insert musician) is the best (instrument) player ever, nobody will ever be as good as him" Freddie Hubbard was one of the best trumpeters ever, but there is a score of musicians that were also as talented as he was (Lee Morgan, to mention another trumpeter).
@orjazzmicintentions... I hope you say that based on the fact that he almost never warmed up, and not because you think a warmup would help you play half as nasty as Freddie ;-)
@Modes9 - (Guess what? I just found out that TH-cam edits our comments - I guess to make them be more to their liking - just like the 'editors' at the NYTimes 'edit' rearragne their reporters reports. However, it seems the world is going down hill fast anyway regardless if TH-cam edits or doesn't edit our comments so they might as well edit them right?) Anyways why do you & how can you prefer Shaw over Hubbard? Navarro - I think I've heard maybe one record of his so...
Well londonchops, since you asked...First off I'm not big on this youtube confrontation thing. Your user name indicates that you must be some sort of brass player. I myself play trumpet. I meant in no way to criticize Freddie, he is my favorite player of all time and his solo was hot. However any brass player knows what its like to skip your warmup and I was just responding to comments of shakiness at the offset. Freddie admitted this much himself. But no need for hateful comments, ok?
I don't know why I don't get this style of jazz.heaven knows I have tried,for decades..i can't relate to it at all.why would someone with great tone,dexterity and control want to sound like he is constantly warming up to play something beautiful,but never doing?it.it just sounds like a mish mash to me..I get that music can never stay still,but I am so pleased to still be able to regularly go to places to hear trumpet played in the earlier tradition.players influenced by Louis Armstrong,Bunny Berrigan,Charlie Teagarden,Billy Butterfield,Harry James,Bobby Hacket,Herman Autry,Joe Oliver,Ray Nance,Red Nicols,Max Kaminsky,among others..oops,how could I almost miss Bix?.
To me the rhythm section is way off at the beginning of the tune and Freddie has to recover. Freddie lets them play an 8 bar intro and comes in correctly but the rhythm section gets off almost immediately. They recovered in time to play the second A section together but what a mess before that. Freddie plays beautifully here and Clifford plays beautifully on the original. Hard to say one is "better" then the other. Different times, different situations etc etc.....
The pianist plays the wrong chords on the 4th and 5th bar of the first A section. Freddie adjusts his melody a bit accordingly. They recover completely by the 8th bar and are on track going into the 2nd A section.
I don't trust the balance on this recording. The drums are louder than they should be on this recording. Many sound engineers don't understand proper balance for jazz.
What the heck is this?!? This guy plays it like he's totally disinterested in the song Joy Spring, or playing for that audience at all, for that matter. Some technical frills and twirls, so what, who cares? Obviously, he wants to get home and get out of that place fastest. It is a good example of how jazz lost contact with its public. It became licks & tricks for licks & tricks sake.
Hubbard is, like Clifford Brown one of the greatest trumpet players of all time & he was a full fledged musical genius like Clifford was at only 24 years of age.

You are spot on!
Freddie is a total brilliant genius!
Wonderful, amazing player. He also wrote some fantastic tunes that hopefully will be rightly recognized for helping evolve the jazz tradition. Thank you for all the great music Freddie Hubbard!!
freddie always shoots the pianist a look whenever they don't play something just right
It's because he played one of Freddy's licks you can hear it later if you listen closely.
I have been at this concert. First set : Phil Woods with Tom Harroll, first tune of 2nd set Freddie Hubbard solo with the rhythm section ( this tune), then Tom Harroll appeared and there came up one of the greatest trumpet "battles" I have ever seen. All that happened ~ 1988 in Hamburg, Fabrik. Phil didn´t play at the 2nd set anymore.
I always love Freddie's playing. He had so much personality and conviction in his sound. We miss you Freddie.
Freddie Hubbard is my favorite hard bop jazz artist!
Quelle équipe ? magnifique.
I'm not interested in who "the best" is. I love Freddie's music...and also Charles Tolliver, Woody, Fats Navarro. I'm just glad there have been many greats who have given us amazing bodies of work to draw inspiration from.
great musician ... amazing trumpeter ... love this tune/impro
I always feel like Freddie didn't get near the credit he deserved during his time.
Fantastic vid of one of the greatest trumpet players of all time!Thanks!Didn't know Marvin Stamm played drums:)
Thank You for that video! That was round about in 1987 at the Fabrik in Hamburg. I have been there. The first set was payed by Phil Woods , the second part with Freddie Hubbard, without Phil.
Beautiful playing!
Top line jazz: great number, superb playing.
かっこいいとしか言葉が出てこない‼️
Holy crap!!! He tears those changes up like he's floating above the clouds of chords. He reminds me of a jet turbine!!! heheheh. Awesome video! thanks for posting.
I love what Freddie does with that horn!
.....and that's just one piece from an entire show. Incredible!
I Love this song....it was the first song i heard when i first started playing jazz. Freddie is the man!
for me Clifford Brown will always be my favorite..........
Man, Freddie really kills this song. I'm jealous, and I'm a saxophone player (to some those things never interact).
But, the real props go to Clifford Brown. Hubbard made this his own, but nobody can touch the original, better or worse.

Incredible,
Wow. Havent heard Hubbard in a while. Awesome stuff! 5 big ***** thanks! =)))
Je reconnais Bill Goodwin à la batterie.
are you kidding? He plays amazingly!!!! He was a bit uncomfortable at the outset but once he got going he was killin'.
I have a few og records of him! I listen to the all the time
When was this recorded? Freddie playing Clifford - two of the best to ever play trumpet!!
round about 1987 at the Fabrik in Hamburg.
pure joy!
An endless joy spring of music. Gand Maestro.
Awesome, simply, AWESOME
Astounding ! ! ! !
beautiful trumpet playing
Up until right now, I didn't realize Freddy Hubbard was....a Bad Man on that trumpet
I started to subscribe but since i didn't see MR "C" i change my mind maybe next time. Nice Channel
Maybe humanity isn't so bad. RIP Freddie!
Relatable in todays world (10 years later)
Does anyone have the rest of this video? It seems like there's a couple more solos after the fantastic Mr. Hubbard takes a spin. Maybe Phil Woods?
THE JAM!
Hey Micah. I appreciate the cool comment. I watch Freddie's vids everyday. If I played a quarter as nasty as Freddie I'd be playing better than half the cats on the scene today. Playing half as badass as Freddie is something I can only dream about!
The king, when at his best.
Impresionante !!!
le plus grand de chez les grands !
I must say - everyone mentions Freddie { great } but what a very good drummer -Bill is !
so playing into the groove ;instead of outside of it - it is very difficult to do this -not a technique
thing it is more of waiting and anticipating the gaps exelent T.Pope,
the master
Freddie Hubbard was the type of cat that played bebop, hard bop, and post-bop styles from the early 1960s onwards. His unmistakable and influential tone contributed to new perspectives for modern jazz and bebop.
@adeduction My three favorites are still Woody Shaw, Freddie, and Fats Navarro...pretty much in that order.
WOOOW, Stunningly wonderful playing, a little long and runs out of steam towards the end but this really is unbelievable palying of the highest level.... RIP Freddie
The time is always right to check out some Freddie or Woody Shaw stuff...
My man
@ChristianW53 WOw wish you had a tape recorder. Love to hear that!
it´s a pity Joshua, at that time there were coming up the CDs and the first DAT-recorders but not for the poor students as I was at that time. In some television they later had showed that battle and I think the whole concert, but I didn´t record that :-(
Listen again to 0:44 and tell me he's in a hurry. This song is UP. You gotta ride the changes to a certain point.
@BrunoJazzmanLeicht WOW, He's doing his best Clifford on this one! He was probably better at hanging with a Clifford sound than anyone up until Wynton. Most true jazz affezionatos hate fusion, but I thought Freddie's solo style was made for fusion. He did his best work to late 60s and early 70s funk/jazz.
He looked at the piano player like 👀🤣🤣 he was f***in up
Could play this...
This is jazz. Sure, we all have musicians that we look up to, and we should try to emulate those same idols when learning jazz. But Freddie Hubbard is a professional among professionals. So why should he try to emulate Clifford Brown? Jazz is supposed to embody individualism, not Xerox copies.

Another Smoker!
cinq minutes passees c est long long quel coffre!! salut l artiste!!!
This is fuckin baddddd....Master Clifford song,,,this is the stufffff...thanks for posting....yeah
@spikedude001 I know! i noticed that too lol
Its that a mistake that the piano player does on the intro??? Freddie even looks at him ,,, right there on the sixth second...
@orjazzmicintentions... I hope you say that based on the fact that he almost never warmed up, and not because you think a warmup would help you play half as nasty as Freddie ;-)

lol freddies face at 0:06
say what???? oh, i gues you just commented on the wrong song.. ;)

splat city.
where's phil?
Another one of the best beside lee Morgan this is a bad dude...that second line he played was bad....
Rhythm section was struggling here.
Freddie was great as always
@boxing1000 and woody shaw
Who’s the drummer
Nick B. Bill Goodwin
Freddie Hubbard king of shred!
I think that he skipped his warmup for this one.
Are you kidding man??
Is it me or is the DRUMMER a little off just a lttle ?
If that were the case, wouldn't he just have played one chorus? Hmm...
I love Freddie...but he is NO clifford brown...he went crazy in this song....
lol love the look freddie gave the pianist when he fucked up the intro!
I don't know why I don't get this style of jazz.heaven knows I have tried,for decades..i can't relate to it at all.why would someone with great tone,dexterity and control want to sound like he is constantly warming up to play something beautiful,but never doing?it.it just sounds like a mish mash to me..I get that music can never stay still,but I am so pleased to still be able to regularly go to places to hear trumpet played in the earlier tradition.players influenced by Louis Armstrong,Bunny Berrigan,Charlie Teagarden,Billy Butterfield,Harry James,Bobby Hacket,Herman Autry,Joe Oliver,Ray Nance,Red Nicols,Max Kaminsky,among others..oops,how could I almost miss Bix?.

Count the hi hat, listen to Gilmore, He's playing 2 & 4 then comes in.
dawiddy you are wrong
How exactly?
dawiddy they weren’t off. If that’s what you call a “mess” then idk what to tell you.
The pianist plays the wrong chords on the 4th and 5th bar of the first A section. Freddie adjusts his melody a bit accordingly. They recover completely by the 8th bar and are on track going into the 2nd A section.
good, but bad for freddie hubbard, and no where close clifford browns joy spring
I really cannot stand the drummer on this recording. It's like the whole song is a drum solo for him and he doesn't even play well in time.
+StriblinL I actually like the drummer!
As Chet said; "You've got to be a really good drummer to be better than no drummer at all"...... :o
Let those that have ears to hear...
I don't trust the balance on this recording. The drums are louder than they should be on this recording. Many sound engineers don't understand proper balance for jazz.
Bill Goodwin is the drummer. He's very good and was Phil wood's drummer for decades
Not a fan, Freddie is astonishing but his tone doesn't suit Joy Spring. Top notch Hubbard is for sure his earlier albums with Hank Mobley.
Yes, I love the early B.N. records with Hancock & "The Pack".
too fast
I'm simply not in the mood for Hubbard today.
A Player might be technically incredible, but yet ...
What the heck is this?!? This guy plays it like he's totally disinterested in the song Joy Spring, or playing for that audience at all, for that matter. Some technical frills and twirls, so what, who cares? Obviously, he wants to get home and get out of that place fastest. It is a good example of how jazz lost contact with its public. It became licks & tricks for licks & tricks sake.
you ever heard of improvisation? You are not a musician,you know nothing about playing.
