Freddie's music brings my soul to rest. Whatever the stresses of the day, Freddie and other jazz men and women like him help bring relaxation and serenity. Just so soothing.
RIP Freddie......regardless of what he did in the 80s 90s he was a MONSTER in the 70s thank you for all your amazing playing.....blew this 15 year old hip hop brain out in the early 90s what a loss
This vid blows me away every time I watch. Freddie's cookin', Chick has tasty fills, Stanley Clarke performs pretty much superhuman feats of bassline (and is super tight with Lenny!), and of course, who else has a metal robot percussion rig but Airto?
May your journey into the other side be peaceful, brother Freddie. Rest In Peace, Freddie Hubbard. DURING MANKIND, ONLY five TRUMPET PLAYERS HAVE CHANGED THE JAZZ LANDSCAPE PERMANENTLY: Louis Armstrong, Dizze Gillespie, Miles Davis, Woody Shaw and Freddie Hubbard.
Skagly by Freddie Hubbard is my all time favvorite? The sustained attack is scary but dare I say life changing! Am so sad he is gone,a big heart, big sound, ... and a big loss. .
I appreciate that tidbit! JB and his horn section of Fred Wesley & Maceo really added the accents and color for the sound at that time. Geo. Clinton was a follower/bandmate of JB as well as Bootsy. JB's influence is in GC's P-Funk! How you like that JB in your Funk!!
Down Beat was such an awesome show! And look at Airto... I think he was recording with Deodato around this time too. What a wonderful performance eh? Did you know that Freddie busted his lip one time live and couldn't play for 2 months? Ridiculousness...
Freddie was great! Especially with Art Blakey's group. Sing Me A Song of Songmi was a great album. But what is recorded often is what sells and the best "goes into the air and can never be heard again" according to Eric Dolphy. How true! Go hear some live music! Support Live Music. Support local musicians. They may not always be the best but they are the carriers of the torch. Think outside the Triangle
Wow Freddie basically has the original line up of Return To Forvever.Only Flora Purim(Airto's wife), and Joe Farrell are missing.I love this performance. Does anyone know if the show is available on DVD?Sure wouldnt mind having a copy.
Can anyone tell me why a Maestro w1 is sitting on the amp in the background? I feel like Jazz artists of this era all had one of those but did not really use it.RIP Freddie!
That's great! Where did you get this? I remember seeing this on TV when I was a kid - about 1977. It was part of a show the DownBeat magazine put on. That was Quincy Jones introducing Freddie. Sure would love to see the rest of that great Downbeat program.
Stanley is using an up-beat feel, starting the bass line on the up beat giving it a faster feel, not solaid back as Ron... I dig em both, this record was a big deal to me in 1974, all the cti stuff was new sounding, fresh fusion that now has grown so stale wonder bread toasting sounds better... downbeats gives this 4 stars..
George Clinton figured it out when James Brown's horn section told him about it when they were recording "America Eats Its Young." Clinton was an advocate but not the originator.
mmmmm Freddy, that air hits ya from out of that horn like a fuckin laser. And Chick's got those cool fills... just saw Chick last year in Seattle... I rather seeing someone like Freddy up in front though.
Well, out of those guys, I prefer Clark Terry. After all, both Quincy Jones and Miles Davis credit him as a major influence; I think Terry even informally taught Miles when he was still in St.Louis.
Amazing band as well. Semms like the early Return to Forever backing up. Airto and Stanley Clarke I recognize, but there's the drummer who looks like Lenny White and the Key player isn't Chick Corea?
Well Clifford maybe (after all, Freddie was influenced by him), but in terms of a unique sound and influence on others, I don't see Lee Morgan in there. Woody Shaw for instance is in a whole different galaxy - nobody sounds like him, they never did and no one still does. I included those guys based on that criteria. This doesn't mean I don't love Lee Morgan's albums and his compositions as well, I do...
God, Freddie kills it no doubt !! But god I have to be honest, in my opinion, Stanley just sounds sloppy... completely out of phase with the percussion. Perhaps its the timbre of his bass or the way he slaps? Idk, I'm just having tough time digging the groove...
Freddie's music brings my soul to rest. Whatever the stresses of the day, Freddie and other jazz men and women like him help bring relaxation and serenity. Just so soothing.
Love you Freddie, wherever you are.....hope there really is a heaven, or something like it. Heaven on Earth is hearing and watching Freddie.
Freddie was such a talented creator and player... Love his playing. One of the greatest of ever
This video is awesome. Thanks so much for posting it. I wish I was alive when music television was like this.
I was but I missed a lot of it. Damn!!!!
RIP Freddie......regardless of what he did in the 80s 90s
he was a MONSTER in the 70s
thank you for all your amazing playing.....blew this 15 year old hip hop brain out in the early 90s
what a loss
WOW...Return to Forever behind Freddie Hubbard! What a great combination!!
I love Freddie..Gone not forgotten.
This vid blows me away every time I watch. Freddie's cookin', Chick has tasty fills, Stanley Clarke performs pretty much superhuman feats of bassline (and is super tight with Lenny!), and of course, who else has a metal robot percussion rig but Airto?
He's my #1 influence! Freddie's the man!
Listen to that groove. That bassist is funky. Freddie playing the way only he can play.
One of the first albums I bought was the album that had this song on it. Still, have it.
It's pretty astounding to hear how his tone is still so clear even with all of the moving he's doing!
love this rendition of the song
May your journey into the other side be peaceful, brother Freddie. Rest In Peace, Freddie Hubbard.

Ok that’s right but Maynard Ferguson was great to
Fantastico!
And you wonder why they put Airto center stage.....BRILLIANT😮
when music was real music... I wish I was born 10 years earlier. *sigh*
PURE GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Live TV with the artist being featured is a lost art today! Everybody is playing over a track - even at concerts sometime.
This too will pass.

Airto!!!! The Dude!!!!
6:05 Whoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Airtos's perfonmance is astonishing!!!
Nice bass work by the great stanley clarke,Airto is amazing as always
RIP, one of the true greats.
This is so sweet ...Thank you a million for sharing this GEM.... beautiful
That's how funk was diagramed - on the ONE! Geo. Clinton figured it out. Now its the signature of Funk/P-Funk.
YOU said it MAMA! I am totally with you !!! I get so frustrated sometimes, I have hundreds of tv channels and NOT ONE has any show on Jazz!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Freddie sounds so good. So does the band. Thank you for posting this.
4:12 Airto Moreiro on the beats!
Basicamente é o Freddie Hubbard acompanhado da maior parte do Return to Forever, fera!
@@cabrinibruno Vlw fera
@@daimon00000 Não por isso, fera!
Fantastic Musician. Thanks.
I love Freddy very soul and energetic beautiful
everybody lets loose, Percussion! word.
Down Beat was such an awesome show! And look at Airto... I think he was recording with Deodato around this time too. What a wonderful performance eh? Did you know that Freddie busted his lip one time live and couldn't play for 2 months? Ridiculousness...
great vid! Glad it was some CTI era stuff, most of Freddie's Columbia stuff stunk outside of VSOP and "Super Blue" which has not yet been out on CD.
ah just realized Airto was drumming for Chick in Seattle too. Nice.
All my jazz heroes together! Excelent post Eatsleep!
I grew up listening to airto's Lp's as a kid,
that was some wild shit watching it on video.
Great stuff!
WOW...........Amazing from start to finish! Great post.
Thank you!
god stanley clarke and freddie are on point!!
this is completely off the chain!!!
what a tone - such warmth. great footage, thanks for posting

Support Live Music.
Support local musicians.
They may not always be the best but they are the carriers of the torch.
Think outside the Triangle
Kickin' it
I love that hippie in the background shakin' to the rhythm, RIP Freddie :(
Airto

At 3:07 he turned it up a notch. Fantastic !

great lineup.

Holy crap, Jesus on drums

You think High Energy stunk? It was killer!
Stuck they feet in this!
Joe Hendersn / George Benson / Herbbie Hancock / Ron Carter / Jack Dejohnette / Richie Landrum / Weldon Irvine in 1970 is also great , I guess
this is better than 1970's at Van Gelder studio, I guess.
that's cause it's straight life
Forró!
lenny white
I'm not sure how I feel about Freddie's 'Viva Las Vegas' shirt......
I wonder the same thing, he does not seem to use it, but they sure look good :)
Where are the other downbeat award vids! Would love to see all of them!
mmmmm Freddy, that air hits ya from out of that horn like a fuckin laser. And Chick's got those cool fills... just saw Chick last year in Seattle... I rather seeing someone like Freddy up in front though.
@Mamasan41 Thank you for writing what I have been thinking since Big Fucking brother and the rest of the shit came out!!!
!!!!!!!!!
@Mamasan41 Yeah I guess this is back when the mainstream audience had taste......now our "music" television channels show Jersey Shore
What do you think about Art Farmer, Clark Terry and Roy Eldrige. Not as landscape changers necessarily but in general?
Wow! How did you come by the DownBeat series of performance?
Well, out of those guys, I prefer Clark Terry. After all, both Quincy Jones and Miles Davis credit him as a major influence; I think Terry even informally taught Miles when he was still in St.Louis.
Upload the HD version . 😂
wow, how do you find this stuff? very cool. you tube is great! thx very much for posting!
Does anyone know the touring personnel for Freddie in
Amazing band as well. Semms like the early Return to Forever backing up.
Airto and Stanley Clarke I recognize, but there's the drummer who looks like Lenny White and the Key player isn't Chick Corea?
More cowbell!
Is there anyway to lighten some of these youtube videos? Anyhelp out there?
@betaultragroove Yes, Quincy Jones hosts.
3:36 salt peanuts!
Great clip thanks. Incredible lineup. Airto is a rhythmic genius. Who's on drums and keys?
Chick Corea keys and Lenny White on drums.
Great ! ! ! ! compares to Miles
@Mamasan41
[GLEN FROM COMPTON]
I hear ya! It don't get no "REALER" than this!
2:42
Play Coltrane OLE" ABOUT AMINUTE add STRAIGHT LIFE rught on top as a montaege
needs more cowbell
Well Clifford maybe (after all, Freddie was influenced by him), but in terms of a unique sound and influence on others, I don't see Lee Morgan in there. Woody Shaw for instance is in a whole different galaxy - nobody sounds like him, they never did and no one still does. I included those guys based on that criteria. This doesn't mean I don't love Lee Morgan's albums and his compositions as well, I do...
Woody Shaw is great, but if you're going to put him in your pantheon, why not include Clifford Brown and Lee Morgan?
CLARKE IS PLAYING some weird shit. sounds cracked out.
RTF? WTF!?!?!!
Flora, Al Di....
Holey Crap, how young does Stanley Clarke look????????
God, Freddie kills it no doubt !! But god I have to be honest, in my opinion, Stanley just sounds sloppy... completely out of phase with the percussion. Perhaps its the timbre of his bass or the way he slaps? Idk, I'm just having tough time digging the groove...
I think Stanley's playing is great but I'm not a fan of his tone
