That may be the best Freddie Hubbard solo I've ever heard. When my daughter was an infant, she literally turned her head while feeding from a bottle when she heard this solo when this Blue Note special was on HBO. Later when Cassandra Wilson came on and started singing, she crapped her diaper. True Story!
Post bop jazz does not get any better than this. This is a performance to cherish. Everyone is on top of their game. The solo work, the ensemble work--all perfect!
i love jazz i think that jazz will never die as a musical style. but whats sad is that now most of our youth dousn't listen to this special kind of music. for all i know lil' wayne can be gone tomorrow but jazz stays forever. i think our youth needs to listen to more jazz and keep the fire burning.
We are SO lucky that this amazing moment in musical history was captured on audio and video. Absolutely mind blowing playing by everyone on the stage--and FREDDIE, dear lord! Hearing solos like this, it's no suprise why Hub went down in history as the Don of the modern jazz trumpet (to coin a phrase by my friend Maurice Brown). Hopefully Herbie and Ron will have many healthy and happy years ahead of them. RIP Freddie, Joe, and Tony--your many musical contributions will never be forgotten!
«Jazz is Freedom. You think about that.» T. Monk Freddie Hubbard, one of the last Jazz legends, died one day after my 15th birthday. The day when he died I was watching an interview of him and this solo on «Blue Note - A Story of modern Jazz» and I thought: «This is an historical Solo for the Jazz». Rest in Peace Freddie.
i agree. its good. this video nearly convinced me that freddie hubbard was the greatest trumpet ever. rest in peace freddie. we miss your spirit and you will never be forgotten.
I've watched this video on youtube almost every time im online. and every single time i say to myself that this is the best video i have ever witnessed by far. this is jazz and what every artist should strive for, though no one can do it like these guys
Whenever I listen to this song, I have to close my eyes, bob my head, and go on the journey to Canteloupe Island with Herbie and the crew. It ain't always the same ride, but its always a good one. Kudos to Hubbard and Henderson for the solo work! esp. Hubbard... good Lord, man! You blowin that thing!
Wait! Hold the phone! Damn I've been listening to this version now about umpteen times and now marveling at how that mutha**f**g Hancock switches from basic melodic structure of noting to chording and tempo shifting and all in perfect counterbalance to Hubbard's masterful swinging trumpet, pounding out a beautiful rendition that hits so many strides, I cannot keep up or find my stumbling listening skills twirling and almost giving up. HANCOCK just continues to demonstrate he is not human, a fallen angel sent to give us a glimpse of the Empyrean Realm, allowing us to swim in those sacred waters!!! Damn!!!! God Bless Him!!! God Bless Ron Hubbard, Tony Williams, Ron Carter, et al for moving into our world for a brief time to bring utter joy!
i've heard this song all over the place as far back as i can remember but i never knew who wrote it. man, we owe the jazz world our gratitude. to do less than honour these geniuses and their work is to do a disservice to american culture and humanity as a whole
essa musica eu via cortada no comercial da mtv,o mtv nuh! busquei em vários lugares até conseguir por meio de pistas que fui encontrando... muito legal mesmo esse video...
The saxophonist is the man playing playing the instrument shaped like the letter "J", and standing to the right of the other musicians. The mouthpiece was fit for his, "mouth". Reed is actualy spelled, "read" and yes he could read the english langauge. As for the ligature it was tight.
Hubbard opens with a lyrical motif establishes the changes ... includes space ... then starts to burn (look at the note he delineates when he goes into the upper register) having grounded the solo he cooks and it is meaningful shit played with intensity and total commitment ... finally he gives primacy to a lyrical approach when he takes it out. A god of trumpet
Great solo from the great Freddie Hubbard (1938-2008): notice how much blues is in his playing here and how soulful. A lot of younger cats could learn from that. Also he switches it up from chromatic passages to more tuneful ones.
Joe Henderson! ese sonido único de Sax! Genial SOLO! no se me olvida también el gran solo con Horace Silver en "Song for my father", grande entre grandes como Freddie Hubbard y Herbie Hancock, maestros e ingenios pioneros del mejor sonido del Jazz.
Every jazz trumpeter, student or otherwise, owes him a debt, there was no one he didn't influence with his technique, his soul, his style, his sound.. there was no style of music he couldn't play, I am stunned tonight.

Joe Henderson approaches his solo in an amazing number of ways, deconstructs the harmony, the modal approach. He was a giant.
I had the pleasure of playing with Herbie and composing a song for Freddie. These cats are legends indeed!
how can someone dislike this wonderful video? If Bach was alive, he would be probably jammin' with these legendary jazzers
This live version of Cantaloupe Island is the BEST!
Herbie plays the piano so funky.
The other musicians also are great.

What a man! Just hits the double C in the middle of the solo without breaking a sweat.. Freddie's got crazy skills..
Vegas Holum yes Freddie did have crazy skills ...but it cost him very dear 😪😪😪😪
L'un des plus beaux morceaux de jazz que je connaisse; souvenirs souvenirs ... d'une lointaine jeunesse
I love the way Ron just eases into those notes. What a groove.
The best performance of this classic piece I've ever found on TH-cam :)
What a frontline!
Hancock, Hubbard, Henderson, Carter and Williams.
This is pure music. People like me sought this music in New York. We dug deep and hard and found it.
Cuando no sé que escuchar, recurro a esta maravilla. Y la vida se ve de otra manera.
Post bop jazz does not get any better than this. This is a performance to cherish. Everyone is on top of their game. The solo work, the ensemble work--all perfect!
The 4 original musicians plus the great Joe Henderson on a serious classic! Don't get no better!
Questa si che é una esecuzione strumentale, senza basi e trucchi di computers, Grande.

cosa si vuole piu'dalla vita?kuesta musica e'divina i love jazz!!!!!!!
That's a great song. We're playing it in our middle school jazz band.
+Eric Huang same
Omg what school do you go to? I know a lot of jazzbands use this song but it might be the same one
+Eric Huang Austin waldorf school tx, you?
Alfred Madere Oh nvm I go to a school in Cherry Hill, NJ.
+Eric Huang haha ok
Damn, Freddy givin' it to that trumpet like it's his prom date!
Definitely called Cantaloupe Island not cantalope. Either way, this is an awesome version.

Superb sound.....fabulous muscians.....great jazz standard beautifully played....fantastic....
This is my favorite version of this song. This is a group of Blue Note All Stars recorded in 1987.
1:42-2:10 Pure jazz. If you had 30 seconds to demonstrate a pure jazz trumpet solo, this would be it!
True!!!
Best Part !

Kudos to Hubbard and Henderson for the solo work! esp. Hubbard... good Lord, man! You blowin that thing!
man, what a groove, so tight and yet so loose, GENIUS.
Herbie is one of the greatest...fabulous tune and incredible playing!!!
Mr. Hancock, you're the Greatest!
Damn, the trumpet solo is pure electric energy. I love this noise.
vraiment , merci pour ce bouquet d'artistes; genial
Freddie!! Hub you were the man. Thanks wherever you are!
This is what I call GOOD MUSIC
...as the greatest UNDERSTATEMENT of all time....Karen you're okay, just teasing you...a little bit.
it seems absurd to say such a thing, but that is the most amazing trumpet solo of all time.
This is a classic for sure. Guy really knew how to pick the "right" notes.
this tune,take five,love supreme,and so what(kind of blue album) got me into jazz...never gets old
this song and version are amazing
A beautiful recording of some great musicians doing their thing, the production is as perfect as the performance.
high caliber musicians , never again u'll see in this life , thank god for video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes yes Herbie and Co. Beautiful sounds!
A great tune to blow on for learners and pros alike. Freddie is a pro!
The title number recalls an essence of wonderful flavor. A quite good feeling!
just gotta LOVE that piano!!!
Oh man, Freddie Hubbard is amazing. Isn't he?
herbies comping towards the end is incredible, so is hubbards solo, and hendersons AHHH its just incredible!
Awesome music. As I never have been heared before. I like mainly the starting. Great.
Excellent talent, could listen to them all day.
Bye Freddie! All jazzmen will never forget this, your legendary solo! Tell to Tony that we miss him too!!
Magnífica execução de Cantaloupe Island! Jazz popular, comercial, para bater o pé.
Jazz pra ouvir pegando a estrada!
How many rithms..........i like this Trumpet player.

i've heard this song all over the place as far back as i can remember but i never knew who wrote it. man, we owe the jazz world our gratitude. to do less than honour these geniuses and their work is to do a disservice to american culture and humanity as a whole
Amoooo... Tocar essa música é muito bom!
I love this song! A fun, easy groove on bass, but a great piece for a big band jazz ensemble!
my vote for greatest recorded trumpet solo on planet earth.
Quintessential modern jazz classic!
I wouldn't put quite that way, but your appreciation of his talent is definitely shared by me.
Listening to learn jazz style, and this is just the thing!
Dude, this is my favorite versoin of this song..
One of my Favorite solos, I wish this was on CD.
Deep pocket, deep pockets, pocketatious, pocketized 'n fonkey out too... Freddie Tony and Joe, man... that energy will live forever!
essa música me arrepia... ela é demais!!
Breathtaking!...Amazing!..Love it!
Such a PERFECT CLASSIC Score..!!!
Always glad to hear this..!
Simply outstanding!
I like how Herbie plays C#'s over the D minor. And yet it still sounds good. I'm thinking in concert key here for everyone's sake.
This is one HELL of a lineup of PLAYERS , JAZZ MEN, FOR REAL ,"LONG LIVE TONY "THANKYOU !!
What an incredible lineup!
essa musica eu via cortada no comercial da mtv,o mtv nuh!
busquei em vários lugares até conseguir por meio de pistas que fui encontrando...
muito legal mesmo esse video...
Omg. I love you Freddie. And your power stance =)
Figured that was Freddie Hubbard. What an amazing performance! All of them have unbelievable chops! Thanks for posting!
I shall never be able to find an adjective powerful enough to describe this masterpiece and the genius who wrote it
beautiful music !!
By youth you mean how old? I'm 13 and i listen to jazz, it's my favourite kind of music.
Fabulosa performance! El solo de Freddie... simplemente genial!!!!
Monica Leston Así es Moni... un verdadero lujo!
freddie hubbard is my favorite trumpeter to listen to. full of tricks and makes it look easy
that pocket is so tight. These guys are truely the best of their time.
The saxophonist is the man playing playing the instrument shaped like the letter "J", and standing to the right of the other musicians.
The mouthpiece was fit for his, "mouth". Reed is actualy spelled, "read" and yes he could read the english langauge. As for the ligature it was tight.
That trumpet solo! Absolutely great :D
Great playing!!! what a line up!!
This is one of the best examples of the might of Jazz music ever!

Simply Masterful. thanks for the post.. wow!
increible, todo una delicia de jazz. Gracias.

Timeless Groove Band that never grows old as far as I'm concerned
the end of herbies solo makes me sink into the earth in happiness
Joe Henderson! ese sonido único de Sax! Genial SOLO! no se me olvida también el gran solo con Horace Silver en "Song for my father", grande entre grandes como Freddie Hubbard y Herbie Hancock, maestros e ingenios pioneros del mejor sonido del Jazz.
pure magic comes out of those fingers Herbie!
Every jazz trumpeter, student or otherwise, owes him a debt, there was no one he didn't influence with his technique, his soul, his style, his sound.. there was no style of music he couldn't play, I am stunned tonight.
