What a clip! Jimmy, Stanley & Freddie are straight up smokin' and yes, freddie seems a little extra Jovial on this occasion! And the Japanese certainly get it & appreciate it, sadly even more so than us here in the West!
As a trumpet player, I listen to Freddie in absolute awe. Total commitment to playing a kickass solo every time he picked up the horn. It’s Lee Morgan’s swagger but with more chops. Not saying he’s “better”, but I always think of Lee when I hear Freddie.
Oh man - awesome! Everyone be killin’ it but dayyuummm - Stanley is just SO completely baadd-aasss! Listen to that sound!! So much meat, so phat, SO greazzy. He’s like BBQ for the ears! Think I just gained 20 pounds listening to that one solo….
Two Words: Awesome Performance!! And Congratulations to Kenny Burrell for turning 91 years Young this Year, and to Joe Chambers for turning 80 years Young this Year. May God continue to Bless them both!!
Hmmm .. he's certainly one of the greats, but for me he doesn't QUITE have that military parade-ground SPARKLE that Lee Morgan had; that SPINE-TINGLING attack (as on Wayne Shorter's NIGHT DREAMER or McCoy Tyner's LEE PLUS THREE. Just my honest impression, you but maybe it's true that "comparisons are invidious". (Just for the record, Freddie and Stan -- playing alongside Herbie Ron and Jack DeJ -- play SUPERBLY on a CTI recorded track "IN CONCERT called POVO (Freddie's own composition. Herbie, particularly, is EvEN MORE SCORCHING, ALL THE WAY THROUGH this near-20-minute track, (if imaginable). He doesn't flake out even for a moment: a truly ASTONISHING, edge-of-your-seat track, in my opinion.
@@ianbuxton8332Difficult to compare as Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan had such different styles with Freddie having the Clifford Brown mellowness but Lee Morgan still more of the early Hard Bop attack. This solo here is really good and the high register stuff amazing but my favourite trumpeter is Blue Mitchell at the moment. So many to choose from and all at such high levels of achievement. How these jazz musicians can articulate so flexibly on this crude piece of plumbing with so little help in producing the sound is staggering.
@@michaeld5888 Thanks for this, Michael. I need to listen to a lot more of, particularly, the early-to-mid-'60s Blue Note stuff. My vinyl collection thereof is a fair size but by no means comprehensive. I might EVEN need to dig back into the '50s (something which I seldom do!) to check out the lineage of ideas-- the musical "genealogy" to which you're alluding. Incidentally Freddie DOES deliver a pretty hard-hitting "late-stage Hard Bop" performance hailing from the 1980s: McCoy Tyner's BRILLIANT composition INNER GLIMPSE, part of which is available on this, Brett Primack's -- very own sending list. If you HAVEN'T heard it, HIGHLY recommended, in my opinion!!
@@ianbuxton8332 Well mellow in a relative way rather than pure mellow. I wonder if his time with record producer Creed Taylor who had a mellifluous approach to Jazz did relax Freddie Hubbard a bit. Lee Morgan has a very sardonic almost mocking style with halve valving and very precise tonguing which makes him very unique. More Bill Hardman than Clifford Brown. Probably BS on my part as putting words to this really can get a bit silly. I have the original Sidewinder LP and it still has the price ticket for Chappell & Co. London 2/11 1/4 so it had a farthing added to the 2 shillings and 11p. Van Gelder is etched on the runout which apparently makes it an old recording. I also have the Rumpproller follow up LP which was not so good and probably a bit too much of a contrived follow on to the in Jazz terms hit LP.
All 'giants' on the stage. I was fortunate enough to meet everyone on that stage, except for Ron Carter, Joe Chambers and Jimmy Smith. I personally played with Freddie Hubbard in 1974 when he performed by composition, "For Freddie", in Oakland California. We became friends after that, and 'hung out' on occasions in Los Angeles when he was living off of Sepulveda Blvd in Van Nuys.
I was at this concert. I had back stage access so was able to share a ride out with the musicians in a small bus. I sat next to Freddie and was shocked to see that he was indeed very loose.
Having made noise with a trumpet myself I have some idea how hard it is to play like that. But probably not for Freddie as he was superhuman anyway. I miss him greatly but we have still have recorded moments like this one. Thanks.
A wonderful performance ! Sugar is such a great song to play & it have a groove that makes people dance & clap . Stanley was my favorite tenor saxophonist
Fantastic performance! Turrentine's "Sugar" was one of the first CTI albums I got from my parents. What a joy to see Hubbard and Turrentine reunited here. I love Stanley's phrasing and warm tone, he is one of my favorite tenor sax masters. And Freddie is my all-time favorite trumpeter, although I also love Miles, Chet, Lew Soloff and Randy Brecker. Never had the chance to meet Turrentine in person, but I attended many Hubbard's concerts, and we became friends after I produced a session he did with Brazilian guitarist Roberto Ávila. He was so proud of his CTI albums...! I remember that Freddie listened to the first CD reissue of "Sky Dive" in my house, and he was deeply moved, praising Don Sebesky's scores a lot.
Yeah! Rock solid bass and drums. A huge crowd of jazz fans young and dancing! What times great for these guys. Got to see Freddie a few times Kenny B couple of times Stanley as well. Gracias Bret.
This is an absolute killer lineup. I didn't description before watching video, so it was fun basket of easter egg surprises watching each performer come on screen.
Masters, one and all. It`s so great that Ron is still doing the rounds still. What memories he must have through his incredible career. We`re blessed to have these recordings. Thank you for sharing them with us JVG.
Nice, Brett. Thanks as always. I bought 2 if Stan's albums in 1980: SUGAR and SALT SONG. BOTH of them EXCELLENT. Just about every track. I regard Stanley as SEVERELY underrated. Both technically and emotionally speaking he's absolutely first class. (EVEN his CHRISTIAN contribution titled I TOLD JESUS, with his wife Shirley on organ. Incidentally Jimmy sounds comparable to Joey DeFrancesco here. Even though Jimmy literally INVENTED jazz Hammond organ playing, my impression has almost always been that later others easily surpassed him. Ths only piece that I'd REALLY enjoyed (prior to your sending this) by Jimmy is the all-too-short ORGAN GRINDER'S SWING, but it seems that by 1989, at least, that he's finally caught up with his "children": fast fluid, inventive, exciting and almost effortless-seeming. The true spirit of the most capable and addictive modern jazz, in fact, so THANKS AGAIN for sending!! 👍👍👍😎😎😎
...went there (Guanajuato) over 14 years ago with my ex when I was living in San Luis Potosí. ...and I'll be in Guadalajara next week. Before the pandemic, I photographed jazz musicians in several countries. Chao. Retired Vietnam era veteran, ex Detroiter, expatriate currently living in Colombia and México...permanently.
@@JazzVideoGuy I love it...and before the pandemic, jazz was alive and thriving. Not so much now. Unfortunately, my Colombian brother had to close his jazz club, San Café in Bogotá, after 15 years. I shot there for 8.5 years. Fortunately, a very good friend still operates his jazz club in Medellín, near La Candeleria/Centro...Él Club del Jazz. I usually live in the mountains (Andes, etc.) because life is much better for me there. I divide my time between México and Colombia now. I really like Guanajuato...but walking around town sometimes kills me. ...and I'll be on my way to GDL in 5 days. Chao.
@@JazzVideoGuy I was able to hear Stanley Turrentine play in Seattle back in the 1990s and to speak with him briefly. He was a great player and nicer person.
But yeah now I think about it you're right. Both Sugar and Salt Song albums WERE released about '70-'71, but in another comment about this track I felt reluctant to disagree with Brett's estimate. I must have bought both albums around 1975. Both are superb.
@@JazzVideoGuy Bret, Thank you for this link! I was delighted to go to their channel and the first video is the amazing artist, Astrid Hadad! I love her! I saw her at GlobalFEST NYC about ten years ago and it’s great to see her again! Were you there? Thanks again!
Freddie was great musican , one of greatest! ...seems clashes with rhythm I think guitar chunks a bit 🤔 he's trying to fix them over the solo he does . Cool stuff
Compare Freddie's showmanship with Miles'. Probably a good thing. What worked for Miles--the ultimate King of Cool and Prince of Darkness--didn't always translate to guys trying to be him in the bright light of day.
Yeah....I noticed the same thing! Kenny didn't get a chance to turn it out and work his magic!! By the way, Congratulations to him for turning 91 years Young this Year, and to Joe Chambers for turning 80 years Young this Year. May God continue to Bless them both!!
American musicians can't "samba", Brazilian musicians can't "swing" and poor Japanese fans seem to think that you should clap on the downbeat, it's funny to watch them, trying to dance to the wrong beat. There is surely somethings in Japanese music and way of listening, that I wouldn't be able to feel or understand, not just because I'm not even familiar with any kind of Japanese music, but also because, these kinds of peculiarities are very subtle but deeply rooted, perhaps because, most cultures, evolved separate from each other, until the advent of telecommunications (see, I didn't know that there were two "ems" in communication, why ? 1, because I'm Portuguese and 2, why are there two "ems" ?)
I noticed the same thing about being off the beat, but they are Jamming just the same.....which is the Beauty of Music in General, and Jazz in Particular!!
@@georgeandy6923 I knew that was funny to watch. I am 64 now and it is sad, to watch as people's sense of humor is constrained, by the false notion, that you can't say certain things, without being labeled racist, or anti semitic, or homophobic. Calling blacks African American, seems to be progress, but to me it's just the opposite, as in a "sanitized" way of segregation, like the cigarrete packs, with warnings of smoke being bad for you, as if they care, when the real reason, is simply to avoid lawsuits.
What a clip! Jimmy, Stanley & Freddie are straight up smokin' and yes, freddie seems a little extra Jovial on this occasion! And the Japanese certainly get it & appreciate it, sadly even more so than us here in the West!
Many serious Jazz listeners in Japan.
That's why I love the Japanese because they get it, feel it and understand the spirit 🙌 👏 ✨️
yes!

Lololololol all what you said bro_ been a Stan fan since IN the Pocket back in the days of vinyl!
well said
@@JazzVideoGuy Great clip my man! Never saw that one. Was OD ing on Stan and Lee Morgan all week,and then I saw your post. Thanks!😎😎
Freddie hubbard killed it, he played with so much passion they say clouds caught on 🔥 that afternoon.
exactly
pure magic
Two Words: Awesome Performance!!
And Congratulations to Kenny Burrell for turning 91 years Young this Year, and to Joe Chambers for turning 80 years Young this Year. May God continue to Bless them both!!
Some great Joe Chambers video coming up, recorded at the Mt. Fuji Jazz Festival with Herbie Hancock.
@@JazzVideoGuy Awesome! Looking forward to seeing it! By the way, I have liked and subbed!!
All are masters of their instruments, would have loved to be in such esteemed company. Music at its best.
Hubbard might be my favorite trumpet. Eldridge another. Dizzy. All distinctive sounds. Hubbard the chops big time. Miss them all

agreed
I'm ashamed of not really speaking English but a big thank you for this sublime video ;-)
That’s nothing to be ashamed of,we all speak one language in JAZZ
From one of my favourite albums ever "The Baddest Turrentine" compilation
Love me, some Stanley Turrentine.
So Swingin Good!
A wonderful performance ! Sugar is such a great song to play & it have a groove that makes people dance & clap . Stanley was my favorite tenor saxophonist
in 1989 I was at the performances of Freddie and Jimmy at the jazz festival in Tbilisi. It was fantastic!!!
Was für eine unglaubliche Band.Freddie ist grossartig!! Seine wunderbare Persönlichkeit...
Fantastic . Thanks for sharing !

One of the last great years for Freddie sadly, by the early 90's his chops were gone due to his lip.
Yes, I feel the same...sad story.
Man, Freddie got HOUSE!! 😅😅
absolutely
Did Freddie he tell KB to lay out?
doubt it
I had the same perception, as it seemed to me he kinda complained when Stanley Turrentine resumed in the end.
Bret, will you be able to video excerpts from some of the arts events at the festival down in your town to show us please?
