FREDDIE HUBBARD: 1977 PBS show "Every Tub" 

I saw him in Milwaukee in '76. He did things with the trumpet I didn't think were possible. He played so hard, I thought the trumpet was going to fall apart in his hands. Simply amazing!!!

if you weren't there there, you could't know how glorious this era was. Smokey clubs and analog recording!

A young Carlos Vega with a quick snare change in the middle of trading licks at 24:20.. Wow...

Got to see him live once at a little hole in the wall club just across the DC line in Coral Hills Maryland when I was 17-18 back in the 70's. He was down to earth, sat at the bar between sets and talked to the people. And that cat played his a - - off! My favorite trumpeter from that era. RIP, Freddie.

I hope this gets more views and ears. Freddie's playing has never sounded better and it is interesting to hear the funky grooves.

Even though Miles used to 'shit' on him, I always used to LOVE to hear Freddie... especially when his current band had an 'edge' on it. This music was kinda..soft..MAYBE?!? BUT, it was very groovy, for 1977. Like it was SUPPOSED TO B! He was on the last few legs of his Columbia/Pop-fusion era, which was ONE WAY, in 1970 when it began with 'RedClay,' and SOMETHING DIFFERENT, LIKE THIS, when it ended in 1980, with 'Skagly.' Miles and Freddie ALWAYS believed in brokering new, young talent in their current bands,. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT LEADERS OF PACKS ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. I LOVE FREDDIE HUBBARD!!! HIS MUSICAL JOURNEY WAS JUST AS VALID, AS MILES' IN THE 70s. NOT a period to b undervalued! Freddie was freaking COOL... REMEMBER DAT SHIT!!!

I discovered Freddie's music 2 weeks ago, I'm hooked, it's giving me a major burst of light and Joy, like Lonie Liston, Donald Byrd, Bobby Humphrey

Electric bass sucks.

Wow ive never seen this one before...

This is so hip. Glad to have met you Freddie and always thank you for inspiration . RIP I bet you make heaven as hip as this

Freddy does everything really well. I love it.

such a genius!!!

The totally under appreciated Rick Zunigar plays an incredible guitar solo at 13:03.

Yeh great stuff ✌Freddie should not be compared to miles,they are different players ,and hugh masekala probably different again!!listen to latina,it's on the high blues pressure album it's great**

Fredie was amazing!!! I loved (and still do love) his playing.

This is the same set-up that came to Belgrade Jazz Fest in 1977. Freddie had to have another concert after the festival was over due to an amazing rapport he established with the audience...

Watch at 24:24 on "Blues For Duane" how the drummer switches out his snare as they are trading solo choruses!!

GRANDISSIMO -- FREDDIE HUBBARD:

Priceless.

Freddie Hubbard fue un tremendo trompetista en el mundo Jazz!

Freddy played so hard…. just killed his chops after years of doing that.

They always hedge... "perhaps" the most influential... No "perhaps" about it.

Did this band do an album?

Guitarist is Rick Zunigar

Who is guitarist??

Freddie envoyed by God .

Brilliant playing. Bought the album bundle of joy on iTunes. Inspirational stuff!

Smooth.

I love Freddie playing this funky commercial stuff!
