Freddie Hubbard & Joe Henderson - Maiden Voyage 

Freddie is ripping out the most unreal pocket of notes..........and the deepest cat Joe is in the background praying??? God Gawd how intense of a scene is that?? Man!! Thanks for posting this.... It blows me away everything I watch it.......

I was checking out Joe Henderson during Freddie's great solo, it looks like he was praising God too! Imagine being in the midst of that great moment of music-making!

i love when Joe Henderson starts praying at the end of Freddie's solo. Such a spiritual being man...

I only wish I was around at times like this to see this many greats on stage at once. I would give a million bucks to travel back to this day!!!!!

Times never change - Freddie Hubbard tears it up just as much as he does on the album, he's far too underrated.

In memorian Tony Williams and Freddie Hubbard god bless they !!

Freddie, the greatest !!!

Freddie held it down through the 1970s, along with Herbie and Joe while Miles was on hiatus... This is still hauntingly beautiful, despite the video quality.

Before the lip problem Freddie Hubbard was quite simply the best trumpeter. He could be fiery and then tender, tuneful and chromatic. Notice the energy of the motific development phrasing

One of the best things any time Hubbard and Henderson shared scenarios is to watch the way they enjoyed each other’s playing

Damn!!!! This video is FANTASTIC!!! God Bless them all!!!

herbie was just incredible, tony williams as well, great musicians. simply inspiring

Freddie,Herbie & Joe pure magic !

An outstanding composition, recording and implementation of all of the sounds, music and instruments, of a timeless classic in jazz. Freddie Hubbard is wonderful, Joe is awesome, Herbie provides that structure to and that style to the song. The drummer has artistic qualities and he keeps drumming without missing or losing his place in the song. A blend of music that is a treasure trove in contemporary times. Thanks for the post

Every ounce of this performance is beyond divine. But what really makes it special, is the audience. They hung on to every note and cheered them on with enthusiastic reverence .... treating them like the heroic megastars that they truly are.

thankyou lawd thankyou....i'll never run out of inspiration , looking and listening to this . i pray that i'm able to play with the truth of the memory of why this expression of jazz is so intense in the first place...... ohhh .......maiden voyage....and everything leading up to this moment from the top of mt fuji, all throughout the ghettos of oakland, new orleans , detroit ect. just wow...

No words can express the extreme degree of genius present in this video.

Me and Joe understand that this music reaches the heavens

Thank Goodness for uTube and Jazz Fans!! How fantastic to have these videos now!

What cool about this performance, is that everyone on stage (except for Joe Henderson) was on the original recording of Maiden Voyage w/Herbie.

Freddie Hubbard, jazzmen is one of my favorites, I have several LPs. of vinyl touching when younger, thanks, a hug from Peru South America.

This is truly amazing. Whoever captured this event needs to be rewarded handsomely.You can't get any better than this today! Freddie,Herbie,Ron,Joe & Tony doin it to the 10th power!!

Aside from being jazz greats, these guys are also jazz Legends. Just listen and you'll see why......

RIP Freddie, a true jazz innovator

I've watched this a hundred times... so fortunate to have seen all these guys through the 70's and on. All of them architypal monsters on their axes and composers that added much weight to the 'book'. I would like to think that if I was standing in front of Tony and Ron Carter... Herbie... I'd would have to burn through a couple choruses too... heh, heh... yeah, dream on, but such a great clip!

thank you whoever you are that put this here - god how i needed that

Thanks for posting this. I had the pleasure of being on stage in the wings at this historic moment. Fond memories of my interviews with Herbie, Joe and the mad man, Freddie Hubbard. He's a crazy Cat...in a complimentary sense. The Mt. Fuji Jazz series was a world class event filled with aaaawesome moments and performances like this one. What a great three day outing it was. Chilling in the shadows of Mt. Fuji and enjoying the beautiful surrounding lakes with food, drinks and Jazz. Thanks again!

Joe Henderson has inspired me so many times because he is very fluid....you know it's him and he trills, thrills and fills the space with his identifiable tone and personality. Freddie Hubbard v is for virtuoso...Modal music at its finest..ala Herbie...Tony Williams strategically places thunder and hits to move the music forward...while Mr. Ron Carter holds the rhythm and Bass is place...time is everything

This a very timely production of live music that can't duplicated or imitated because of the "gel", spirituality and intense professionalism these artist demonstrated that day. If you could imagine Michelangelo painting the sis-teen chapel on his off day... Tony & Herbie are keeping it together for Freddie & Joe to perform...

How grand. One of my all time favorites. Thx for posting.

Freddie's solo is a trip around the Sun with orbits around the inner planets of Mercury, Venus, Earth, And Mars. Joe's solo, however, is trip through the Asteroid Belt to the outer planets of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and then out to deep space. And Herbie's solo takes us completely out of the solar system toward interstellar space.

Ahhhh sh*t this is beautiful Freddie & Herbie true legends !

those are shots of boats- depicting the theme of the tune "Maiden Voyage" like a ship....on it's first trip think about it

I have to admit that this was Herbie's best years though. After/During the 80's the stuff that was released did nothing for me except force me to start Break Dancing on command... His days with Miles and on Maiden Voyage were among my all time favorite Herbie years. He is still a phenomenal player however.

Thank You!! I love this. especially LIVE.

So so good!

That' drummer omg mixed with Freddie wowwwwww

beautiful scene and beautiful sounds followed by Joehen, unique'est' soloist.

I love Joe Henderson praying in the background. Imagine following that solo by Freddie. Henderson, of course, is one of the greatest, but I'd be praying, too!!

Joe's solo... Woooooo!

No Words can say ...there is THE MUSIC """""""

freddie is killin as always, but man, joe is absolutely insane

This is what music is all about! every one is really enjoying themselves good stuff

So thrilling.......... more like ecstatic! RIP Freddie - you'll charm the angels.

The entire crew phenomenon

We're kindred spirits! Peace and love from Germany/Australia.

mama must be proud of joe henderson and bill russell. two greats from one roof

R I P Freddie 12/29/2008

The 1st jazz tune I ever learned...awesome!

Judging by his cool composure I'd say it's unlikely Joe Hen was high on anything but the moment! He seemed blessed to be in the midst of all that musical greatness....

Herbie Hancock. Genius. I've been listening to him all my life. I'm only 16.

Freddie Hubbard one of the baddest men on trumpet. Commit all sorts of capital offences on his horn. Just nasty.

For my class I'm transcribing this song. I love the melody and changes. I'm just going to toy with the rhythm to sound more like Bachata. It's for my Humanities class. We're studding art during the Trujillo age in D.R.

Joe Henderson literally communing with the Divine at 4.12 !! :D

Herbie was a Monk follower ... and Amazing player. With this Dream Team ? Well ... Nothing to say ... nothing to do ...

PURE GENIUS!!! ENTIRE LINEUP!

Reverence for beautiful playing!!!!

the dream team

Balls. These guys have (had) balls...

Jazz at it's greatest !

Calicchio, I believe. He was one of their Artists for quite some time ~

This can be the VSOP Mark II. God knows I’m a big Wayne Shorter’s fan but Henderson is second to none.

Thanks! Love it!

Play those dirty notes Herbie!!!

Beautiful

superb

Every tree has it's roots

"Also with Herbie Hancock" heh

Great American Artists playing music that gives to the world, bring the jazz back Obama make them your cultural ambassadors, now you have future Detroit and Chicago house New york Hip Hop, spread the love not the bullets dear USA

Yes. This is genius. Oh man, awesome!!!

WHY WHY,I Just want to know WHY! BECAUSE This is MUSIC!

@PhiberOptik001 PRETTY GOOD?!?!?!?!?!?!? You call Tony Williams, just PRETTY good! Pshhhhh, hahahahaha! I would not ever use pretty good with any of these. Genius is an understatement!

How BAD is Ron Carter? Baddest in the biz.

pleas post a second part of this video so we'll get to here herbie plays. +if you any more of that groop/ any other joe hendersones i'll apreaciate if you'll post them too..

before anybody tries to correct me i want to say - yes, i know its herbies band... i just put the two main soloists names on the title because poor herbies solo goes well past the 10 minute mark... enjoy!

Freddie was 70 :(

Also this is the FIRST FUSION TUNE…..before electric axes became the norm.
