"All the trumpet players in the '70s, you can hear Freddie Hubbard's sound and everything worth playing, He's such a phenomenal trumpet player - just the largeness of his sound, the velocity and the swing". Wynton Marsalis
Besides being just a fantastic technician on his instrument Hubbard also pushes his bandmates to really swing on this blues, aided by Blakey and his trademark shuffle. You can also feel the absolute joy and freedom that oozes from these musicians who know each other so well. It’s a blessing that we have this session on film for posterity to see as well as hear jazz played at the highest level possible, by those who invented it.
I can watch and listen to Freddie all day and night. He never gets boring and predictable. He is always adventurous and interesting. A risk taker and innovator.
Freddie has such a distinct sound I would almost call it character. When you see him play you see a grown man but when you hear him he's as playful as a child.
Johnny Griffin,quel improvisateur!L'improvisation géniale,je l'ai vu il y a longtemps,''Au chat qui pêche!''a Paris en 63 ,avec le trio Arvanitas!Quel régal!
This was more likely the fault of the editors who put the show together afterwards, I've noticed some sloppy edits in some of these concerts for some reason, so maybe they showed him clapping but didnt splice it right so the video was off from audio. Just a thought. Still fuckin funny 🤣
