From the 1987 Mt. Fuji Jazz Festival - with James Spaulding, alto sax; Renee Rosnes, piano; Kenny Davis, bass; Ralph Peterson, drums. Check out the first few choruses of Freddie's solo, the rhythm section is all over the place on the form and Freddie vibes the hell out of them! It's hilarious... Poor Renee is the last one back on track, he shoots her a glare that could shatter glass.
To quote the man himself, "It's not that easy to play with Freddie Hubbard... ain't that hard either!"

I've been trying to figure out what threw everything out of whack during the first two choruses. Hubbard's last two notes of the theme was actually the start of the chorus. But the bass player wasn't able to nail that down and started later. Then on Eb7, the bass player suddenly plays II-V. Gee, that would throw anyone off.

I read in a book on jazz that Freddie Hubbard played commercially for some years and then had difficulty playing jazz again. Perhaps that is true and this video may be an example. At any rate he doesn't look happy; is he contemplating in what style to play? Here he sounds less boppish and farther out than he used to, but I wonder if that is an improvement. I greatly admired him when he was with Blakey.

No listen.. The problem is they lost the form on a god damn blues. I would be pissed too, especially if it was my gig.

who knows.. I thought it meant start of the 2nd chorus? Or maybe II/V to the top of the tune. Maybe it means, look at these eyes, they shoot lazers!

Play it! Don't spray it...!
Leadership is tough when you are in a set that is under the prying eyes of the authorities. It was a fluke that the first two bars went on that way because of a miscue in tempo. The drummer kicked it off and the rhthym did'nt catch up! Freddie knew it was off from the jump so he was queing them to
get back in two measures of "feel beats" so everyone could be together.

These are great musicians. It shows that it can happen to anyone. But had I been Freddie in the position of being on Front Street with the form going bad, I wouldn't have been so pleased myself. It sure came together, though, and Freddie is hot.

It's not difficult ... ( 4 months ago by Jazzanswer)

It's not difficult to play with Freddie Hubbard. What confused the rhythm section is the line "Hubtones". It is very complex and it is easy to see how anyone unfamiliar with it could find it hard to feel where "one" is. Once everyone finds "one", the rest is easy and Freddie soars.

It does seem a difficult performance. But I like it. My favorite jazz musician. Were those charity glasses? Ha ha. They look like the 2 for 1 type, I had a pair like those years ago. Glad he took them off. It came together well after the glasses were off.

James Spaulding is an incredible alto player and was unfortunately not given the attention he should have received. Check out his work with Wayne Shorter on many Blue Note albums to hear what I mean.

I loved this number so much that I made the head my ringtone. That was a big mistake because after a year of that, everytime I listened to the song on the album I thought my cell was ringing.

you honestly think freddie hubbard was lost? its not his job to catch up to a band who cant play a blues. he's not arrogant at all, and if he was, he has every right to be.
