A couple other things to note about this great trumpet clip. Freddie Hubbard does a nice cadenza at the end and shows off his trumpet style in so many other ways. There is also another trumpet player in the video that sound pretty good. I don’t know his name though. If anyone could help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently this video was taken back in 1984 with the Art Blakey Jazz Messengers in Tokyo Japan. The tune is A La Mode.

One thing I’ve always noticed about Freddie Hubbard is that he likes to takes really long trumpet solos. That’s cool with me, he definitely had the chops for it back in the day, if you know what I mean. I really wish Freddie Hubbard was still alive and soloing all over the place so I can get even more Jazz licks from him.

If you know the chord changes to Joy Spring, there are a whole bunch of great Jazz licks you can get from this solo.  I’m going to go through the Jazz solo and see what I can steal myself.

This is a live 1990 recording that took place in Japan at the Blue Note. I had the opportunity to see the Dizzy Gillespie Alumni All Star Big Band perform at the Blue Note in Japan. It’s kind of cool to see another live performance at the same place years earlier.

Another thing about this Jazz trumpet video, is you can really hear how Freddie Hubbard uses a lot of space in the beginning of his trumpet solo and then gradually builds it from there.

Freddie Hubbard messes around with a lot of motifs in this trumpet solo and how he is able to build off them to make even more creative ideas.

Here is Freddie Hubbard on trumpet back in 1989 taking a ride on The Night Has a Thousand Eyes.

Is Freddie Hubbard the best or what? I will never get tired of this solo.
