honestly, listen to the head. it's a 6-bar phrase repeated 4 times that sounds like an improvised solo, especially with hubbard's embellishments that sound more like random squeaks than a melody. The bass and keys players didn't come in together but they did a fantastic job of recovering and keeping up the level of intensity.

I love at 3:36 where he throws his glasses on the floor! Great player, great solo

They did get lost. If you listen to the piano player she plays the same two bars twice in a row b/c she realized that she was two measures ahead of herself. That was right before Freddie sent her a look of death lol.

I think there was something wron with his lip. He had no lip to play.

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.

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.

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. |
