Jeez, thelarmis & Tokyo, where are you? You'd have to be all over this.
You don't hear him do it very often, but Bu can sure work that shuffle!
That is most definitely 'the truth'. Too bad the lights went out just as Jymie Merritt was stepping up to the plate, let alone not getting to hear Wayne (right?), Curtis, or Bobby T. get their hacks.
Leave it to trumpet players posting this, great though Freddie is. They think the whole world revolves around them, and we don't need to hear anything else...
I like some of Freddie Hubbard, but didn't he get a little too high on himself? Yeah, too bad it's not the full length version of that song. Just always thought it was groovy.
Trumpet players being cocky. Huh. Didn't know that but it makes sense. I've always been partial to Clifford Brown.
It's not 'cocky' per se, Alex. It's just that many seem to be overly 'trumpet-centric', and this is case in point. Imagine not letting that world hear the rest of those solos on that track! Like no one wants to or has time to hear what Wayne Shorter has to say on the matter. Pleez...
There is certainly a mindset among many rhythm section players that horn players and singers don't have a clue as to where the engine really is, or how it works. For example, I have a buddy who jokingly, but aptly, refers to horn players as 'fringe cats'...
Yes, Clifford was sensational, and the guy who played on the original recording of "Moanin' ", Lee Morgan, wasn't bad either. I've read in many accounts that Freddie was really a great and generous guy, but I've always had a similar perception to yours that he got a little bit 'high on himself' as time went on.
I'm suddenly reminded of Miles Davis and... "The Cool"!
Thanks for the beautiful sounds, Alex!
I hope we get some truth tonight instead of that damn lie we saw on Monday! Sabathia without a fastball! Pfft! Like blowin' without a horn, man... blowin' without a horn.
i'm way too late to this party! hope hoppystone, alex & jazz tokyo catch this...
[1] i was on a plane to "Jew" Yawk for Seder! i say that in response to Alex's other post i was late to, as well... with all due respect - cute cousin! best she doesn't convert to judaism! ; )
i'm a BIG fan of all this - Buhaina (Blakey), Hubbard (recent RIP), Brownie (listened to his "Memorial Album" on Blue Note yesterday!, Lee Morgan (Alex: VERY impressed you know the Procrastinator - that's a rare one. i recently picked up his 3cd live disc on BN, thusly completing my Morgan BN collection. i think i have 25 of his solo cd's for that label, plus hosts of others with him as a sideguy. he got dead waaaay too early also, taking a slug at Slug's, by his common law wife, at age 33.), and Miles. of course, i have miles and miles of Miles, but also last night, i listened to his Blue Note Vol. 1 & 2 cd's!
[2] thanks for letting me know Reggie Workman is still alive and playing - that's awesome! i've got both him and Jymie on tons of records. iirc, Jymie is a Philly boy (like Morgan) - i played w/ one of his young students at Penn State and the kid was freaking amazing!

Oops, not Jymie. Reggie Workman on bass, as it turns out. Lives here in Montclair, NJ, still playing, wonderful man!

But, boy, could he play!
Word to Lee Morgan! The Procrastinator!

Top class!! Hubbard was unreal, one of the best of all time. And what a band that Blakey had!
Clifford Brown bowed out at 26 in a car accident, one of the few early deaths in jazz that was not from "personal problems" (drugs).
This truth (more of the same in game two) hurts Alex...
