Maynard Ferguson - Chameleon

[NaryaRingOfFire]

The lower trombone parts to this song are SO much fun to play!!

[lucariofreak77]

My high school jazz band is doing this..... WOO!

[TommyP993]

@lucariofreak77 Not like Maynard, you aren't

[cherryhead94]

my favorite version of this song, no offense herbie, yours is pretty sick too

[mikedaguy]

This is probably one of my favorite charts we ever played in jazz band.

Bass bone was phat and funky

[sanlindin]

MOOOOOOOOOONSTRO MAYNARD!

[europica]

First time I've heard this version. I love it.

[helloman1556]

I love this song. Our jazz band tried playing it but we never got anywhere near where it was good enough to make people dance in their seats like this.

[Doober50569]

is this song funk?

[kinshasaAPP]

@Doober50569 I'd call it jazz funk, but it sure is delicious.

[MrFinalheart]

This is an incredible song. You can't help but just groove in your seat to it. Prefer Herbie's version, but he's the original, so that's not really a fair comparison. It's rare that a cover is better than the original.

[ducttapenazi7]

I love it when people say they've played this. lol. You haven't played this. You've attempted it. Ain't no Maynard Ferguson, just like the Blue Devils ain't got no Scott Dean. This song is too fat and sexy.

[WarriorMigs24]

I love song ? my favorite

[2xQuarterlbwwitcheez]

we did a this song for our variety show... still not sick of it tho

[GoGiants52]

The best my jazz band at Johnson plays this song. AMAZING

[lilsaxman]

this song is beast.

[lilsaxman]

this songs pretty beast.

[Beefforyou]

Herbie's is still my favourite, but this is definitely my second fave.

[Bigdill06]

this is THE recording of Chameleon and it's funkilicious!

[mikedaguy]

best backround music ever.

[NewEnglandLovesMe]

Can you say slick?

[saxmasta]

gotta dig that groove.

[SeefuSefirosu]

Dig that badassed low brass/bass sound. This alto player says: Support your local LB section, because they'll make the difference.

[tjc197]

Such a nice groove.

[ktrum492]

How high a song goes has nothing to do with how good a trumpet chart goes. It's all about how musical the song is, and this piece is VERY musical.

[thenewchance]

@ktrum492 exactly. Some of my best improvised solos were played without high notes.. And I'm pretty decent at high range myself (nothing compared to this guy though lol).

[mconfes]

Would like to hear your band's version. Feel free to post a video response and let people comment on just how good it is. I'd be REALLY impressed if all of your buddies were grooving like this.

[mammasboyyoo13]

we gotta play n march this song

[iCrusader]

=) Yup , But it sounds really cool ! =) And guitarist is professional]

[bluesguy0524]

Just a standard groove, right?
