Those are some killer suits. I think my Grandma has an old couch with the same design! Ha. I love old Maynard clips, he really sounded great. 2:25 is the best I've ever heard that section played, even compared to the studio version of this song that Maynard recording. He NAILS this one.
Yeah, he's pretty much all air, no pressure. His embrochure never really moves when he plays anything. He can solo, too, though most don't think so. He has some cool bebop vids, from back in the day, on youtube.
Not only the best on the trump but could wield the slide 'bone and a couple others really good.
Bats cry out in pain at his high notes......nobody has topped him yet. If they do play as good, they can't say Stan Kenton and Jimmy Dorsey and heavies like that are on their been-there-done-that list.
Haha awesome view mate, I always liked Maynard the most out of them all. He just had everything I was looking for in a trumpet player. Do you have erics version somewhere? I'm curious to hear.
The video version of Englebright's I have he just kinda plows through it, not really that exciting. Shew probably comes the closest in overall feel. Mayashiro - it's clean but he sounds like he's playing an Arban's exercise. I remain consistently unimpressed by Tofanelli playing anything, just don't like his sound. The version I've heard by Sandoval I feel is just badly executed. He makes a mess out of the opening notes and I just don't find it enjoyable to listen to, sorry to Arturo fans.
I couldn't agree with you any more. That's EXACTLY how i feel. I was actually thinking of writing something similar to what you wrote then when i saw this comment i realized it would be redundant. spot on.
Personally I've never heard a version I like as well as Maynard's, particularly the studio version. To be able to play it at all certainly takes some chops but there was just a raw, edgy fire Maynard brought to it that I've never heard from anyone else.
Amazing that it was written by Shorty Rogers who had no high chops to speak of. Clearly an awesome talent to be able to conceptualize a chart utterly outside his own abilities but that fit Maynard so well.
What album was this on?

Woah!! I'm a saxophone player but I thoroughly enjoy listening to a squeeling trumpet and Maynard is just the guy to listen to. Truely remarkable.

@texasboy613 Maynard played soprano sax a bit too =P. Check out others (Jon Faddis, James Morrison, etc)

This is one of the very first jazz songs I ever heard. I have loved Maynard's stuff ever since. He was the man.

I've got the Mayahiro version somewhere, I'll see if I can locate it, but really it's nothing special. Sounds sterile compared to Maynard's.

I'd have to say Scott EngleBright plays it better...not to make a flame war...thats just what i think.
