[trumpet278]

At 2:30 can anyone tell me what kind of mouthpiece that is?

[MrMcFist]

2:20 guy on the right side thinking: "dude... what the fuck? Get your hand off my shoulder!"

But the song 's amazing!

[pesdance]

il massimo della bravura ciao

[DaEpicZombies]

Our band @ school is playing this, with Brick House, You're Still a Young Man, Splanky, and At Last. Stacked jazz line-up. We're gonna KILL IT! :D

[JoeDeZ52]

[reitba99]

danke

[matitoe]

yo vi esto el 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012

[blueagle7890]

first thing i noticed, a wall of trumpet players rofl i really like this :)

[Gajkelley]

Hession obviously has some talent, but he plays like a hack on this.

[panos684]

too bad that i cant play the trumpet and do a pushup at the same time.

[chilton98]

43 people like Justin Beiber better...

[Bgleeson81]

the saxophone is actually groovin on this, but the trumpets just are the powerhouse of this song..

[djhooversalazar]

Nice...!!!

[Toriko97]

does anyone actually know how to play any kind of musical instrument other than guitar or drums?

[TintedRedFilms]

@Toriko97 I do... I don't think it matters though, if you're passionate about an instrument.

[1opuin]

this should be a wrestlers song

[Oda155]

Faboulous, amazing, awesome, genius... But I disagree that Maynard was the best trumpet player in the world!

[reitba99]

extrem super tolle trompeter

[royporing]

patrick hession. is unprofessional!? more practis to get the right tone quality,, tsk. tsk..

[packetito1]

it's amazing

[m4dclaw]

These trumpet-soli were amazing! But i felt sad at the Saxophon-Solo. I thought myself "and YOU're 'just' a drummer"

Damn great!

[rogersdrums1]

This is a great tibute to the "Boss" I must have seen Maynard over 50 times from 1974 right up until he passed away. Maynard and Blood Sweat and Tears were my two favorite bands in high school. My brother and I got to meet him after a show in Providence, R.I. one night. He was a great, down to earth human being . His trumpet playing goes without saying. You always looked forward to a M.F. Concert. The great musicians, the great arrangements, and the medley. R.I.P. Maynard. You are not forgotten.

[xxxmarco187xxx]

the guy who is playing the solo at 2:38 looks like the dude from Hangover..just a bit older

[TheBitchslapyo]

@xxxmarco187xxx That's what I thought when I saw this the first time too!! ahaha

[tpthash1029]

This just brings a smile to my face every time. Proud to be a trumpet player.

[chrism4n14]

That one guy Eric Miyashiro guy is pretty good,

At 4:12 idk who that is, but that part i found kinda funny, but i think wayne could hit those high notes a bit... umm... clearer? Idk the dude on the left sounds kinda tight idk how to describe it, but theyre all really good players though,

[andywalkerplumber]

makes me want to find my old trumpet

[tspruell94]

Damn...wish I could play that high. I attempt to a lot, then I stand up and look at mychair and go "oh look...there's my colon"

[TheLiamDude]

@tspruell94 LOL!

[dthomxa]

1:11 love that high note



[000Silentsniper000]

2:17 he was yawning 

[kike07editor]

cheken el minuto 2:42 el gordito la esta gosaaaaando!!!

[SOMIXable]

wow nice

[SOMIXable]

kako lepo sviraju !!!!!!

[MichaelHehir1996]

Patrick is a great player he just needs to stop listening to Arturo and start listening to Maynard ahah

[Sk8ErM4ngrAmmy]

Yah I popped a boner during this!!!

[CurlyMacFlurry]

Insane!

[khalildeanda511]

my most altime favorite video ever

[khalildeanda511]

i cryd wen i heard that guy scream that part god bless u omgomgomgomgomgomg

[ShootNowAskLater01]

That guy playing the super super high notes was very annoying. His notes were very unnecessary in the way that he had no particular tune with them. He was just playing a random set of notes here and there hoping that he could make something of them. Very unprofessional on his part.

[Brunutrp]

esse vidi e muito chato

[rhamonis]

@Brunutrp

vai ve porno intao =]

[Isa7920]

eric miyashiro venha ao Brasil

[xenimus100]

'sti cazzi

[josetrompetaflamenca]

wtf... Ö

[Tubbytheasheton]

Those guys the greatest amount of ass, those notes were definetely peeling paint off of walls. Tradgedy Maynard is gone, but his spirit lives on.

[TheMarry7]

Als ich finds geil :)

[kipkurrie]

Dumpert!

[TheFirstBloodyNation]

Yo Adrian, WE DID IT!!!!

[sairuokkin]

great! trumpetist! but , more i like is the man who pplay in tenor sax!

[daftpunkperson]

@sairuokkin Bergeron and Miyashiro are both amazing players. But Hession is terrible. none of his notes are phat, they are thin. btw The tenor player is Mark Colby ,im not sure if the name is spelled right.

[khalildeanda511]

@daftpunkperson i swear the asian dude was a beast and the dude in the glasses was a beast but that other guy was aaaaaasssss all The way all he did was fuck everyones ears up (GOD) WIS HIS ASSNESS

[daftpunkperson]

@khalildeanda511 yeah, Eric and Wayne are Monsters. Hession is just a try-hard. his 'screams' are super thin. Im sure i could play phatter stuff than that.

[Jeebsterz]

Those trumpets they..they......OMG sweet

[roserafakb]

Video magnifico muito bom...

[XxanyolinxX]

xvr .......‼

[xXxdesmadrexXx1]

that is to have a great love of music !!

[hk19950329]

mad.....

[trumpetdude654]

@rayrapphael Haha more like, "What now, Eric?"

[trumpetdude654]

Wow Eric was really good

[trompeta2]

asians..

[schilke237]

Man Hession shouldn't have been recuited for this. Not because of his idiotic attempt to outdo actual pros, but because of his whimpy sound compared to those actual pros he was playing with. Pathetic... wayne and eric ripped it up.

[tamthang101]

loved the trumpet solos bravo

[AL15BQMA]

Fugging awesome! 

[CaiaphasFlag]

Anybody else watch this at least once a day? Wow!

[acgijzen]

[rayrapphael]

3:03-3:05. left, silver trumpet = "look ma, triple octaves"

[ryanskapa]

Too bad they couldn't get Kenny G to do that sax solo. ...

Just kidding.

[KqEpNhNiY]

lol the part at 2:18 when his mouth is all open always cracks me up. i hope his breath didnt stink!!!

[sakk3d]

That Killer guitar solo is missing =(

[24SharpCrafty]

GO ROCKO GOO GOO ! perfect movies rocky all series

[CoxYThingZ]

i loved this show

[TheDrPhresh]

I like how Wayne Bergeron had his solo dubbed over

[Atakany7]

I was looking for Gonna Fly Now 's live version for a week. Now I find it thank you for that!

[ThatTumpetGuy]

At 4:01, Eric is like: "yeah, i see you copying me..."

[ThatTumpetGuy]

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SOOO AMAZED AT HOW WAYNE CAN JUST PLAY A DOUBLE A LIKE THAT! LIKE ITS NOTHING! REGARDLESS OF HOW HARD THAT NOTE IS TO PLAY FOR MOST LEAD PLAYERS!

[zachntannerrbeast]

who is lip trilling in the background in the begining? u can hear it good at :23

[oldkame]

they realiy blow my mind

[xXAjSlAyErxX]

I just came....

[OffToMinecraft]

sax aint got nothin on the trumpets here.

[MrOwlyBird]

According to this video, one trombone standing is equivalent to 20 trumpets standing.

[KqEpNhNiY]

@MrOwlyBird lmao apparently!

[CDB1997]

I love how Wayne Bergeron looks angry at the end of his first solo! 2:53

[DomHurley36]

Just how he would of wanted it! Thanks

[overlordspencerman]

Why is my comment gone?

[mhstpt]

There are screamers and there are trumpet players. Sometimes you get both, sometimes...you don't.

[OUTSIDESOUND]

Eric plays not only extreme high-notes but also plays extra rich lower-notes. This is amazing video. Erick was inspired by Maynard's soul.

The soul transferred to Eric is amazing !

[molecular360]

those high notes go right to my testicles

[Iamthatguysbrother]

OMG I JUST HAD AN EARGASM!!!

[DAbest7482]

Im gonna fly now to trumpet heaven :'D

[michaelgalea]

4:11.... gotta love Hession.. Hahahaha

[Corvits]

quei 3 ke fanno le note alte mi kiedo come fanno!!! GRANDISSIMI!

[Snugms]

holy f@#k!!!!

[MrJOFIRST]

For me this is the best trumpet show ever, wow. But now if Maynard Ferguson had been there how would you have call that,?????? Just sick goooose bumps/. damn.

[AirJordan2523]

[gorichin0417]

[kotetsu131]

Goddamnit Miyashiro, you're the fucking MAN.

[carlosz0710]

Yea i dont even need to say anything

[jrtrumpet567]

1,780 people like Wayne and Eric. 39 people want to shove hessions trumpet up his butt and see how high it want's it to go now...

[Mandosoldier1]

[MrAdamitico]

[NatiCasablancas04]

[FullMetalAlchemistRD]

oh my goodness.. this is amazing!

[kilobaitas123]

fantastic

[leaspayne]

they make we feel lik i cant play

[prizes99live]

Lol you could tell whenever Hession played that Eric just looked like he wanted to give Patrick a big slug to the face. (He's trying to be that 5th grade douch that thinks playing really high makes him badass) And very nice transition from dumb fluttering back to actual music 4:02-4:04

[grisznik]

@prizes99live

Yeah, well, you can say what you want about Hession (and some time ago I'd probably agree with you) but the part from 3:37 to 4:38 is my ringtone. I know it even 'more' than by heart and I see Hession's playing as a part of this great piece. It would be different without his pointless screaming, and I probably wouldn't like it. And, also, that ringtone is nice, man. Sometimes I just let my phone ring a bit longer, just so I could listen to this piece.

[WhatTheFlyinFudge]

@prizes99live Dude, trumpet players are complete and total pricks, cocksuckers and douche-bags, all rolled up into one miserable, stinking, festering pile of hot garbage and shit.

I know. I play trumpet.

[CaiaphasFlag]

@WhatTheFlyinFudge :D Ha!

[123456atatta]

Hession is a dipshit

[flyersong]

Brillant!



[hetze500]

so cool!!!!! :)

[ptthebest25]

1744 people can fly

[MegaMaxime62]

super belle prestation et felicitation a Wane Bergeron,Eric Miyashiro et Patrick Hession ce morceau me donne des frissons

[demonyito69]

these guys knew each other way back in band camp

[ALPHABARISAX10]

Replace Patrick Hession with Jon Faddis

and you have a perfect trifecta!

[WhatTheFlyinFudge]

@ALPHABARISAX10 Get rid the corny Japanese dude and replace him with Lynn Nicholson, THEN you'd have the perfect trifecta!

[ALPHABARISAX10]

@WhatTheFlyinFudge Im sorry I know you didnt just say that Eric Miyashiro sux!



[WhatTheFlyinFudge]

@ALPHABARISAX10 No, he's an awesome player, no doubt about that. I just called him "corny" WITHIN THIS MUSICAL SETTING.

This whole event is paying tribute to a player who had one thing going for him: high notes. [my opinion here] I don't think what we're hearing here is very musical. No great ensemble playing, no great jazz ideas.

...and at 3:59 when Patrick Hession wiggles his fingers when he does those lip trills, I just wanna punch him.

[schilke237]

@WhatTheFlyinFudge Idiot, maynard could play high yes, but he had amazing stamina, air support, improv chops, phrasing, an overall overpowering sound... you have no idea... if you think all he could do was play high then you should listen more...

[WhatTheFlyinFudge]

@schilke237 "Improv chops"?? Come on, really. I' rather listen to Lee Morgan, Clifford Brown and Dizzy.

Interesting that you used the "overpowering" and "phrasing" in the same comment. The two terms really don't go together.

[xLODxFASTFIRE]

as they say close enough in tune for jazz lol! but ya its beast

[95HAN]

Thumbs up if you think 2:35 was epic

[cheezyguy3000]

it does to fast slow it down



[Ferdinandbear]

...sehr sehr geil...

[hetze500]

very cool i love this!!!

[Myckst]

vcs sao d+

[elkartian]

We need more Mark Colby tenor cds I been a fan for years where has he been hiding I think he is one of the most underated sax players in the buisness

[beChoiii]

hahaha 1:33 what's the guy in the top right doing???

[D3LPa0N3]

@beChoiii hahahahaha just saw it!

making fart noises with his hand??? :P

[ChiefKibitzer]

Frank Pentangeli on tenor?

[shirleytemple100]

Toll! Klasse!

[ironhorse55mtb]

The best part is when Bergeron comes in and matches Herrion note for note without all that dramatic bullcrap

[tpstrat14]

Maynard flubbed every 10th note or so; he played with a pinched off, narrow sound when he played high and a blotty, uncontrolled sound when he played low. He covered up this blotty-ness and pinchy-ness with wide, obnoxious vibrato in the low register and ugly sounding, wide shakes in the high register. What do people see in this man's trumpeting ability?!?!?!?! Please tell me if you know.

THIS performance of Gonna Fly Now, however, is amazing. Props.

[brassman84]

@tpstrat14 i played with the man even thoe it was in his late years he still had it awsome guy to play with even better guy to be around.there is a reason why all these people look up to him cuz they knew he was the man back in the day. your maybe the 1% of people who thinks like that of him

[tpstrat14]

@brassman84 back in the day, yes, he was good. But when he turned 40, he started playing like total shit. I don't understand how he continued getting gigs...

[tpstrat14]

This was amazing and inspiring. Why they would insult themselves by calling it a Maynard tribute, I have no idea. Seriously, this was millions of times better than anything Maynard ever even dreamed of playing. The man had ZERO musicality. Literally ZERO.

[Csirk11831]

The trumpets were sick as hell, But the Tenor Sax Solo gave me an erection that has lasted for 15 minutes now.

[SpinThePickle]

yes!! i thought the same thing!! and look at the guy next to him, he is say...get this guy off of me freak! at first I thought he was yawning...what a maroooon

[ryanskapa]

What really sucked was that guy singing with his mouth wide open at 2:10-2:24. If he put his arm around me like that and started breathing all over me like that he would have got an elbow full. Ever heard of SARS Mister?

[ryanskapa]

[MRcraaaafty]

YES!!!! GO TROMBONES!!!! :)

[Jazzyness100]

Eargasm....

[Araldification]

How?

[nananclan06]

wow

[iPwnCuz213374u]

lol @ 4:38 sum1 couldnt hit that note xD

[flexwigo]

Ferguson is not the best of the world!!

[ryanskapa]

@flexwigo You're right - he was, not is, the best in (not "of" Mr. Foreigner) the world.

[yu00889]

Don't know about u guys. But I think the saxophone dude is the best.

[ryanskapa]

@yu00889 awesome, but blasphemous to suggest that at a trumpet fest.

[MrGoofySkull]

apart from the trumpets, great saxsolo!

[sajdin1]

Hession obviously thinks that he´s best of the trumpet trio, but true is: You are the worst trumpeter of this group! The best is Wayne (remarkable player) and 2nd is Eric (nice play too).

[Nelliundzera]

34 People can't fly.

[SuperHhhbk]

@Nelliundzera correction 36 cant fly because their moms didnt teach them how to

[SuperHhhbk]

@Nelliundzera like u can

[Nelliundzera]

@SuperHhhbk Who knows? :D

[SuperHhhbk]

@Nelliundzera i was bored so i said it

[MrDelorts]

uuuuuuuuuooooooow!!!!!!!!

very nice!

[schilke237]

Hessian made such an idiot out of himself. Everyone knows that trumpet players ARE the spot light, but he just wrecked himself.

[tspruell94]

Gives me goosebumps and high hopes as a trumpet player myself

[eldepredador19]

El mejor de todos Erick Miyashiro el resto solo improvisa nada mass

[onesirian]

Ya'll are crazy, Hession gets mad props

[sTsC95]

Wayne is a GOD :o
