Maynard Ferguson - Don't Stop Till You Get Enough

[SHiTJuFro743]

Playboy.....

[bearsrule5]

i didn't know seth rogen played drums!

[ultramannick]

Don't recognize most of the personnel except for Stan Mark. Maybe most of them were LA session players brought in for this. That's not Erskine on drums nor is Ron Tooly around. Hm.

[pegsue05]

Maynard and his 80s touring band with many of his most recognizable players. Good stuff.

[toodles248]

1:07 that is quite possibly the sexiest bass player I've ever seen.

[freelockerzstuff2]

1:01 the drummer is tweaked out of his effin mind wtheck

[8xtreme8]

geeezzz hes like mega screaming on trombone

[shires22]

Steve Weist the beast

[andrewoc15]

@shires22 yes...quite a...beist

[boneofthewang]

Steve Wiest has such a funky sound

[thegrandoz]

RIP Maynard. There will never be another like you. You put trumpet playing on a whole new level and changed my playing forever.

[dzzyben]

I could hear all the playmates screaming...that's awesome.

[jimhobbitson]

Is the "bass - man" the same guy who is playing with Jamie Cullum? Do know somebody know this? :D

[swpctx]

@jimhobbitson: I'm not absolutely sure, but I think that's a young Matt Bissonette, around age 20.

[screech57]

Hahaha! You've got to love the ignorant racist comments on YouTube. Go go go!

[durango3000]

way to go maynard! rip michael.

[selector111]

Lol look at the drummer after maynard plays the first time at 1:00 he has a really weird facial expression like he is possesed

[thegrandoz]

I know. If you watch lots of drummers, they all seem to have crazy expressions when they play.

[rhumbaphone]

LOUD NOISES! this reminds me of a joke: why don't gorillas play lead trumpet?

[fagneroli08]

Tema de abertura do Vídeo Show

[selector111]

Awsome!!!, awsome solos, esp. by maynard and by the trombone player, if you were looking away then he played you would look right at the screen lol, nice the fest. suits maynard because he seems like he would be a bit of a pb himself lol just on looks im not saying he is

[paradigmy2k]

wow...i didn't know steve w. played with maynard that long ago. i met him a few times years ago, but it's funny to see him that young. absolutely incredible player.

[ElementalSaxQuartet]

wow. big band got pretty cheesy in the 70's and 80's. this whole thing would have been more effective if they had marched around a football field.

[btj89]

and that's why you play the sax

[josephnigelfrye]

yes this man is intoxicated

[assignmentearth]

Also dig that crazy Steve Wiest solo. It also blew me away. The whole show was very exciting to me. It seemed Maynard and the band were playing at an entirely different level. It's like they all treated it like a playoff game....or NO...like a Superbowl. Yeah,...A Superbowl in the Hollywood bowl.

[assignmentearth]

Where'd you find this?! I've been looking for it for 15 yrs since I lost my video copy. I remember this blowing my young high school mind at the time. We had a cable box, that they were using at the time, that had three rows of buttons. We figured out that you could jury rig it between the 2nd and 3rd rows and the Playboy channel would come in. My Dad pretended he didn't know we could do it. The night this was on we all watched it on the Playboy channel and never discussed how it was done.

[vegandragon]

Im sorry but this is not FONKY enough for me.

[selector111]

Fuck you asshole, these guys are awsome and maynard ferguson is amazing. Why don't you go back to listening to your tasteless shit you call "music."

[AMGalego]

@fctchk Clearly you don't understand that music is one of the only ways cultures connect, and that covers are done to honor artists' creations while putting ones own "flavor" on it. Also arrangements technically mean that you have reworked a piece somehow but it still the same tune. Secondly, I don't see where they are out of tune. Do you know what music is? or did you slam on the keyboard like a monkey and manage to type that out?

[fctchk]

@AMGalego "I don't see where they are out of tune." I don't either; pitch is usually heard, not seen:

Trombones go from A to G at 0:15 and the G goes out of tune starting at 0:17 through 0:18. Trumpets don't maintain pitch on the Ab at 0:34, 0:35, 0:36. Trumpets attempt at unison at 3:17. Compare to the same phrase at 3:20 where they get it (kinda)right (after having practiced it at 3:17 LOL)

Oh wait, is this recorded back in the analog tape days? Must be the Wow and Flutter then.

[AMGalego]

@fctchk look back at the video. for trombones, They slide inward from what looks like 4th position, meaning the note is gonna go sharp. The trumpets maintain a constant pitch at the points you mentioned, and all of those points are equal, meaning it was intentionally done by the section. Congrats for taking the time to spot out how the ensemble takes measures to make performances different from each other.

[fctchk]

@AMGalego Enjoyed your trombonetics (apologetics for bone sections) - deliberately going sharp to vary the performance - very creative (excuse that is). Please do regale us with your trumpetics (apologetics for trumpet sections) and explain why the trumpets are all over the place on the F Ab Bb figure at 3 minutes 17 sec. (start listening here 3:15 to catch it )

[phillytheboneplaya]

hey you dicks i bet neither one of you could even begin to play anything close to the music these men performed so take your tedious comments and shove them up your pessimistic asses!

[Glockyia]

Steve weist is an awesome player .Plays with a real fire and purpose.

[screamfff]

Stan Mark/No jacket @ 3:08. Jacket on @3:13. Next they'll say we never landed on the Moon!!!

[selector111]

lol yeah lol thats good stuff

[flyhoney18]

Whoa. Amazing.

[soulfire2588]

oh...never mind

[soulfire2588]

[johnnyrob1972]

[jtrane234]

Steve Wiest is my favorite. I love him.

[hebronsawyers]

[MFHorn683]
