....actually, quite informative and entertaining video. Just in case you play trumpet or another brass instrument, I think you might find some trumpet and brass tutorials quite intriguing over at YOURBRASSINSTRUCTOR's Channel.
Even after all these years I love this tune. I know, I know...Maynard's commercial stuff....bla...bla...bla. So what. It's a great programatic piece of music, and Maynard poured his heart into it. Hey ffreguson1975...I'm not ashamed to admit that Maynard is my hero, too! As MFhorn13 said...Never before...Never since. Don't get me wrong, there are lots of TRULY amazing cats out there that I love, but Maynard is one of the true trumpet gods.
the firebird had real issues with intonation....I still wish I hadn't needed to sell it to get a better horn. Now they are worth over $3500.00 (if you can find one)
A lesson to all you trumpeters... Follow your heart, like Maynard did. Maynard was shunned for not being technical enough and not having a pretty sound. He ended up ripping the world apart. You can do it too. jazzlives
@btj89 Absolutly insane. It will never be like this again. Life was so good then. No one before or after Maynard could even begin to attempt such a feat on live tv. WOW!
Gotta love the fire bird trumpet.

That is not a flugel horn. It is a Firebird slide trumpet invented by Maynard.
