  • Bought this when it came out on vinyl. Still have it!

  • Gooses club...

  • Im not a music aficionado but I hear the echoes a Rocky's "GONNA FLY NOW" in this jazz piece. Makes me wanna go hit the heavy bag.

  • The first time in thirty years for me to hear this. Thank you.

  • Hey it's Maynard, he pushed all the edges baby!

    That's what made him Awesome!

  • It might be Maynard... but it's TERRIBLE music...

  • Uncle Joe Shannon!

  • maynard never played this garbage

  • It definitely is Maynard. See below. Now I have the vinyl-record of these. Why garbage?

  • What makes this garbage?

  • LOL Maynard has about a billion old tracks like this going around. I had a mixtape someone gave to me in high school that introduced me to Maynard (I'm a sax player) and I cannot find ANY of those old songs anymore, unfortunately, and I lost the tape.

  • I have this same cassette. Bought it out of the bargain bin many years ago. The movie "uncle Joe shannon" that this music came from apparantly was a flop according to what I've read about it. good music though.

  • It was called "Dude, WTF?".

  • Yes, it is Uncle Joe Shannon.  I saw it back around 1979 or so. It starred Burt Young, and was unfortunately a complete box office disaster. But for a trumpet player, it does have it's moments, and in fact, I bought a copy of the video off EBAY about 4 years ago. There is a song with Maynard playing with a symphony that is truly unique, where he squeals up to a triple C at the end. I heard it in the theater, and stayed for a second showing so I could hear it again!

  • Thanx for the info. A bought the LP Uncle Joe Shannon online! It came all the way from Richmond VA to Amsterdam the Netherlands.

    Shall I replace this video?

  • Definately if it's better quality!

  • @jazznhorns

    It's "just" a Double C. What you thought was Maynard putting another octave on the last note is the sound of someone in the crowd whistling during the applause.  Still, it's Maynard and it's GREAT.

    Sad story: What prompted my youtube search for this movie and music is that I was going through old boxes from my childhood in my basement, and I came across the record album for this movie's soundtrack! I was ecstatic! But when I took the record out, it was completely warped. :-(

  • It's the soundtrack to "Uncle Joe Shannon". A movie starring Burt Young.
