  • Просто супер...я пока так не могу и наверное не смогу никогда

  • LOL @ The proud hand gestures, useless conductor cues.

    Look mom one hand!

  • It seems like eric always messes up on the last note of every song he plays. He is one of the best trumpet players i have heard but he either hits the note and it doesnt play its full length or it is not the right note.

  • Erick é muito bom!! poderia fazer show in brasiill!!!!

  • Shocking. Big. This is a landslide!

  • At :30 is the famous lead player dismount! =D

  • The best Trumpet "STAR"

  • The band sounds asian

  • I wish they had taken it a little more uptempo. It just loses that magic that Maynard's band had when you slow it down.

  • @StevieHendrix92 See watch?v=Y1QO3nNs25E where Maynard played that part slow too.

  • @Dorgannn that's actually the vid I was referring to. I guess this band is just sloppier overall. This version is a bit slower than that video.

  • Bravo Eric Miyashiro! Tu e teus músicos são demasiadamente profissionais!

  • the best trumpet jazz song ever

  • This style isn't my bag, but he does it really well. Cleaner than Maynard.

  • This cat can play, and he has the credentials. Anyone who doesn't like what he's doing and can't stand to look at him (Maynard was no Cary Grant either), is free to turn it off and do it their own way. How boring music would become if we all had to play trumpet the same way. There's room for every style and approach to the instrument. Perhaps the haters should spend less time watching YouTube, and more time PRACTICING!

  • Me likes much. 

  • Eric is perhaps the closest thing to Maynard we will ever have. Appreciate it while we have.

  • I PLAYED W/ EM IN THE DUES BAND @ BERKLEE...BOTTOM LINE...WE'RE TYPING AND HE'S PLAYING...EXCUSE ME...WORKING...MAKING MONEY TO PLAY...WHAT A CONCEPT !!!

  • he plays laser beams man

  • Steam out of the bell at 1:11 OHHH YES

  • man I just wanna see who all these people are that bashing on Eric...he's one of the most talented and humble players ever! Anybody who can play a horn would know that.  There's are reason all you hater-nobodys are watching HIM on youtube! ha a little funny to me...

  • excellent. a real kick !

  • amazing. great performance!

  • rofl the bad note at 3:30 makes me laugh every time

  • Comment removed

  • rofl at the last note...

    this guy sucks!

  • @freshhh1994 xD thats nice

  • this chick can play!

  • @MrMam16

    It's a guy

  • one word... IMPRESSIVE

  • Wow! Never heard any group play so close to Maynard before. Amazing!

  • MULLET!!!!!!

  • is that a girl

  • >>24xlnsanity

    No, He is male.

  • @LLJtbone

    no this wasn't one of his proteges he just played with maynard a few times during his concerts

  • Look I don't know enough about Maynard but I am curious, forgive my ignorance. Was this guy one of Maynards proteges or something? Wow.. holy scretching..

  • @LLJtbone he was the lead for maynard, buddy rich, woody herman and others, but mainly buddy and maynard. he was the lead for the sammy davis jr. band at age 14.... i just saw him in concert in hawaii two nights ago.... unreal....

  • Crazy tempo, can't believe they pulled it off!

  • great BAND !!! whow..big FUN !!!!!

    HpS

  • i play trumpet

    and i dont get how its even possible to play taht high. its crazy! i max out around an F above the staff, and thats on a good day

  • @ yaymaster11,

    Search "Steve Reid" on youtube and click on the first result. You'll get a surprise.

  • Great sounding drum kit. Very powerful. Wonderful sax work before the trumpet solo.

  • same as MF Version..

  • Awesome!! I want tosee Eric sit in with Conan's band on the Tonight Show. Why don't they do that anymore?

  • Fantastic!!!

  • i really don't like big band music like this, kenny wheeler is far more my cup of tea

  • faster faster faster thats all you can go on about face the fact this guy can play notes us trumpet players only dream about and in tune with the right amount of vibrato i would love to hear all you lot doin it live on stage LOL

  • like comparing apples to oranges...what do they say, 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?'

  • I've done this score

  • I love how Eric acts just like Maynard did. Every time he takes the horn off his face, he does the same thing Maynard did. Great trumpet player. Definitely one of the greatest.

  • maynard takes it faster than this actually.....

  • Comment removed

  • dude, check out maynard's version of this from the Canadian Jazz Festival of 1977. Faster than this and with more power

  • i just saw ... but theres also versions where he takes it slower

  • True. In the album version, Maynard takes it kinda normal speed. But I read that when he did it live, he and his band would see how fast they could take it.

  • nooooooooooo... search maynard ferguson give it one and click on the first video that come up.

    oh and quit using the word "hella"

  • hawvichorst - Click on Maynard's 'Give It One' from the '77 CJF.....it's faster.

  • shit:D!!!! yea! thats cool!

  • Eric

    You so remind me of the master.......great memories.

  • so cool..eric is so great..!!awesome..!

  • Freakin amazing coordination

  • Lol. Eric looks hilarious at 0:30 the way he pulls the horn off his face. it makes me laugh every time.

  • @UNTrumpet13 Weeeeeeeee!

  • eric , you are the man...

  • eric , your are the man...

  • 1:52-1:53 it sounds EXACTLY like maynard's recording XD thats absolutelly amazing!

  • not my style i think...

  • I just shat myself

  • very nice, thanks for upload

  • Damn, that's cookin! Great player

  • A little to ragged, too fast, but still a pretty precise attempt

  • A thought......

    Would really love to hear Eric play something simply with lyricism and passion as an interpretation of a song in his own style. It could be well known standards to start with followed by his own music if possible. Copying Maynard is good for the stratospheres but there is more than copying- one needs to develope what is all his own - I am sure it will come with time. Sometimes- sublime understatement makes a good player great above all others.

  • Aww the last note lol. Still. Closest to Maynard we will see for a LOOOONNNNNGGG Time lol

  • When I first saw this guy I thought he was bad and he needed to get his owns sound and music, but then i learned that by his second year of playing he could play a high g, thats good for anyone, and he learned to play from maynard recordings

  • that's personal opinion.

    I think the tempo is perfect.

  • Wow this guy is really good

  • And why is it you think his looks impact his playing?

  • Comment removed

  • @SpiderMSv88

    And how did I do that?

  • @brian740 Wrong person i meant @1618phi sorry, I don't know this youtube stuff...

  • @SpiderMSv88

    No problems. But I do agree with you on one thing. Eric is absolutely a monster player!!

  • I try to keep away from editing or removing comments, because I think we're all entitled to an opinion. However, that being said, there seem to be a number of inappropriate ones that do need to be removed. Sorry guys and gals..

  • @brian740  Good for you....Don't understand why people have to be such idiots.

  • andy4009, your just jealous cause you can't even be 1/2 as good as he. If you think you are, then your living in a fantasy.

  • I love Miyashiro! She did great with tune.

  • Eric is a guy.. you know.

  • Silly homophobic joke !!!

    Buy is album "Pleiades" and listen his music. It's one of the best "tribute" to Maynard ever recorded.

  • i mean the keyboard

  • hahaha look at 30 seconds he fingers the drummer

  • thats his index finger dumbass

  • that's a guy?!?!?! regardless...."it's" pretty good. good range. work with ur band about staying together. if it's too fast...SLOW IT DOWN!!!! better to be slower and clean the fast and dirty. not bad, though.

  • Steve perry being imitated , now Maynard !

  • fail....

  • Hey, she sounds really good.

  • lmfao

  • I remember listening to Eric Miyashiro in the McKinley HS band in Hawaii in 1980....Hes still awesome baby....giv um braddah..

  • cool. I played with Eric in 1980 too. He was the shit back then. And Chris Botti played in the same band. Eric lead, Chris jazz. What a band!

  • @northshore7x i was in mckinleys band from 86-89, they should really change the name of the band room to the eric miyashiro band room. He is an amazing player, i still have recordings of him playing tartini w/the hawaii youth symphony and his own brother told me he used Mr. Hamms eflat trumpet and played hadyn trumpet concerto in his 3rd year of playing in the eigth grade all 3 movements. he is truly blessed and even when he sat in with our quintet, he had no ego while all our jaws dropped.

  • this guys a beast

  • probably by playing a shitload of intervals

  • It was very good. He is a very good trumpet player! He did have a litle hard time finding the last note. Overall, I felt that it wasn't together that well. It is a very difficult piece to keep together and they did a really good job!

  • Very nice. 5/5. I wish the sound didn't kinda diminish at the end. Just a weird recording.

  • Fantastico Eric!!!

  • es exelente eric es como maynard ferguson exelente

  • i thought it was funny his teacher at the university of hawaii talked about how this guy would be the guy at the feild shows who screamed like crazy.... but he played the entire field show and octave up and the he said he was a weird kid soooooooooo......

  • Of COURSE there there will never be another MF... In this clip, Eric should concentrate on holding out the phrases just a BIT longer... and perhaps a haircut and put on a nice suit. Maynard was always a sharp and classy dresser (as was Buddy Rich and other leaders) WOW what a tribute and a GREAT performance! Just my humble opinion... EVERY night is different when you are ON THE ROAD...

  • who gives a shit if hes not original.. he's still better than most.. so why bad mouth if u can't match up to him!!

  • I actually think this was a good cover of a difficult and brilliant song. This song is done well not just because of Eric only but because of the WHOLE BAND.Maynard's successful approach to music it seemed to me was to have great performers that had the same goal...Make great music.The players in both bands are very talented. I record live and studio music and it's great to record a stunning take.Thanks for the video

  • Gotta disagree with you about Eric. Give It One, was always about being more "showy" than playing it straight as written. I think his lead playing with Buddy's band was really spot on. And his cd's that he's released, with some MF covers but also a number of original arrangements, are really strong. You might give a listen to the youtube clip of him playing Over the Rainbow.

  • @bigpapi1952 No, jealous, judgmental lead players give THEMSELVES a bad rep.

  • He needs to stop trying to be someone else... There will be no other maynard. Hes great, can't say he isn't. Just stop trying to imitate someone down to there last note and body movement... And ouch to that last note lolllll.

  • He looks like a dork.

  • eric is also trying to do maynard's hand motions... he's not pulling it off lol.

    as i said, maynard has more soul

  • wow man...you got destroyed on here.

  • someone needs to get a haircut...

    Great music

  • na i think maynard is better.

    but Eric is an outstanding player no doubt.

    i just think maynard played with more soul and you can hear that.

  • i have no idea why anyone would thumbs down this comment, it's true.

  • he slowed it down just a little bit.  but still very impressive

  • klipp dig!

  • no i just saw eric tonight at a MF 80th birthday bash and this guy is aas close to maynard as anyone will come!!!!!! Well maybe not anyone but hes not a wannabe

  • have to agree for one simple fact, unlike many high note Maynardish players Eric can actually solo. People often forget that Maynard can do more than play big and high. There will never be another Maynard but he's still a hero to many trumpet players, so don't expect people to stop emulating the MF sound.

  • you know i honestly think Eric is a better player than Maynard however Maynard did come up with some great takes on a lot of different tunes that no one can rival

  • Eric is a better player technically...But what makes Eric interesting, or stand out. Amazing player, no doubt, but sometimes with Eric, he seems so focused on nailing everything that it's hard to hear his character. And not just Eric, but a lot of modern trumpet players.

  • if u guys wana learn something new about trumpet check out my vids :)

  • el chino es una makinaaaaaaaa..!!! buen video

  • el chino es una makinaaaaaaaa..!!! buen video

  • Maynard Ferguson kicks this guys ass but that sax soloist is one awsome player

  • Eric Miyashiro was maynards lead player for sometime. He was also one of maynards favorites.

  • Acutally, Eric never toured or was a part of Maynard's band. There are some clips of him sitting in during some festivals, but thats about it.

  • This recording is really nice and all, but its like comparing Tang to real orange juice (Maynard). The Boss was the very best there ever was.

  • you do not understand what Maynard was about. it wasnt about being the most technically proficient at his instrument. he was about having fun making music, and playing with soul. He sounded the way he did not because he couldn't sound the "clean" way but because he wanted too. You can't compare Maynard to his lead players or any other trumpet player for that matter. It's like comparing two oranges from different groves. Both may taste good, but in a completely different way.

  • thanks.

  • EXACTLY mynameisdan. I'm glad somebody else understands. MF was an amazing musician but he was about enjoying music and playing fun songs. He teaches the lesson that you don't have to play 16th note runs triple tongued to make a good song.

  • too fast

  • Impossible to be too fast.

  • pysco LMFAO AT u man. I feel bad for you cuz u dont know shit. Pls stop searching trumpet videos and go back to searching recorders.

  • Interesting how Doc Severinsen thinks very, very highly of Maynard while you do not.

  • I think if you were to ask Dave Stahl, I already know Wayne's answer, it would be that MF was the absolute BEST. While I will agree that his stamina and playing did decline near the end, give me a break! The guy was in his 70's! And even then, he still didn't just "squeak" in the upper register. He could still cover a band if he wanted. But even his 50's and 60's, his playing was ungodly. Don't kid yourself. For sound, accuracy and stamina in the upper register.. he was the best ever.

  • Maynard was one of the greatest. End of story. You may need to belittle others to make yourself feel good, but Maynard will always be great.

  • really not the same.Maynards got so much more energy and rocks too.

  • Seriously? First of all, Maynard was NOT a lead player. He was a squealer. He had a lead player in the band...you can't compare Maynard to Bergeron or Stahl, because HE WASN'T A LEAD PLAYER. Maynard will forever be remembered because he made the TRUMPET popular in ROCK MUSIC, something UNHEARD of in his time. Maynard was an innovator, a legend. You can't talk badly about him until you really understand what he did for trumpet players everywhere. This comment is completely uninformed.

  • Seriously gbrahler I agree with you 100 % , there was only one Maynard, what a great pleasure it was to get to meet him and hear him play the trumpet.

    Maynard invented the genre that others only imitate.

    MIKEY

  • While MF didn't play a lot of lead, he certainly could. In the 50's he was the first call trumpeter for Paramount Pictures. Also, give a listen to Buddy Bregman's album Swinging Kicks. The first number he covers the lead line with Conrad Gozzo... but up an octave.

  • Just because he plays up doesnt mean he's a lead player though. He did occasionally play lead with some groups but it just wasn't his bag. He was a solo scream trumpet. You can hear his best example of lead playing on the Kenton in Hi-Fi album. He's a good lead player, but you can tell that what he did with his bands is where is bag was.

  • I think if he can handle the BR lead book, then he's a more than fine lead player IMO

  • i was referring to MF...not eric....

  • Maynard was actually a very good lead player. Listen to him on the Shorty Rogers Big Band recordings of the mid 50s. That brass section sounds so good because of Maynard. Anyone who has any doubts about Maynard's abilities should see the video of him with Stan Kenton on the Ed Sullivan show. Amazing.

  • I wasn't saying he wasn't a good lead player, I said that he was a good lead player, but a lead player just isn't what he was.

  • Dude, shut it. Go play on your flute or something.

  • that was for that hoax guy

  • XD Wow, sentencing someone to that would be cruel and unusual would it not?

  • whao!! that's a mighty big claim. Hope it's true.

  • better than maynard??? in his prime????? you gotta be kidding me!!! Lets see if their prime lasts half as long as his, and, to be sure, they will b eat their chops to death trying to sound like this guys did every day of his life, even well past 70. The Hession thing is a joke....and he would be the first one to tell you exactly that.

  • Lol looks like the drummer got caught nappin at 2:08

  • Damn! Alto and trumpet solos were very nice!

  • its name is eric

  • No shit, Sherlock....er.....bwvbach.

    Btw, that was very rude of you saying "its" name is eric.

  • AAhhhh! ... he had me until the last note.

  • Erics lick at 1:45 is absolutely fabulous, my god!!

  • The girl has balls

  • VERY GOOD !!!

  • To me, Bergeron, Stahl, Hession, and Miyashiro all sound as good as Maynard, if not better than he did (even in his prime). They each have characteristic sounds, though. There's not a whole lot of point to trying to compare them directly as who sounds the 'closest' to him. The only time they really want to emulate his sound is at MF Tribute Concerts. When they're on their own, they'll play how they see fit I figure.

  • The BEST non-Maynard Maynard I've ever heard.The Japs are good at copying !!

  • That sax solo was great on the ugliest sax I've ever seen. Great stuff. And I love easy Eric makes it look. Great stuff.

  • awesome playing, he even went for the late maynard physique

  • Eric makes it looks just as easy as Maynard ever did. I love listening to his playing, man. It inspires me to play more and more.

  • does anyone have this whole entire broadcast or somewhere i can get it?

  • dan mcmillion sounds a bit like maynard...

  • so fast!! Cool rendition.
