It is fun to add this perfect double C to other videos with songs that end on double g or double c's or even just to random songs.

[DissectThis]

Circa '74 @ the Prom Ctr., in St.Paul MN was 1st time I heard the Man. I will never foget it~!! It was near unbelievable !! I actually thought my ears were lying to me...

[brimlow313]

BITCH!! Hell yeah Maynard!

[urabum]

why is there only 4 minutes of this?

[kdkn92]

Doesn't really sound like a dubba C. Too clean and full toned. And yeah Cocaine does help short term range. I don't why though.

[NSSpikes]

Did you just dis his double C for being too good?? Hahaha

[beagleman123456789]

Not true @ not nice

[kdkn92]

@kdkn92 Guys this was supposed to be complimentary and funny so quit thumbs downing it.

[jambajoby32]

hey so the reason he "gasps" while talking is because he is breathing correctly. most of us breath the minimum we have to in order to live day to day.

Maynard on the other hand, relies on breathing correctly to play the most efficient he can. his correct breathing method just transfers over to speaking as well.

[Dagersmusic]

que vaina bacana,,,,mucho orquesta ...mucho estudio ...nooooooo  m,,,que hara este man en los tiempos libres ? ....jejejejejejej

[CUNfTucker]

i am concerned how mf breath pattern when he talks . he gasps every 6 seconds . why?

[solidleadtrpt]

It could be cocaine use. I know he used in the seventies.

[selector111]

How would cocaine do that and did he really do cocaine, and lol also how would he be able to do all of that while doing cocaine

[solidleadtrpt]

You've obviously never done cocaine :)

[fernmann7]

Ha, ha, Absolutely. Anybody who has done the booger sugar knows it'd help blasting up into the trumpet stratosphere.

[icehawk1223]

hahahahahahaha

[Reinocerous25]

"well, this isUH, a newUH song from ourUH record"

[StickKingProductions]

I love how he lets the Dubba C just fly after taking a breath, instead of working up to it in a breath.

[bflattrumpeter]

I tried his technique, AND IT WORKS! (Not surprising, as it IS MF, but then its surprising anyways as it worked, know what I'm sayin?) Anywho, after an hour's practice (using MF's technique) I still could hit the E above the staff (concert D) WOOT!

[Jamestrumpet]

Maynard's Double C's are the fattest, fullest and most awesome of any trumpet player around....bar none at all!!! Rip Boss. James

[tyler2484]

Double C, played correctly (like MF or close), is to me, the most beautiful note on trumpet

[mbuggy11]

damn he makes it look so easy

[bluesguy0524]

Is it me, or is he ripped?

[rmtoyama]

ha check dem sungalsses - HE'S RIPPED....that's why the musics so good

[enlitened1234]

The problem today, is we don't have heroes like we did back then. Guys like Maynard Doc Buddy Rich were heroes to set a standard to. People to look up to, who had skill as well as stardom.

There are not any people today to look up to. We don't have to wait for a star to come to town and awe us. We have up to the second "youtube" info that has desensitized us.

I feel bad for the musical youth of today...this is why programs are disappearing, and the music industry has become a joke.

[VagueTheory]

You are definitely right.

Music just isn't the same anymore.

Band programs in my area getting worse and worse every year.

[MarshallsWorld]

Well, let's face it; inbetween 1920 and about 1980 or so big bands were what everybody liked. Jazz was what "all the cool kids listen to." Now it's rock n roll. Plus, with guitar and your basic drums set being so easy to learn how to play, kids can learn one of these instruments and play what they like to listen to on their ipods in a matter of days. Being able to play like maynard ferguson takes years,

[johngsteel]

So very true... Anybody can make noise on a guitar, electric bass, or drums. Grab a grass or woodwind (classical style instrument) take years and years to be good. Longer to be very good.

[2005dave]

High school kids TODAY still want to be Maynard, such was his power. Rest in peace, Maynard.

[mbuggy11]

I would love to be able to play like this man haha.

[crownofthorns101]

Yet compelling. The man is amazing.

[crownofthorns101]

Some kind of highly demented orgasm

[cobaltjones]

It's funny at the end that he can't resist the Vaudeville fanning out of his arms, even in this demonstration. lol

[dotdadee]

That's NOT what he was doing. His what you call "waving" of his arms has to do with a release of  energy...a follow through. He got this technique from a concept that he learned that has it's origins in the martial arts.

[Toddlip]

Big, juicy, fat, double C's on demand, acappella. There was only one Maynard.

[beagleman123456789]

Yes, there is only One Maynard Ferguson, not Eric whats his name.He should get his own style.

[tigerbombs23]

I don't think Eric Miyashiro is bad. In fact second to Maynard, I think he should be considered one of the best

[TallyHo1955]

Yes, but so stiff,no flair. Maynard use ti sromp his feet, march, coduct,play with the section etc/......

[maynardgravy]

Question: Can Anyone tell me why MF sounds out of breath every time he speaks? For someone with remarkable breath control and range it's a little confusing, like he's smoking 50 a day. See any vid where he's speaking he sounds the same.

[glarclath]

He did have great air control, but he probably just didnt like talking.. If i had to guess anyways.

[mynamisdan]

its just a habitual way of breathing he had. its like a twitch.

[DancingSpiderman]

@maynardgravy it was because Maynerd was breathing for TWO. His Kuato also needed air.

[SolMaster]

This man says it better than anyone else. The biggest mistake I see trumpet players make in high school is that when they try to go higher they get less and less of an airstream going because they tense up their throat and push the mouthpiece against their face. Higher notes require more air, and faster air. Everyone has their own method, so just remember that whatever works for you is probably the right thing to do as long as you can maintain decent tone and pitch.

[swimfly2012]

ya i would love to know wut he said for the rest of the clinic

[Nicar526]

When I saw him here in Houston in the seventies, his nose actually bled on stage

[rimnuggets]

Yeah, I heard he was fond of the booger sugar.

[DancingSpiderman]

@Nicar526 it's a wonder his head didn't explode from that small rip of the nasal membrane from where the blood oozed...

[btj89]

anyone notice when he plays the 'bottom register' he goes all the way to middle C? he WOULD call that the bottom register for him lol

[mariomario987]

lol i was just thinking that.. i was like what the hell no fair! lol

[UpperRegister]

I wish it was as easy as Maynard makes it out to be, however, it isnt. lol

[clintonplaza]

Saw him twice in upstate NY at Red Hook High School in mid 70's,CAT was amazing and second time was the debut of PRIMAL SCREAM. He took the roof off!!!

[SolarTiger]

He came to my hometown for a show in the mid-70's and after the show, he sat at a tiny table off stage and let all us kids get autographs and actually listened to some of our high school jazz band wanna-be's play and gave pointers...what a classy guy|!

[7139462314]

play tha whol show!!!!!!!!damnit

[sweepee1013]

MAN! Sounded like he was going to split that Jet Tone wide open!

Fantastic musician, great guy. Thanks for the memories.

[UpperRegister]

I wish it where as easy as Maynard describes it lol

[7139462314]

clear up the viedo . have seen it on daily motion, with good viedo but the audio was week.Getit all on , and good. bill chase would have diged it that way. thanks . mark

[bimmerfun]

Still missing Maynard. If you have the rest of the clinic, please post it for us to enjoy! Thanks,

Lou Spagnola

[clskmstg]

A year on the 26th - Amazing MF - he is missed.

[mffanaddict]

I saw Maynard in 78 79 81 84 85 87 88 89 91 94 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 04 and 06 "Blue Birdland" was his theme song -- and this one's GREAT -- it DEFINES "chops" trumpet. Almost all of the MF techniques are on display here, actually (the whole breath & body go into the sound). In itself, viewing/hearing this clip is a great way to remember Maynard, who was an utterly gracious human being, too, as his band members and fans will attest. Thanks brian740.

[gsman5828]

Man that was a weak DHC!! J/K!! I sure do miss Maynard!

[xkaboomx]

Do you have the entire clinic? It would be great if you can upload more of this, great stuff. Thanks
