[guitarspectre]

[freeeeeeedy]

Oh dear...

[flashback96]

The other version of "Rocky" that was played on the radio stations doesn't even hold a candle to this one...never did...never will!

@flashback96 he wasnt convinced it would be a hit but after he played it on tv a few times...

Always loved how Maynard enjoyed himself during a performance.

I was sitting in the 4th row back on this one! I remember shaking his hand when he came down on Pagliacchi. What a memory!

I played the Maynard part of this at a St. Louis U basketball game in the late 70's. Since I couldn't rotary breathe on trumpet, I made sure I had a chair locked behind my knees. Sure enough, at the end of the long note, the room started spinning and I passed out. I had blown my chops, so I could only hit the last three notes. No one really cared about my blown chops since I was actually the drummer!

on both ascending d scales were those "mistakes" (nothings a mistake w/ maynard) purposeful?

[Finne116]

Too much funk for one song...unacceptable. Haha I love this!!!!!

[94z07]

Love Maynard et al but swear he looks more like Dusty Rhodes in this video than himself.

I'll always love Maynard. He was my gateway into jazz.

maynard can play better with only his left than most can with both!
