[toti4]

earle hagen also wrote the andy griffith show theme. what a contrast!

[mnstrgdflla]

@jonjo12321 Earle Hagen



[jonjo12321]

who composed the original harlem nocturne?

[AkiraChan24]

@jonjo12321 I believe is was Earl Bostic. I think so, anyway. I could be wrong.

[vaniasecca]

Muitíssimo bom!!!

[andromedarr]

Does anyone know that Ferguson himself plays the soprano in the beginning?

[legosawesomeness123]

thumbs up if you play an instrument!

[Woopee]

I play the alto vagina. (@lego...)

[Prefer2Swing]

This can't be Maynard. The alto player would be absolutely killin' if this was Maynard, and this guy isn't. When did Maynard ever record a tune with completely nondescript brass writing?

[ThuSkyline]

Suuuummertiiiime, haha.

[moyagolova]

Круто!!!



[MrCleverest]

I disagree with the comments concerning doubt about this song coming from Maynard. His arrangements were passionate, strong, and powerful. In my opinion this is all that, true, a different sort of strength and passion but it's still all there. The feeling of walking through a shady part of downtown at 3am is as passionate as a triple C.

WHAT'S THE BIT ABOUT DUKES VERSION BEING UNAVAILABLE IN MY COUNTRY WHERE HE WAS BORN AND PLAYED? ARE THE RADICAL LIBS TAKING OVER WHAT MUSIC WE CAN PLAT TOO?

[AntonioVir]

Sad. Sexy. Absolute perfection! Wow.

[flashback96]

Bluesy, baby! These guys make this tune sound like it should have been the background music for a film noir.

[eltonej]

Maynard always had a great band but not to the loss of the spotlight, where's Maynard?

[goldcrayon2]

@eltonej i too was waitin for him to start screamin the theme and it never came.

nevertheless its still excellent!@

[windinkle]

This one by Maynard Ferguson is great because it sounds like it's lonely and being played in an alley.

[rjbakbor]

This is the cleanest, and yet most impressive version I'v heard. The sax player using blue notes perfectly. Is this really from the Maynard Ferguson Band?

[DeadEyeSprout]

I love the passion and the amazingness of how something played at a slow tempo feels so good to listen to!

[assassinXXnissassa]

sexy sound

[yoshilover442]

im learning this song in play its hard on flute >.<

[fromdirttodustpro1]

@yoshilover442 You should see the trumpets, it is epic difficult.

[stevebul]

I have to agree that this doesn'i sound like one of Maynard's bands, where's Maynard, sounds too tame.

[ilovecookiessomuch12]

i have to play this is band

[monolithispure]

@ilovecookiessomuch12 you GET to play this in band

[crimsonhawk52]

i caught that little Summertime excerpt in the beginning, you sneaky trumpets

[Psychedelicsaxplayer]

I would like more clarinet sound in the performance, but anyway - the band is working perfect! ;-)

[cigarshare]

That does not sound anything like any of Maynard's bands

[renerevuelta1]

Just the way I like it, nice and slow.
