Maynard Ferguson - Portuguese Love (1981)

smoking alto sax

@ :24 is Maynard saying, "hope that you like my mom."? haha

what an amazing song! but no trumpet can equal to Teena's voice.

el sonido del maestro del sax se me hizo parecido al de cris vadala me gusto mucho gracias boricuajazz

Yes Dave Mancini is the drummer. He only did part of this tour though and was replaced by Gregg Bissonette brother of the bass player in this video. Mancini is a monster player but I really like what Gregg brought to the table. With Matt and Ron Pedley that was a friggin killer rhythm section. I saw them 3 times! Oh and I agree that Mancini had to be heavily influenced by Gadd!!

Is that his name....hmmm. Never knew. We always referred to him as the crazy drummer who looked like he was either coked up or getting pleasured under the drum stand there. Or both. Lotta energy.

He may have been coked up but so was Maynard so it didn't matter!! LOL

Dave Mancini is the drummer.

Hi again boricuajazzz8:
In your other post, "Portuguese love" in Montreal Jazz Festival, at 9:00 M. Ferguson says the drummer name (he is not Gadd).
Otherwise, congratulations for your great collection.

I forgot to write, the drummer is Dave Mancini. He's also an important teacher and composer.
