the thing i respected about him was how he took great young players and got them noticed.. this are some generally young guys that are ridiculously talented..

Doesn't swing and the solo's are lacking in any sort of soul or really anything. Non-Mingus-ish. 1 star.

@mariomario987 definately, unknown kids that were really good would get on his band and after they would leave they would fill up their schedules.

seen him three times. once with the big band in 1978, and twice with the big bop noveau band; first at a high school gym, and second at the jazz cellar in ybor city, tampa. he was phenominal. i met him briefly, he reminisced about working with doc when they were teenagers, and conte candoli. a great and under rated artist.

My dad's bigger than your dad. Well, actually , he's dead. But i was speaking figuratively. So there. I think.

Too bad you don't know when not to start, then you wouldn't say shit like this.

This was def. not maynard's best performance, over did it with the shake but still good, and i like the arrangement, like the 2nd trumpet playing with the sax going up and then the other two going down that was good

[freeeeeeedy]

And some should know not to start.

Oh, wait. Peter Ferguson IS related to Maynard, being his nephew. I somehow missed that last time I looked him up.

From left to right, they are Paul Armstrong, Patrick Hession and I *think* the last guy is Peter Ferguson (no relation.)
