Maynard Ferguson - Maynard Ferguson

Subscribe please, I'll try to upload some new Maynard vids if I can get :0.

Anyway, this is SUUUCH an old recording. Just found it in my library on Emule... Please don't complain, this was recorded when Maynard was in his 20s.. He totally played kick ass back then ;P. His lip thrill is better than ever in this video. This song is the song that represents Maynards range, so enojyyyy! =]

Not only the best on the trump but could wield the slide 'bone and a couple others really good.

Bats cry out in pain at his high notes......nobody has topped him yet. If they do play as good, they can't say Stan Kenton and Jimmy Dorsey and heavies like that are on their been-there-done-that list.

Awesome vid, man...thanks for posting!

anybody who disagrees that maynard is the best high note player of all time hasn't heard this...

although guys like chase are incredible, this song is just magical

[iluvsystemofadown]

Heh yea sorry to Chase and the others but Maynard just rips it everytime.

[fastman1574]

Maynard is the greatest!

[iluvsystemofadown]

Always =]

@texasboy613 Maynard played soprano sax a bit too =P. Check out others (Jon Faddis, James Morrison, etc)

What album was this on?

[texasboy613]

Woah!! I'm a saxophone player but I thoroughly enjoy listening to a squeeling trumpet and Maynard is just the guy to listen to. Truely remarkable.

Those are some killer suits. I think my Grandma has an old couch with the same design! Ha. I love old Maynard clips, he really sounded great. 2:25 is the best I've ever heard that section played, even compared to the studio version of this song that Maynard recording. He NAILS this one.

I couldn't agree with you any more. That's EXACTLY how i feel. I was actually thinking of writing something similar to what you wrote then when i saw this comment i realized it would be redundant. spot on.

[MattABryant]

This is one of the very first jazz songs I ever heard. I have loved Maynard's stuff ever since. He was the man.

[putput00]

Yeah, he's pretty much all air, no pressure. His embrochure never really moves when he plays anything. He can solo, too, though most don't think so. He has some cool bebop vids, from back in the day, on youtube.

how would you like to be a section trumpeter during this
