@clownishwargod1 I hope that's sarcasm.

This is a very great piece. This band took it at a different angle and really didn't give it any thought to blow some passion. All except the pianist. He did a good job with some of those scale runs. The horse winny was a nice touch lol. Sax solo threw me way off from the theme until the last note. Dang I wish I could played this piece in our high school band. Sure we wouldn't be as great as the original or this group, but it would be really fun just to take it and have fun with it.

@clownishwargod1 This is definitely not the original track of the Maynard Ferguson version. First clue: No screaming high trumpet. Second clue: the audio and video match up perfectly until around the three trumpet solos. Even then it's fractions of a second and hardly noticeable. I don't see why you seem to think they don't match when they do. Just watch the solos and you can tell, the piano solo especially at 1:22.

@SoATrumpet13 the audio and the video dont sync together

[clownishwargod1]

i love maynard ferguson.

i love birdland.

but this version kinds sucks.

[MFjazzfan]

seriously, they TRY to make it different from maynard's piece! and i think they realized that its not as good as maynard's...

@LifeExemplum SO true. Proffesionals never ever stop practising, as especially now there will always be someone better than you, so there is always room for improvement. The thing about Grade 8 is so true. I have grade 8 but there is a world of difference between me and a professional, and I am practising more now than before I passed the exam.

And on this piece, I don't think they were very tight.

Lol trumpets were off on timing and accuracy in the funk section lol.

The caption says it all.

[BlkNgga13]

@selector111 IM NOT FCKIN CALLING YOU A "DOG" FUCKIN IDIOT DAWG MEANS LIKE.. SIR OR MR soo dont fuckin trip iight?? if thats the only think you can say after all the shit i told you then you really shouldnt be a musician k???

[selector111]

@BlkNgga13 P.S. I'm not a dog kid, only "gangsta" wanna bes speak like that.

[selector111]

@BlkNgga13 Who is Manyard, I said I listen to Maynard, go learn how to spell kid, you are 15. I like listening to Maynard, but I also like many other musicians like Wayne Bergeron, count Basie, Esperanza Spalding, and many more jazz and classical musicians, I am not obsessed I just like Maynard's music a lot and there is a lot of it. I have my own sound, when I play lead stuff I want to sound more like Wayne or Maynard, that isn't exactly what I sound like, but they have great sounds so why not.

[BlkNgga13]

@selector111 especially manyards.. he had his own style now go find yours.. oh nd P.S. im not a kid

[BlkNgga13]

@selector111 i dont have any videos because i cant put them up my computer has viruses and no matter how many times i try it wont work.. and good for you no one cares if youve seen EVERY video... dawg you set your own self up for this.. if youve seen every video it makes you seem like your obbsessed with himm and thats not cool it makes you seem like a follower.. ay being a professional musician i know your not somosed to copy anyones music your soposed to have yyou own style not everyone else's

[selector111]

@BlkNgga13 Your right I do not know how good you are but seeing as you don't have any videos and I have not heard of you doesn't make me think you can play a double b. Also believe me, I have seen every video anyone has put on youtube about maynard, I look them up and search for new ones in between practice sessions. It is great that you like maynard though.

[mattyzdog]

I love the song and Maynard is my all time favorite trumpet player...but for some reason this performance just didnt hit me like it normally does.

[BlkNgga13]

@selector111 Dawg im not gloating iight?? nd how would you know what kinda chops i have i could be a better trumpet player than you and idc if youve seeen everyone of his videoz guess what.. I have too! but how do i knoe that youve seen every one.. hmm?? it could just be a lie to make your self look good.. dude dont test me.. trust me you dont wanna go that way

[Joebone18974]
