Thanks man your totally right i looked it up a couple of times its Stahl, shoulda known i have almost all of Maynard's stuff. So thanx!

sorry, but i want to say that i don't like Maynard Ferguson how he played, there was not a single note without a vibrato like Pavarotti, that you sometimes don't know which tone he want to play. I love this piece, it's a real good trumpet player, who can play high, you can understand each note so damn clear!

Dave Stahl is the man :D

Yes this song was written for Dave Detweiler. He brought this song to play as part of our guest artist concert at Chantilly High in Va. back in 1989-90. We then used it in our Marching band. We were very fortunate to have someone like him and others from the Armed Forces band play with us and tudor us.  We had Saul Miller and Bruce Gates from the "Note" who brought an unbelievable arrangement of Evergreen to play as part of our guest artist concert in 93'. I say we because I played Bari then

@tyler2484 This is really late in it's reply, but here's the real answer. This song was first performed by the US Army Blues in it's original incarnation, The Scream Machine. It was written by Mark Taylor, staff arranger at The US Army Band, Pershing's Own, and it was written with lead trumpet player Dave Detweiler in mind for the solo/lead line.

This is actually called "The Scream Machine." Scream Machine and Brass Machine are different versions of the same song. The Brass Machine is written down about 5 steps so that it's in a usable range for High School kids who don't have the kind of range it would take to play the upscale, original version, written by Mark Taylor specifically for Dave Detweiler - both with The US Army Band, Pershing's Own at the time of its writing.

@rdangelo That's what I call my big band. Yes, it was what they called the jazz band when I was in Jr. Hi and High School. Since nobody was using that moniker anymore, I thought I'd resurrect it. Here's my website:

@stagebandman What is a "stage band"? Isn't that the euphemism they used for "school jazz ensemble" back in the seventies so they didn't have to sell the "j word" to the school board? ;)

Trivia: Joe Mosello was on lead trumpet, with Danny Cahn and the other soloists here, who I think were Chris Pasin and Jerry Sokolov.

Oh, and James Morrison's song "Scream Machine" is a completely different tune. It's a Morrison original written for 5 trumpets and rhythm. Look it up.

Prove it. Show us the recordings. I guarantee Maynard NEVER recorded this song. And your ignorance about the fact that this was written in the 80s and Bill Chase died in 1974 is astounding. Dave Stahl and The Army Blues both recorded it, but this version is Dave Stahl's, which is a slightly shorter version. Brass Machine is the same song as the Army's version, but rescored down a fifth. Prove me wrong. I dare you.

Maynard and Bill Chase recorded this song as Scream machine Dave Stahl recorded Mark Taylors arrangement called Brass Machine the same song anyway you look at it. Maynards career spanned more than 70 years he most certainly prefrmed this song as Brass Machine too. I don't wish to take any credit away from Dave this is an excellent recording. Please understand that many people are more familiar with other recordings by other musicians.
