What can you say. Maynard and his band were the best. He was the true essence of class and a real showman. Even as he got older he still gave 110% The thing that really set him apart from most other big bands was the exciting, creative, interesting arrangements. The same thing with Buddy Rich and his Band. He always had exciting, creative, interesting arrangements. And he absolutely gave 110%. When he was done playing he was soaking, dripping wet. The guy played his ass off.
...the man is clearly struggling...at this time in his life, who knows what had happened, hours, minutes or seconds before this was recorded. How he did what he did, for the decades he did it, still remains one the mysteries of the trumpet world....perhaps it always will.
