Maynard Ferguson and Big Bop Nouveau - But Beautiful

From 1989's Big Bop Nouveau. This is my favorite Maynard rendition of this tune here. So nice and smooth with a touch of wine and some dinner. Please note this album is totally long out of print since and can be found else where on Ebay, GEMM, Amazon, etc. This truly my favorite Maynard Ferguson ever. I first bought this on cassette online at GEMM and later able to find a download copy of this entire album. Hope you enjoy the remarkable work I laid out on this video. RIP to Maynard Ferguson, may God rest your soul and you are forever missed by many fans all around the world who has touched your music.

Please note on 2:37, there's an autographed picture signed for me from Maynard himself in the summer of 1999 while he was alive. I still keep that picture with me today. It sure brings back alot of old memories. I once written him a letter to say how much his music really inspires me and how I carry that on me with me today when playing my trumpet and among other things.

This is extraordinary. And your Blue Birdland as well. And how did you amass those rare and wonderful photographs? Great work, mesmerizing, deeply beautiful. Check out "Blue World/Maynard: A Short Film," on the MF Forum several lines away from your "Blue Birdland" on the front page at this moment!

@chebelain Its simple, the way I did is I kind of borrow some photographs of these from the MF forum plus on Google images, Photobucket, Facebook etc and save them into a flash drive or external hard drive. Then I was able to import most of these photo and the audio al2gether with some effects and transitions to add using Windows Movie Maker. Its similar to Powerpoint and feel free to check my tutorial how to use WMM btw. I'm very happy you enjoy the video I made. Stop by anytime.

TY so much for posting this Henry. "But Beautiful" is probably my favorite MF ballad and you did a beautiful job on the slide show as well.

@UpperRegister Thank you very much Eric! I want to give the best clip I can make in honor of the late Maynard Ferguson. He was such a genius!
