Saw him at a local university in 1982...the BEST concert of my life. Maynard was and is my hero. The greatest trumpet sound imaginable and what a passion he had for performing. I still aspire to play and sound like him. Thanks Maynard. :o)

MF rocks the heaven :D



Most likely lineup: Migliore, Traub and Maina on saxes; Nick Lane & Ken Crane on T'bones; Stan Mark, Rusty Barker, Mike Horbal & Alan Wise on T'pts; Lou Carfa (b), Mike Rizzo(gt), David Ramsay (p) & Roberto Petaccia (d). THIS IS MY FAVORITE VERSION OF BIRDLAND, Maynard's from the "Carnival" Album.
