Maynard was a class act. The loudmouth in the audience was handled in a way that was reflective of Maynard's generous personality! Buddy Rich would have inserted a drumstick or two up that drunk's ass!

It just shows how much class Maynard had. I wish I was 1/1,000,000th as cool as he was.

That's why we love him. I'm surprised noone threw that jerk out.

The man is so cool. He is the greatest: always nice, kind, and the greatest of a musician.  We miss you and love you, Maynard. RIP.

Man, I hate drunks in the audience. Yea, Buddy would have handled it very quickly.

I saw Maynard a couple times before. He truly knows how to jive with the audience and make them laugh in between numbers. Whoever is yelling is a total asshole.

I saw Maynard at a small club in Mansfield Ohio back in the mid 70"s.

There was a drunk female in the audience that was being loud and belligerent and Maynard sort of introduced her as Doc Severinsen's mother.

It was one of those things where you had to be there but I rolled off my chair

laughing. He was the consummate Pro and has probably inspired more trumpet players than anyone else in my lifetime.

@trombonechops It was 1973 at the Le Bastille in Houston,Texas.I drove 250 miles down from Arlington with my dad to watch Buddy and the band play. A heckler just like this guy was Heckling Buddy and the band..I remember the guy yelling at the lead Tenor Sax player,Pat LaBarbera and then Buddy and Paul Congella,the bass player. This guy would NOT shut up! He was standing way across the room about 50 feet. All of the sudden Buddy threw the sticks nail'd the guy in the head and chest! Applause!!!!!
