@JazzerCL777 Wayne is a god of trumpet. I was being a little over-critical of him, although I don't take back what I said. What about Maynard Farteson?

[JazzerCL777]

@tpstrat14 I think you'll find this is the Maynard Ferguson arrangement of MacArthur Park so it's bound to be high, and it's the control that Wayne achieves which is the most impressive virtue for me. Maynard "Strainhard" Ferguson was really shaky when he blasted up into the extreme register, whereas Wayne is the lead trumpet of Gordon Goodwin's Band for the reason that he's one of the best and the most musical screamers around.

playing high can only go so far with me. It's not a virtue in and off itself to play high. And although I think Wayne would agree with me, he screams a little too much, and plays music a little too little
