Maynard Ferguson - People (Live)

Extremely rare performance from "The Boss" Maynard Ferguson in the 1970. It was a special produced for British television entitled "The World of Maynard Ferguson". The name of the tune is "People". From my private collection. Enjoy...

(circa: 1970)

every new video i see of this man blows me away, and I've been listening to him for quite a while and chatted with him twice. Yet he still makes my jaw drop. Complete class act and the absolute greatest

Thanks for the comment & your visit to my channel come back soon.

I don't know if anyone has commented on this, but, notice how he was playing in the low register for the first minute and a half?

[boricuajazzz8]

He was great!

I like that at 2:50 he looks human. A little quiver. As a trumpet player it is nice to see the Gods of the trumpet world have a little trouble playing something ridiculous. He nails it but he has to work for it. God bless the boss. What an inspiration!!

[boricuajazzz8]

Yes he was!

[HFX1955]

Jesus Christ.  What a fucking band!!

This has to be my favorite video. Such an inspiration.

I would wear this out if it was on a record!

@nthom15- one day u may wish to find your own sound. This video is how you do it.

[jazzmfhorn00]

Listen to this till the end.

, I've NEVER heard maynard this crisp. his chops are so pretty and strong. I'd say this the undeniable peak of his chops.

This is a movie that needs to be made. And this song should be the theme. I'm floored by this tune. He teases us, then decides to just rip it to finish the tune off... t This is God given talent. And it rises above every other little improviser that played. This is special. This is the one. This is THE SOUND. This is MAYNARD.

@mrflopper23 Sorry. My bad.

[mrflopper23]

@7fernmann hey man, don't put me in the same category as that dude. I seriously dream about days where i can play like this!

[7fernmann]

OK, I'll continue to play along. You're befuddled, son, because you're 14, you don't know crap _ even if you think you do _ and you refuse to acknowledge Maynard's greatness, as opposed to about, oh, a few million of his fans who do. But I guess we're the ones in the wrong, and you're correct, right? I weep for your generation.

@nthom15 whoa.... i still don't understand what you people see in this so-called musician. He's 100% horrible....... being a trumpet player, I better just stop letting it get to me and go play and improve. This is befuddling....
