A great clip that shows the awesome humor and personality of Maynard Ferguson telling a booking agent what to do when the session goes over on time. A possible light hearted drug reference too!

  • What was this from? Available on DVD?

  • I heard "Drink Pils" Maynard was always known to be sloshed and since there was a debate, I listened carefully with some good studio monitors and my vote is he says "Drink Pils" because a light lager like those that are most popular in the US (Budweiser, Coors, etc) are Pilner lagers. We could call it either Pilner, Lager, Beer, Brew or Pils. I have been to countries where they call light beer Pils because it's short for Pilsner. Now as far as Maynard saying "Take" he definately says "Drink".

  • Pils, the beer, definitely. Better than any illegal cam recordings from a movie theater. Awesome Maynard was one of his kind.

  • Maynard was way too nice to say what most people of his stature would have said. Just think of how Buddy would have replied to that schmuck. Instead, Maynard made everyone laugh. I still miss him.

  • He's saying PILLS, not Pils(ner).

    You don't "take" beer, you drink it!

    Don't try to white-wash reality.

  • Maynard is definitely NOT saying "taking pills"...he is saying "drinking PILS", as in Pilsner(beer)...just as a previous person noted

  • HHHHHAHAHAHAHA that is awesome.... when i opened for him on his 74th birthday he came out with a red cup in front of my high school band and family and takes a long drink of his cup and comes to the mic and goes..."ahhhh.... now thats music education..." lol...oh maynards sense of humor was always awesome

  • agreed...but he would have made himself a own star somehow... he's legendary

  • Agreed. I drank it in Holland as well.
