A sax player myself, always wondered how hard it is to reach this highest notes in this piece on the trumpet. I remember there was a rumour, at least in my part of the world, that Maynard Ferguson had passed away in the 80ies cos of pressure in the brain from playing the high notes. Was lucky to see him later, in Bangkok, touring with US university students.

[@luclamoureux6266]

Few played trumpets, incredible.

[@PPGAddict]

I've got tears in my eyes right now......I remember Maynard at DCI making a comment on my range.....still to this day my proudest moment. Thanks guys for bringing back some incredible memories.

I played trumpet for twenty years. My friends threw a big party to celebrate when I finally gave up the instrument and became a writer. Writing is much quieter they told me. I listen to this every morning at least once to get my emotional juices going in high gear. The philosopher Frederick Nietzsche said that life without music would be a mistake. I totally agree.

[@MTG_Fastrax]

Miyashiro's breathing was the best, and that was one of Maynard's biggest traits. He would hold his notes out longer than anyone else. Wayne has Maynard's tone, Eric has the breathing and Hession has the range. Combined, they are almost a true maynard!

[@gsman5828]

Funny, as good as these cats are, Maynard was in a totally different league! The sound, the power in his playing not to mention longevity was truly amazing! There are tons of guys who can play rocky at hit the "notes", but Maynard didn't make it sound high. He owned the upper register and played masterfully with noone his equal! Man I miss the "Boss".

[@ottojones3162]

Maynard always had a rich full tone in the upper register.

[@rogersdrums1]

This is a great tibute to the "Boss" I must have seen Maynard over 50 times from 1974 right up until he passed away. Maynard and Blood Sweat and Tears were my two favorite bands in high school. My brother and I got to meet him after a show in Providence, R.I. one night. He was a great, down to earth human being . His trumpet playing goes without saying. You always looked forward to a M.F. Concert. The great musicians, the great arrangements, and the medley. R.I.P. Maynard. You are not forgotten.

[@Octiceps]

LOL notice how Wayne is the only soloist out of the three (Hession, Wayne, Miyashiro) who isn't playing into a microphone, yet he still projects better than anyone on stage! Wayne's the best lead player alive IMHO.

[@bradsjazz]

As someone there that night, I must say it was one of the best music nights of my life. And for all the people here that want to complain about any of the players showboating, please don't forget that they were trained by the BEST showboater of them all. And I say that with great respect.

[@DeMariThompson]

Did anyone notice that altissimo jump from the tenor that just blended in so well at 2:04 that you couldn't even tell

[@MrXavier85]

[@123baseball123]

I love watching this video. The three "leads" are playing in a similar fashion to Maynard, and in Maynard's later years, he played in a manner similar to what Patrick was doing. I am amazed by all three guys, what a pleasure it must have been to be there.

[@iceman5006]

I don't know why a lot of people like to dump on Patrick hession. He is a professional lead trumpet player he played lead for Ferguson 6 years. You don't suck if you play leave for Maynard for 6 years. Now when he's in the upper register this sound is a little raspy that a little something weird to it he's not as full and fat as Eric is but trust me guys the cat can play and if you had a band you'd want him in it.

[@manju1045]

first of all, eric miyashiro is way more humble and his tone is way better than hessions, even if hession can scream some semi audible notes that dont sound good at all.

[@matthewaker5837]

@Ben Bailey I am not sure why you are referring to Hession as an egotistical douche. When he bowed and shakes hands, he was merely getting into the moment and enjoying the recognition the crowd gave him. You can not blame him, magic was happening on the stage and different people react different ways to recognition. Miyashiro not bowing doesn't inherently make him more humble, it just means he reacts to admiration and praise differently than Hession.
