Maynard Ferguson at Playboy Jazz Festival -- "Portuguese Love"

[@michaelpetrovich2959]

5:22 to 5:36 make me want to throw up in my mouth. No one had control like Maynard Ferguson. I always show people this clip and watch their eyes fall out of their heads. My dad showed this to me on VHS when I was 3. I never forgot it and Maynard and my dad were the inspirations for playing trumpet and Maynard's music has always been so beautiful and powerful to me. I was so lucky to drive around and play with him before he died.

What a beautiful tune, and so well played...you have to admire MF, he seemed utterly unafraid to reach for any note.

[@bemaniac2]

that solo was damn near perfect!

I still say, that crazy coked out drummer, Steve Wiest, Stan Mark, Dennis DiBlasio,...Greatness! My favorite Maynard band. Too great!

[@brianburk2559]

[@oferfarkash3754]

Fucking amazing …😊 No other words can convey that

[@nancygiroux3862]

WOW!!!!

[@dallas1963]

this is an incredible live performance of this tune...this is a classic case of the live version of "Portuguese Love" being infinitely better than the very weak studio version on the "Hollywood" album...that entire album is just plain bad...the sound on that album has a phony, "canned" sound.

Strictly Nuclear!

Maynard is better than Kodak black

[@srconrad]

I wasn’t familiar with that tune. Also had Chris Braymen on trombone.
