He came to the high school I was director at in Carbondale, Illinois in 1974. He did a jazz clinic for local high school jazz bands and the Southern Illinois University jazz band which I was playing in at the time. He invited me to come up and play a song with at the concert he did that night. I’m a tenor and soprano sax player. It was the highlight of my playing career. I’m getting too old to even remember for sure what song I played, but I think it was “Chameleon”. He was such a great guy and you could tell he loved he was doing.

Go Salukis Dogs! (1983 alum). I went to one of his clinics in 1977, I am a tenor and flute player. His flute player had a profound effect on my flute playing, it was like someone pulled back a curtain after that event.

I loved the way Maynard respected all the band members and how the enjoyment and love carried over to the audience and all the people they touched. I always tried to connect on that level with the other musicians and students I work with. I think that is a huge part of being able to play together.

I was fortunate to meet Randy Purcell in HS (1981) at Ohio Northern. He was the clinician for the ONU Jazz Festival that year. I'll never forget how he treated us kids like we weren't snot-nosed. He talked about jazz and style and how to use it to sound better - even if you weren't a trombone player like he was. He seemed genuinely interested in helping young people embrace music (and jazz, of course). He had his own style that still influences my playing today (as a trumpeter). May he (and Maynard) rest in peace.

Mom and I walked in, and we could hear the band. I can still remember it today (but not what they were playing!). FFWD to ten years, 1988, my senior year at North Hills HS. Randy Purcell played several concerts with the symphony and jazz bands. I was a drummer, and we were tacet for his solo piece, and I was elected to flip Randy's music. I couldn't follow him because he was ad-libbing, and I was petrified I was going to get yelled at by him and/or the band director.I knew Randy from the Pittsburgh jazz scene years later, and when MF would come to town, Randy would sit in. He always remembered me turning the pages for him when I was in HS. RIP, Randy and MF.

Too bad that the sound engineers did not provide a separate mic for the trombonist, since trumpets naturally are much louder than trombones. But then again, even though this sound SUPPOSEDLY was to feature a trombone solo, people mainly just want to hear (like I do) Maynard scream out high notes. Back in 1975, our high school actually had Maynard and his band play a full concert on campus during their "Chameleon" tour. Our high school marching band did a half-time show shortly afterwards of only songs from that album, which was quite fun. And yes, I am a trombonist.

My high school jazz band (I played lead alto) was very much into Maynard in the mid-1970s. I remember our director gave us this chart my senior year (1976-77). As I recall, the highest note in the lead trumpet part (Maynard's part) is a double-high Ab above the staff (on the syllable "RY" in "everything"). We had a sophomore player--15 years old--named Bob who could hit that note consistently. 🙂 We never performed it, as it was clearly beyond our abilities, but we loved this arrangement so much we referred to it simply as "The Sun."

I remember playing this in jazz band in high school. We had a terrific trombonist who played the solos, but (of course) we trumpeters could only dream f the stratospheric heights Maynard achieved. I knew someone who had met him back stage. Inevitably, some one asked hoe he hit those high notes and he said he had a warm up trick. He placed his mouthpiece to his lips and then placed his face in an open door jamb and instructed the questioner: "OK, slam it as hard as you can!"

Yes, Jerry sat immediately in front of me on the bus. We warmed up together before the gig, and every time the bus stopped, we jumped off and played frisbee. Lots of meaningful conversations.... As you said, great player and even better person.....

During this concert they played MacArthur park and this particular concert is my favorite performance of them playing that song. But I can't find any videos of them playing MacArthur park from this concert. Does anyone have any videos of it?? or know of a website that does??

Randy Purcell's son Randy plays guitar and is the first legacy musician in the USAF Jazz Band. I have read his grandfather was a trombone player in a USN band.
