Once you hear Maynard's version, you just can't go back to the original, or any other version. RIP Maynard Ferguson, best trumpet player in the world.

I watched him in high school, my band director took us to see him. None of us knew why he was so excited to see this old guy play trumpet. We knew after about 10 seconds of him playing.

Same. Very happy I got to see him with Big Bop Nouveau in the early 90s. He was a little past his prime (arguably maybe a little more than a little…) and had a STaCKED band of young cats (and happily a full big band of 5/4/5) and they absolutely slayed. A young guy played a lot of the lead stuff but MF still popped and few notes here and there for good measure.

Maynard in his screamer prime. He did some tremendous jazz in the 60s, and then transformed himself in the 70s. This performance can't be beat. Don't even try it. You'll hurt yourself.

You can laugh at how dated the fashion of the performers, the haircuts, etc...focus on one thing... Maynard. And you'll be mesmerized. I saw him do this live in Florida, in a front row seat. He stepped forward, in front of me, waving his trumpet above my head and to my left as he soared during one of those dramatic crescendos. I was in awe of the man. Take note of that one long note when he's using his diaphragm, below his stomach between rib cages to pump the air evenly as he extends the note. I don't know what else to say. He ends the song on that triple octave high note leaving us all breathless. He's a legend. He could've been someone's myth. But he walked among us humble. RIP Mr Ferguson. You stunned the entertainment world for how long....three decades or more? I'm still flustered so I can't remember. You're in heaven among the cheraphin.

Замечательно сказано! Мейнард - легенда! Его музыка, его живое исполнение - настоящее высокое искусство! Чем дальше мы от того времени - тем примитивнее музыка. Оценить такое мастерство могут немногие. Это музыка для слушателей с интеллектом!
@brians9508Ай бұрын
the long note you refer to - I think he was actually doing circular breathing - which is shockingly difficult given the high note and lip slur he is doing at the same time. A technique that i have often seen oboe and bassoon players use, but have never been able to master myself.

It amazes me how high Maynard can play, and stay able to play that high and not get his chops blown. I can’t play too much above the staff without getting my chops blown, he can play and octave and a half above the staff consistently, truely incredible in his prime. Trying to figure out if maybe my problem is the way I angle my horn though, I have great tone and I notice how he has it pointing straight off his lips and when I have mine it’s kinda angled down. Not for sure but I definitely strive to be as good as he is.
