Maynard Ferguson, Montreal 1982

[@AngelSusie57]

Maynard Ferguson was fantastic, a true legend in the world of Jazz, his music will never get old.

[@russellnash4591]

I always get a kick when I come across a video from this era and see our friend, and daughter's private instructor, from more than 40 years ago! Gotta love seeing the young Nelson Hill and the current one is pretty great too!

[@jeffgarcia9762]

I always need to come back here to listen to this no matter what

[@boardmanfan]

I sure miss Maynard.

[@MrAmexx83]

Let`s not forget Stan Mark. Incredible what he pulled off. Maynard could always attract superb musicians.

[@tomwalenter7230]

First heard Maynard in 1973, I was just learning trumpet, I went home that night trying to figure out how to turn my horn into a lamp. Amazing, and a very down to earth "cool cat" .

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

Your comment cracked me up! lol....

[@ssnoc]

Wow, I never saw this concert it’s terrific - what a treat 👍

[@nelsonmoreno5762]

Ese fue. El mejor y unos de los mejores en el mundo de la trompeta .el. Canadiense Maynard Ferguson bendiciones para todos ustedes gracias. Saludos desde santo domingo república dominicana. Invivienda. Sto dmgo este

[@PatRick-sk7us]

LOL! The opening tenor sax solo, just cracked me up! And I thought I used to play some wild solos, that "were out there!" That dude, was a wild man!

[@christopherfischer6998]

Pat Rick yeah that was wild but he still absolutely killed it

[@JesusisJesus]

That was on point. I've played birdland a thousand times and nobody can get the fuckn rhythm right, This group was tight as.

[@craft-o-matic2377]

"Hollywood" sounds like it was from and episode of "CHiPs". One of only a few TV shows I enjoy. Saw Maynard many times and he was incredible and just a very cool guy!

[@ShawnBarnesbass]

The bass player is Matt Bissonette who would later go on to play with the likes of David Lee Roth, Joe Satriani, Ringo Starr and many others. Nice solo at 4:10.

[@Vibes2me]

His brother Greg started at the Texas A&M 1 O'clock Jazz Lab and played with Maynard as well.

[@auxpowerunit]

Matt is so versatile. I really liked his playing with Jeff Lynne (ELO) and Boz Scaggs.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Dave C I saw Greg Bissonette at Le Cafe is LA back in 1990 - ended up chatting with him, cool guy - and he also played with David Lee Roth

[@stefanivvan959]

right now he is playing with elton john

[@BruceBromley]

Saw Matt Sunday night touring with Elton John. He is a phenominal player

[@ssaliceti]

Excellent spectacle! Un bon choix de pièces jazz variées et de très bons arrangements. Maynard Ferguson laisse beaucoup de place à son band et les solos des musiciens sont très originaux et créatifs.

[@chrispettus2532]

They played so much better here than they played at the Playboy Jazz Festival in L.A. just a few weeks earlier. It must have been early in the tour for the L.A. gig. Everybody sounds better here, really tight, like they're ready for the studio recording. They could have just taken the recording of the 1982 Montreal Jazz Festival gig, printed it and it would have sold well. Stan Mark on lead trumpet is at his best here, truly legendary.

[@cjgaddy]

Thanks for posting - great concert! Amazing keyboardist: Ron Pedley - playing the intro to “Take A Train” (haha - Lawrence Welk’s name for it) beginning at 13:52. Maynard Ferguson, Montreal Jazz Festival 1982.

[@Zanzibarbarian]

Stan Mark's lead playing is superb...

[@boriskasimov1769]

В наши годы нам этого не показали. Высший класс!!!

[@dcx45]

Fret not, we only got to see this in 2013 for the very first time. Love it!

[@kcmap9478]

Quite Simply..."The Boss"

[@fweddyfwintsone4491]

Great band. Very tight. Mr. Mancini on drums was excellent.

[@EdWeibe]

audio is low. may as well deinterlace while your at it. :)

[@joselitorocha2474]

Eu tinha essa apresentação gravada em VHS, gravei da televisão no final dos snos 90.

[@GraysonBuzz]

Nice! I sure never made a tenor or bari sax sound like that back when I used to play!

[@e-ternell]

Thank you Mr BME If someone had a live version of his "Awright Awright" this will be a great time for all his fans

[@oliver13942]

le boss tout simplement merci du partage

[@Lucas-sb7bs]

Wow, this is such a nice find. So much gold in this set that captures that time. Can I get the original audio?

[@EdWeibe]

one the best I've ever heard from the boys

[@t.b.g.504]

Maynard Ferguson's band would make an excellent backup band for 'The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson'!

[@AlanAttack]

God bless the Maynard

[@sweetpapajazz]

He had his own thing for sure !

[@Braglemaster123]

Excellent 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️

[@curt-7259]

"Hollywood" is so tight that you cant hear anything out of place.

[@methuenyoungpeoplestheatre5894]

Looks awesome, unfortunately I can't really hear it. The audio is quite low, sorry to say.

[@perryt8442]

That Sub Octave added some seriuos beef to the Bass Solo..🐄🎸

[@JohnDoenNeKakl]

The Greatest trumpist man! Magician!

[@jettone11]

This before Stan Mark got fired for not being there for the downbeat of a gig. He told the story where no one woke him up on the bus for the gig. Maynard fired him and told him it was misplaced loyalty.

[@johnbottomley617]

Got to be more to that story...

[@eric_in_florida]

@@johnbottomley617 There is, there's a video on here of him explaining it all but basically yeah they let him sleep on purpose.

[@SamIAm-kz4hg]

At 40:32 he says something to Stan Mark that just cracks him up.

[@josemariaferreira7520]

O melhor trompetista de todos os tempos. Aqui no Brasil, sempre foi muito respeitado..

[@marcio_souza007]

Era dele um tema de abertura de um programa da Rádio Gaúcha, de Porto Alegre, que eu ouvia no rádio do meu pai, nos anos 80. Me marcou muito.

[@ddillon1022]

I remember trying out a MF Jet-Tone mouthpiece once, and I couldn't get a high C 😒 😂 Maynard had some incredible chops!!

[@gianlucadavino1740]

Great Maynard!!

[@JazzKeyboardist1]

a great tune to solo on

[@Hyslop65]

My guess is that Dave Mancini is the drummer

[@mikedennett8842]

Must be, that's what it says in the credits. :-)

[@Hyslop65]

Missed the credits. Thanks.

[@evdallas123]

the older he got the harder Mac park got for him

[@joksal9108]

Great comping behind Matt Bissonette’s bass solo on Birdland. I guess that’s Ron Pedley.

[@rostislavlinhart4455]

Maynard Very very good

[@nancygiroux3862]

Simply INSANE.

[@El_Bueno]

Damn that's a whole lotta hair...

[@chrish6659]

OK so it looks like a 10 to 12 years late to the party - where is part two?

[@marcio_souza007]

Muito bom!

[@sclotz]

Bone player on A-Train? Nice!

[@edwardcarr3625]

Chris Brayman.

[@greenockcut]

In Canada it's called Take the Train, Eh?

[@normal_media]

[@jeffsairplaneful]

I can hear everyone, except the trumpets are a little too low in volume...

[@kevinramlow3706]

...said noone ever!

[@jaredmessersmith3930]

Really good alto solo at 29:15

[@taliablair4847]

That’s my dad he said thank you

[@JazzKeyboardist1]

I was on that stage in 1978 and they bleached and fumicated it

[@evdallas123]

JazzKeyboardist1 why

[@chrispettus2532]

At 40:32, I wonder what Maynard said to Stan Mark to make him crack up.

[@BruceBromley]

Stand back boy, watch a real man play this LOL

[@SamIAm-kz4hg]

I just said the same thing and quoted the same time.

[@EdWeibe]

smokin.

[@tb7077]

Who’s the drummer?

[@funklover24]

Dave Mancini.

[@dcx45]

39:04 Chameleon

[@dcx45]

Trombone Solo!!!! Note to self - different universe.

[@dcx45]

Can I like my own comment year later - yes I can!

[@dcx45]

Having great conversation with self ...

[@woerge]

[@evdallas123]

[@midibass1]

Choppin woods basspl

[@jazzrat2000]

I always wondered if they had fertility problems after wearing those uranium pants

[@greenockcut]

Maynard sure does a lot of circular breathing! It's OK on the clarinet, but on the tuba it mak's ma heid birl roond!

[@evdallas123]

He didn't circular breathe

[@ultramannick]

With the exception of Stan Mark, I don't recognize any of these cats.

[@owenchapman971]

Matt bissonette bass player 👍🏽

[@larrysmith6797]

Denis DeBlasio baritone sax, arranged Sesame Street. Check out his KZbin channel for some great Maynard stories including "Saisame Street."

[@danielalex8426]

Uh

[@garrettgorby4408]

Pinching

[@erasermouthvids]

No

[@andytrumpet66]

Birdland, sax player do you know chord sequence?? rubbish

[@lethallama15]

+Andy Cornell dude hes in as fuck

[@greenockcut]

He's tenor player! He took it up a tone! And did it very well!

[@Frodohotep]

Maynard Ferguson Band: using high-level technical skills and poor taste to do a very impressive job of making good songs sound ugly.

[@joksal9108]

Well, that’s an opinion. It’s a tin-eared opinion, but you’re entitled to it.

[@alicegariepy4270]

ferguson is just show off it is not good trumpet playing

[@rontiemens2553]

+Alice Gariépy Doc Severinsen, who knows a thing or two about good trumpet playing, disagrees with you.

[@4stripes41]

+Alice Gariépy Perhaps you could venture to tell all us out here exactly what good trumpet playing is. I'm sincere and not being snotty.

[@twilliam043]

+Alice Gariépy Nice bait

[@simonlorlab]

De la trompette c'est souvent seulement que du show off, mais il y a du bon show off et du mauvais show off. Maynard Ferguson fait un excellent show off. Mais bon, chacun son opinion.
