R.I.P Maynard Ferguson: The most talented trumpet player I have ever seen.

[@Guitarsandmore]

Take a simple song and turn it into something amazing..shows what you can do with jazz.

[@SuperBoyz2men]

The original is way better

[@mikeradman]

With great memories I can say I was able to play this song with Dennis DiBlasio when he came to Orchard Park High in 1988. We played this song for over 15 minutes and we had every instrument in the school take a solo. What great memories for me.

[@jeremypalmer4089]

my father played on Dennis DiBlasio's reed

[@lupercal78]

Dennis DiBlasio did the same thing at my high school in 1993. I will never forget it.

[@davidgoode1090]

Lucky to have him as an instructor at school. Man’s educational talent is unmatched

[@kesslerrb]

I had the opportunity to share a stage with Denis in 1988 at the Midwest Clinic…great memories as well!

[@beechrgrad88]

Same here he came to Mott Community College in 1989 and put on a workshop when i was in the Jazz Band.

[@blackhawkrider161]

I've loved Maynards albulms since I was in high school, but the part I love the best is that his first chair trumpet gets an octave higher sometimes, and he's IN TUNE! LOL

[@thomastarwater2989]

Leave it to Maynard Ferguson and the boys in the band to take that well-known children’s song and turn it into a masterpiece of jazz. The baritone saxophonist was on fire. So was Maynard. I got to see those guys live at Cuesta Community College in 1977 while I was a student there. Good times indeed.

[@EdWeibe]

Making it to that school buss with a little swing in your step.

[@D0dson]

My school got Maynard and his crew at the time to come play a gig in our theater. Sold out show. He demanded a steak dinner and red wine. It was godlike.

[@irishbenocpa]

I miss the Boss. met him a number of times. He was my trumpet hero.

[@erossphone]

Pure power!! Love the baritone sax solo!!

[@themeleed]

I love that bari sax/flute guy with the billy mays style beard!!

[@gstockwell5315]

How music touches the soul❤

[@EdWeibe]

me too

[@isleofcapri2]

wow, what a GROOVY Sesame Street! I want to live there!

[@KennyOlson]

my brother left this cd at my house when I was a freshman in highschool... never left my cd player. I would be lying in bed at night trying to sleep listening to this track and snapping my fingers wishing it was me on stage.

[@donslocombjr.822]

Maynard always had such great musicians in his band. That was one of the things that made him so popular, people came to see him Maynard’s guys.

[@MrZELDAtwilightPRINC]

I was listening to another song by Maynard and I saw this on a list of video and I wanted to listen to this and my reaction was shocked and amazed.

[@manuelpulunto1572]

KillerKenzie12 same

[@AbbeB]

KillerKenzie12 Amazing!!!!!

[@ryankaefer9723]

4:48 sums up Maynard in 3 seconds

[@just_j0ey]

That bari sax solo is incredible! :o

[@pharmrjohn]

Saw Maynard a few times in the early eighties. Great show.

[@jvh8806]

Maynard Ferguson = coolest trumpet player in human history!!!!

[@timothydillow3160]

Hands down the greatest horn player I've seen in my lifetime. I was a jazz trumpet player and saw him in high school in 1979, in Garden Grove, Ca. Absolutely My greatest inspiration as a teenager playing in jazz band. MF horn 1 and 2 are some of my most beloved and treasured albums.. got to shake the hand of the man. Also saw him at Disneyland. Jazz orchestras are something else that is disappearing in front of our eyes. But I won't let it die. I still play Air trumpet, like I did in 1977,..probably the only kid on my block ever to do that. When I saw him at Garden Grove high he started to give the intro to a Sonny Rollins tune; and from the front row I screamed, " Airegin" He looks out at the audience and says, "Oh ! , we've got some be- boppers in the crowd tonight.," td

[@maleik6363]

I love it!!! Anything he arranges sounds so beautiful

[@DKaTz198]

love the shake at the start from stan

[@NumbChuckles]

Played this song my freshman year, very challenging but one of my favorites.

[@Jakeypoo05]

It's my freshman year and I'm playing it

[@tekkno2024]

Same. And we’re performing it live in front of my entire city at a festival. I’ve only played trombone for a month so I’m praying to god I can pull something out of myself today.

[@Eduff5664]

God, this guy has an amazing set of chops. Well done! Love the Sesame St. theme song.

[@dylangatenby9928]

Love this chart. Maynard was so gifted. He could play so well.

[@amixitupr9399]

Talent pure and simple

[@tonygovender3805]

Blessings to the Legend Maynard Ferguson. ❤❤

[@nancygiroux3862]

This is simply once again....insanely superb material. Period.

[@DEADNIGHTWARRIOR93]

man i havent seen a bari sax solo in a while! good show!

[@JazzKeyboardist1]

another fun song to put in a medley when playing jazz tunes

[@irishbenocpa]

Denis Diblasio was and still is amazing.

[@assignmentearth2899]

Ok, I'm going to say it. Lot of different schools of thought but Stan Mark was the greatest lead trumpet Maynard ever had! He played when Maynard wasn't playing, filling in space, and made you think it was Maynard. For years,.... listening to recordings there were places I thought it was Maynard and it was Stan filling in. Copped his style perfectly - dare I say better at times.

[@cadillacdude1975]

as good as stan mark may have been, everyone has a dark side and he was a very evil backstabbing man. if anyone knows how he treated and talked to craig anderson, you know what i am talking about.

[@assignmentearth2899]

cadillacdude1975 Hmm. Don't know anything about personal history or behavior. Have learned after all the years to separate the person from the performance and legacy they left. I do believe in being a good person. Not saying that's not important. I think that really counts. But whenever I've heard things about heroes of mine - William Shatner, Arnold Swarzenegger, even Doc Sevrinsen and Maynard I try to filter that out of the other positive qualities they translated to me through their performance. Yeah, it's unfortunate when people forget how to be good to people. Seems that has a way of working it's self out through universal karma, or whatever you want to call it, eventually. Still loved Stan the player. Man! What a sound!

[@theUnholyStIkKiLA]

+assignmentearth Doc is a jerk. lol

[@kgoerbig]

You want to meet some humble, nice trumpet cats? Allen Vizzutti & Wayne Bergeron. Awesome, and totally Down-To-Earth.

[@kdm71291]

I wonder how many people get you screen name and profile pic, haha! (I do) Doc and Maynard are my trumpet heroes. Regretfully, I have never seen Doc in person and Maynard only twice: For his HOT album and during the High Voltage era.....both times were fantastic!

[@gregtake3857]

Love, love, LOVE this hot arrangement.

[@Dasmeyer]

Awesome song and musicians in this!

[@nancygiroux3862]

If you listen carefully....The BOSS rules. What a rock & roll type Upper Register arrangement. Man, Maynard was ON that night!! Excellent!! Wowzers!

[@Angelsmetalful]

The people that didn't like this video are music haters... this is truly Awesome!!!.....

[@MrTrentonimo]

The shinyness of the trumpet adds a nice effect on the video

[@gfworthington]

This should be played on the actual show...

[@goatwithat]

I got to meet Denis Diblasio last summer. It was amazing.

[@LisaMCD00]

The man set the theme from Sesame Street to big band jazz! Sesame Street! Oh my gosh! What a guy!

[@TheFarmersLife]

Storm was one of the first albums I ever owned, and it’s still one of my favorites of any genre. The version of Sesame Street on there is killer. The sax solo is even better IMHO.

[@gmo709]

Cool stuff. ..on another level.

[@AndrewBarsky]

Diblasio is one of those rare baritone heroes. A beast!

[@johnsjohnson448]

Brought to you by the letters: "JAM!" Thanks for sharing.

[@deeaplw]

this gave me the utmost respect for Sesame Street!

[@justingould9392]

This band is amazing

[@LilZack14]

Simply awe-struck! Amazing!!!

[@damarifriasrodridriguez]

Mi trompetista preferido por los st de los siglos

[@jtubz614]

Lovin the tone on that bass.

[@guskartsotis7013]

Bless You Maynard F

[@langdonplayer]

I second that. UNBELIEVABLE

[@colleenmichele9787]

Wow... Incredible!

[@JazzKeyboardist1]

cool, this is a fun song to put in any melody for name that tune

[@Gary4320]

A kick ass chart.

[@luvmymuse]

Ahhhhh....feelgood jazz!

[@marcmadonna725]

Maynards ability to play insane high regester is mind blowing.... Who else can shake a triple c.... Like no one ever.... Ridiculas talent...... Rip Maynard...... You have us the standard to all jazz trumpet players will follow ... But no o,e will ever be you.

[@DtaHippie]

Maynard can hit low notes O.o ! Lol. Wow this is amazing

[@veltford911411]

Respect..........

[@NoahChubb]

I got to play with the man that composed this song (Dennis DiBlasio). Absolute genius. I'd have to say it was the privilege of a lifetime. Did you know Maynard had never even heard of Sesame Street before performing it the first time?

[@jazzviscosity]

so good.

[@hanj31]

I love denis diblasio!

[@squirtlesquad28]

thank you very much kind sir, i will now proceed to download it

[@marcmadonna725]

Maynard. Was freaking god... I Challenger anyone hit the notes that he hits at his precision....... Wynton Marsalis has no chance of getting within two octaves of what Maynard could do and do effortlessly He is the Buddy Rich of trumpets and we should be very thankful that we were able to see him perform live thank you KZbin

[@alexanderhall3064]

Amen Marc. Maynard is 20 times the trumpet player and musician that his critics ever were. I know of no trumpet player who could play his book every night like he did. He was a freak of nature.

[@justineckert4555]

We play this arrangement in band but half time feel. So fun

[@bajeebazus]

The only man who could play "Mary Had A Little Lamb" and make it sound completely epic and Wagnerian.

[@joycelynbrown7007]

this is my type of culture jazz.

[@shartmaster11]

@Berserkedy love this tune. actually got a chance to play with Denis a couple days ago along with george rabbai and Jim Mcfalls.

[@mcmeekz]

that bari...damn...i think i know what love is

[@Braglemaster123]

Great

[@DancingSpiderman]

Maynard reminds me of my neurotic high school band teacher from the late '70s.

[@jimlalumondier3701]

They played at my high school.

[@2000hawnmelissa]

Awsome!

[@averythornsberry3134]

GAH, Such a beast!!!

[@jordanmorack9122]

Scrub

[@porcaro4ever]

Damn Matt can lay down a smooth bass line!!

[@armytrpt1979]

I dont remember seeing big bird dance to this! Such a cool take on a childhood memory

[@JazzKeyboardist1]

it is a fun song to put in a medley

[@MFjazzfan]

1 person doesnt know maynard ferguson and how great he makes songs!

[@Lesnik2akk]

Фергюсон....Это ГЕНИЙ!!!!!!! Может вы не поверите,но в России его не только слушают,но и исполняют.

[@habadebadoba]

I would like to live on this most jazzy Sesame Street

[@lwskiner]

Stan Mark was a great lead player but on the next album Maynard put out after Mark was fired Alan Wise hit it out of the park on the Live from San Francisco album and that was a very difficult book to play out of.

[@melekben-ayed7126]

were gonna play this in a jazz concert

[@matthewgraham7973]

Must play..

[@JazzKeyboardist1]

Oscar got Grouchy because he couldn't play an instrument and shrunk their tee shirts

[@TheLucioCosta]

yes, beautiful I like of jazz thats good

[@CaptianBigums]

I hate it when my fellow trumpets in my band go higher than the trumpet sounds nice, but this guy is accepteble, he sounds great and even better in the high notes

[@Bruh-wt9zv]

Captian Bigums acceptable? Are you kidding me

[@soggyvideos5038]

He's not just acceptable, he's a god!

[@AllenK17]

I'm diggin that bass player

[@KG7840]

My guess would be Denis DiBlasio. He was arranging a lot of Maynard's charts in the late 70s and early 80s.

[@KennyOlson]

Storm by Maynard Ferguson

[@alexwilliams1233]

Who played bari sax? God damn.

[@christopherfischer6998]

Dennis Diblasio!

[@Tapper7]

DB rocks. DC rules. 'nuff said. +1

[@zebra3stripes]

Hoots the Owl

[@susansilk-koenigsberg3368]

I don't know.

[@connorm3245]

I met him last year. He is such a nice bloke!

[@davidcarson1959]

Jet-Tone, baby!

[@cduggan7070]

i love the bari sax solo. at first he's like i suck, then he's like im just fucking with you guys then does a rippin solo for a bit.

[@rossman1211]

I remember playing in high school

[@NoahChubb]

@MrTrumpetkid24 That'd be Alan Wise. Magnificent musician, and I got the privilege to play with him too. I'd have to say these men are genius's.

[@gotosoda]

the one person that disliked it went on an adventure with Dora instead of going to Sesame Street

[@jorymil]

The tune's AABA, but the solos are 12-bar blues? Interesting.

[@JazzKeyboardist1]

+John Miller ....They might have learned that trick from me.. I do that with the Andy Griffith .. and the flintstones theme on my channel..

[@terryobrien9846]

We used to do that when I was a student, if we needed to fluff out a gig or something. Play the head of any piece, then 12-bar all the solos. We also weren't that good back then. ;-)

[@GidsyWidsy]

play this in big band, such a groovy piece :)

[@zuazema]

Who would have thought a children's tv show theme could be this intense?

[@KruxisV]

Maynard's trumpet has Akira Lines all over the place.

[@carissakasper8140]

My friend wanted to play jazz, so I sent her this. I think it was a mistake.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

hehehe

[@matthewgraham7973]

why did we not do this arrangement in Griffin band..
