the impossible dream -Maynard Ferguson

[@doris821]

Having heard Maynard only on albums or the radio, I *so* wanted to play like him. When I finally got to see him in concert in '82 I was 20... and he played this very tune... and I was blown away! A recording does *not* do his playing justice; I can still feel the awe and chills! He was so amiable to us in the audience, too. Great time!

So much feeling in all registers. Maynard could take a ballad, inject his soul into it, and KNOCK IT OUTTA THE PARK!

[@IMSDakota]

It took me years to get hold of this album. It is one of my all time favorites!

[@eugenefarrar1959]

I had it years ago on vinyl and lost it, great to find it on here, brilliant!

[@ThomasOlsen-n3z]

i love MAYNARD!

[@TheFreddenmark]

Very beautiful number - great band from Maynards days in England

[@gabemoore8119]

Have not heard this before. Saw Maynard a couple of times live. Miss that guy.

Maynard Ferguson invents the Power Ballad.

[@BrennenL]

why on EARTH is this not on streaming services? i.e., Apple Music? This album in general?

[@evdallas123]

He must have been using a symphony orchestra I have to find this album

[@ralphkramden1741]

So happy to hear Maynard's sweet middle register here at the beginning. I wish he would have stayed there the whole song.

[@eric_in_florida]

Nah then he would be Harry James.

[@frankmanthey2187]

Did you know that my son Michael was with Maynard when he left this life ?

[@eddieandujar6506]

Rest In Peace Maynard Ferguson.

[@Braglemaster123]

I thought it was only his family with him ????

[@Braglemaster123]

Who is your son ?? I’ll ask Wilder if your story is true .
