Wayne Bergeron McCarthur Park

[@fsafety1391]

Doc is retired at 93, Maynard and Derick have left us. What we have here is a musician that can carry on the tradition of great trumpeters, with very good musician backups. Thank you.

[@kennethtalbott2233]

Loved Doc, he just kept on going, still awesome, used to like Maynard but got tired of all the screaming. you are correct, some good guys here learning the trade,

[@gregorydyess9615]

I just noticed he's playing with the University of North Texas Jazz Band. My younger daughter went to school there and one time I was up and had the fortune of watching one of their jazz bands playing in their rec center. It was an absolutely AMAZING group. Even better it was almost 2 hours of music and all free!

[@thomassicard3733]

UNT, formerly North Texas State Univerity (NTSU), is the epicenter of jazz in the multiverse.

[@therighthandmann]

40 years ago when I lived in Dallas, NTSU One O'Clock Lab Band members would come down now and then to play (for free I think). Many of their alumni played in the Dallas Jazz Orchestra. Bill Tillman (RIP) played with DJO as well.

[@zzschulzz]

I love the look Wayne gives the guitar player for the "wha aaaah."

[@sammy2840]

Played with Doc in HS! Great player! Went to a Chase concert at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake! Ears rang for three days! We loved it!😊

[@charlesarmstrong5292]

Super original arrangement excellently played. Loved the soulful little trombone break near the beginning and the impromptu funky flutes taking fours. Thank you

[@kdm71291]

He had a lot to live up to....Maynard Ferguson and Doc Severinsen both did great versions of this song!

[@MickeyKraut419]

Well... Wayne did spend a number of years playing with Maynard's bands and learning a lot from him, as well as Arturo Sandoval... He carries on the torch of being one of the best players in the upper registers very well, and is one of the most prolific session trumpet players in the last 30 years... Dude has massive chops and a STACKED resume.

[@christopherholt9682]

He does a damn good job that's for sure !

[@kennethtalbott2233]

some great playing by all, loved the sax guy and the flutes. awesome. wayne just doing his thing. loved it.

[@dave-xp9ie]

Kind of lose me halfway in the song but get me back at the end. Amazing and talented musicians. Brings me back to my Junior High and High School days listening to Maynard. I played back then and even traveled in a band a bit. But I quit because I could never even got close to what Maynard and his guys were doing. I greatly regret being a quitter as now I am getting old and want to pass on the love of rock-jazz screaming trumpet and blasting trombone music to my grandsons. I will definitely give it a shot. Gonna dust off the old Martin and see if I can get a little something back. Maybe Wayne’s version of O’ Holy Night by Christmas? A couple of octaves lower of course… 😉

[@josephchapa3603]

i used to idolize Maynard & Wayne in my band days and as most trumpet players were, i was obsessed with improving my upper register to get to the level of Maynard and Wayne, but of course to no avail. Now that I left band and I look back on these videos of Wayne performing, it too makes me wanna bring back my trumpet to play once again.

[@frankdaleccio927]

Dave , you basically have almost exactly same story I could have told of way back and when..I am also a critical listener of all great trumpet players ...but on this one I'd say Waynard slightly disappointed me just a little bit. Upper register sounded weak and thin as if he was choking due to a shallow cup mouth piece.

[@bobviavattine1715]

That sound. One in a milion. Wayne is the man..........

[@weatherchaser1166]

I like how he shot a wry smile to the synth guy when he threw in that little wrinkle

[@rickdenney5772]

That wrinkle was straight off Maynard Ferguson’s MF Horn 4-5, Live at Jimmy’s. I suspect that’s first time he played it, and Wayne obviously knew the reference. Wayne is awesome, but Maynard had such fluidity in the screamer range.

Fantastic performance of Mac Arthur Park, great performance by this orchestra and trumpeter Bergstrom. With all due respect however try to get the spelling of Mac Arthur Park correct, the way I spelled it here. By the way, the trombonist's solo was excellent also.

Nice performance. Sounded like Wayne was pinching off on the upper register. Chops might have been a little tired. Trombone solo was great. Love live M.F.

[@TrevorCockerson]

What are you talkin about, you hear that sound quality? You don’t achieve that from pinching my friend. Besides, who the fuck cares anyway?

[@ScottLawson1]

I agree. I've listened to a ton of Bergeron's stuff and he's sounded a lot better than he did here. Not that he sounded bad, by any means, but he's absolutely phenomenal when he's "on". This sounded like he was a bit "off"....although his "off" is better than 99.9% of trumpet players out there.

Wayne is a great player and clean etc but there is no soul in his playing... kind of like listening to a clean computer voice etc. Maynard was dirty, not perfect and as he got older it was worse but he had so much fosre and style. Watching Wayne is like watching paint dry... he is an amazing player... just not someone you want leading a band. Great sideman for sure.
