Maynard was so good. I mean I listen to him all the time but he never ceases to amaze me. He was just so talented it's unbelievable. You can practice all you want but odds are 90% of us will never be as good as him.
How about %100 of us?! ...I played all his charts - lead on them as well...played all the same notes, lots of people have. But it never SOUNDED like him...no one ever has, ever will...
@Fizz exactly, he was special. Made for that, like Messi for the ball. So unique tone, cos his lips stand different and it’s muscles were different. And so the mouthpiece was different, and so the bore was easy to make it large..
I saw him live, in Nutley, NJ, in 1972. He was amazing. I've heard every other well know trumpet master, but Maynard was the best.
Maynard Ferguson, very old fashioned name Maynard hehe........ Talent wow its beautifull and astounding!!!!!!! Very fine & classy.............
The album version of this. My first Maynard album.
One of the best of all time
absolutely one of my favorite songs
The Maynard difference from other trumpeters is that he plays the upper register with the same smoothness of two octaves below

Great song and great recording by MF, BUT he’s clearly miming this for the TV studio.
Idk, as far as his sound goes. Miyashiro comes pretty close I think.
