Caravan
Big Bop Nouveau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The myst'ry of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sand so I may keep
The mem'ry of our caravan
You are so inviting
Resting in my arms
As I thrill to the magic charms
Of you beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan
The lyrics to Big Bop Nouveau's song "Caravan" speak to the romance and adventure of a desert journey. The first verse establishes the setting with a vivid depiction of the night sky above their caravan, with stars that shine brightly before fading away. The second verse depicts the intimacy between the two travelers, as one sleeps on the other's shoulder as they traverse the sand. The chorus expresses the excitement and wonder of the experience, with the singer marveling at the magic of being beside their companion in such a beautiful, exotic setting.
Overall, the song reflects the fantasy of escaping from the mundane routines of daily life and experiencing something new and exciting. The desert setting lends itself to this sense of adventure and exploration, as the travelers lose themselves in the wonder of the landscape and the thrill of being together.

There is no trumpet player today, or probably ever, that could stand up in front of an outstanding band and lead the band while playing solos and lead parts in all songs the entire night. Maynard had the talent, personality and overwhelming experience which allowed him to do just that. In today's world you simply cannot get the experience to do it. Also, there will never be another trumpet player with the talent of Maynard. It simply won't ever happen again. So, enjoy these videos of Maynard and his band because you will never see it again.

Arturo Sandoval is another good one

I traveled from Toronto Canada in 1990 to see Maynard at the marquee theatre in Buffalo and somehow got back stage to see my hero I have the photo autograph on an American one dollar bill I'm now 60 and have followed Maynard since the age of 12 and totally loyal to this day. I'm sooooo proud that Maynard was born and raised in Canada!!! Yes, the world's greatest trumpet player
@adityatyagi4009
I love how Maynard shakes the hand of the soloist after he takes a solo. Such a kind, classy, and gracious man!

Contrast that with Buddy Rich who used to berate his guys if they screwed up. Always hated to hear that cuz loved his bands.
@joksal9108
@@eric_in_floridaWhich is why Maynard’s band was so much more fun than Buddy’s. Buddy’s band was a perfect machine. Maynard’s band was not as tight, but he had better soloists and a real rapport with audiences. I bet even the ultimate Buddy fan couldn’t name ten important soloists out of his bands. Steve Marcus, Bobby Shew, Jimmy Bruno, and you’re done.

Maynard was an absolute legend to us high school jazz players in the 70's and 80's. Saw him 3 times. RIP My man.
