Once you hear Maynard's version, you just can't go back to the original, or any other version. RIP Maynard Ferguson, best trumpet player in the world.

Maynard in his screamer prime. He did some tremendous jazz in the 60s, and then transformed himself in the 70s. This performance can't be beat. Don't even try it. You'll hurt yourself.

He played it like a beast here, definitely poured it on full for the show. Didn't seem to need any kind of a rest on the last phrase this time, just pasted the ending.

That's not as difficult as he shows

Much respect to Maynard, but fuck that, I'm trying to be the best.

No doubt Maynard was in his prime in the 1970s. His albums during that period included the one simply titled Maynard Ferguson, MF1 and MF2, then Conquistador and New Vintage. They were all fantastic featuring the very best musicians. Maynard was a huge influence on me and many other aspiring trumpet players of his era. Hearing him play solos in the upper register excited you so much...it forced you to listen and then practice hard to get stronger and better.

I am good friends with a professional player. He has been giving me tips like that for years.
