Maynard and Stan Kenton high school learning to play trumpet how can anybody play valve trombone and then pick up the truck and hit those high notes so Maynard every time he came to Buffalo last time was at the Royal arms club and it was like the Maynard Ferguson sex have all the albums except for that one and that era starting with Maynard‘s dream band the first one when it was playing with as lead player was dynamiteall through high school I wanted to be a high note guy I just above notes those were all the band all the time Maynard every time he came and Kent for the prom at my university Saint Bonaventure I do miss him I’m glad I have the vinyl
I went to see MF in the 70's 80's until his passing . I have every ticket stub...... 525 of them. I missed a few shows. However my favorite MF period is this one. a Giant Band and swinging. However I think this is a studio Band from London. Also MF is on soooo many movie sound tracks.
When I first heard Maynard double on other brass instruments, that inspired me to branch out from trumpet. Baritone Horn, Valve Tromebone, and a few others. Just that, is a positive trait in itself for inspiring brass players.
WHat an amazing Post.. I love his big band stuff but his small group stuff was my favorite.. I Love this post. Thanks .. I almost played with his group.
OMG - real musicians . Maynard was simply amazing. I saw him live when I was in high school in the mid 70’s . 1976 graduate in Erie Pa. He and his all start young band was amazing live . Love this music ….
This was lovely. Back in those days, he actually took the time to articulate notes and attempt to really play the trumpet, instead of the later years where he just rolled the valves around and made obnoxious high note noises to impress the uninformed. He had amazing talent and was an amazing player in his younger years. The later years - mostly junk.
First off how did the director miss the bass solo?? No rehearsal? Great sound crappy footage. He had amazing Jazz chops to go along with the High range for sure,
I went to see Maynard at a small club back in 1976. The drummer was an unknown to me at the time, called Steve Gadd who went on to record Aja that next year with Steely Dan. That was a magic night.
Maynard was an amazing player back then. Not only the high range, but the musical style he played with, and how he could go up and down so easily. His improv was always spot on. It's quite amazing he could do ALL of those things so well, and yet in a way it seems so effortless to him.
Great arrangements,great musicianship,and performance.... but it doesn't appear to actually be "live".This is no criticism;it's devilishly hard to capture a performance like this, especially with the overlapping sounds that you will hear in the background inherent in the performance of a big band on stage!. if you look carefully at the trumpet player's fingers, or the saxophone players fingerings ;they don't always match up. Again ,this is to be expected; and Maynard Ferguson is the best!.
this is the time when you want to see Maynard to play endlessly. miss him big time.... do you have a full concert by any chance ? thanks for the post this very unique footage:)
I heard Maynard started as a trombone player. I noticed that one of the trombonists was playing a valve bone. I had also heard that Maynard was responsible for the super bone, which is a valve bone with a slide. I didn't see this guy move the slide, so I'm not sure if it was a super bone or not, but it was interesting to see a valve bone none the less.
Maynard played trombone with Kenton in the Dee Barton era (Here's Tn this clip he is playing a regular valve trombone. He had the Superbone built to his order (I think) in the early 1970s, well after this was filmed. Had it existed at this time I am sure he would have used it in this performance.
He’s playing a valve trombone here. The Superbone was something Maynard designed with Holton later on in the ‘70’s. Opposite to this video’s valve trombone, the Super Bone (sometimes referred to as a double trombone) has valves that are fingered with the player’s left hand, up by the player’s face, just past the mouthpiece (and the right hand operates the main slide, just like a standard slide trombone.))
Rick Giles It’s a special instrument made especially for Maynard. I forget what he called it. Trombones, ordinarily, have to be played with the slide, unless it is a valve trombone.

Live at Jimmies an unbelievable album
Who ever said Maynard couldn’t or was not a jazz musician? He had great jazz chops.

Замечательный 'стратосферный' джазовый трубач Мэйнард Фергюсон! Спасибо блогеру за историческую память
As Jake Hanna used to say "Right down the middle baby!"
Let your light shine down
I didnt know they had a superbone back then

Saw him in 76 as well... I was a senior. Our stage band went and saw him in Houston at the LA Bastille club.
That’s when Maynard was in the Stan Kenton Orchestra
Eccezionale, non è solo un formidabile solista, ma anche un ottimo direttore d' orchestra.

You must know nothing of music. Your ignorance of his talent speaks volumes. I’m 72 and a professional musician. There will never be another Maynard.
WOW - Swingin’ MAYNARD!!! …Danny Boy is gorgeous too. THANK YOU for posting this gem l. 👏👏🎺

Dang....what hasn't Gadd done...that man is all over my music library !!

Because he was a natural
Teddy is in the Trumpet section

Maynard a true legend, and musical hero.
タイマーが邪魔だ。でもなんとなくアートっぽい。
Is he using a conn trumpet?
Conn Connstellation 38B
he used a 38b on LIVE gigs but a 36b for recording in the studio
Saw Maynard Ferguson at Town Casino in Buffalo NY. Feel lucky to have seen him and his band play.
Aaaauuuchchchch!!! Splendid!!!
Well, one of the trumpet player’s clapped ~
There's nothing like a live big band. It will just bowl you over.
Drummer-is it Roberto Petacchia?
Can anyone confirm if that 'bone was just a valve, or was it his superbone? (valve and slide)?
He’s playing a valve trombone here. The Superbone was something Maynard designed with Holton later on in the ‘70’s. Opposite to this video’s valve trombone, the Super Bone (sometimes referred to as a double trombone) has valves that are fingered with the player’s left hand, up by the player’s face, just past the mouthpiece (and the right hand operates the main slide, just like a standard slide trombone.))
Could the boss play jazz or what? Sweet🎼🎶🎺🎺
2020?
The band was the"Canadian All Star Jazz band" CBC TV-Toronto. circa 1959.
Wow! Holy cow. What an amazing recording. Maynard is the best.
Maynard soloing in both the trombone and trumpet consecutively, miss him so much !!
"The Canadian All Star Jazz Band"-Toronto 1959.
It was the"All Star Canadian Jazz Band" .Fantastic players, circa 1959 from Toronto.
I've seen him play live and seen many many videos. I don't recall him ever using music.
He would have music out for a new chart, but at 250 gigs a year, you can't help but memorize it all.
@@ajn465 I saw him live many times, and have seen dozens and dozens of videos. I don't agree. Most of us would not memorize it all.
I did not know a trombone could be played without actually using the slide. *Mind Blown*
