Right on guys! I remember my friends and I always rushing home from school whenever we knew Maynard would be on one of these shows like Dinah Shore, Merv Griffin or Mike Douglas. He was like a rock star in the 70's, was even on the pop radio stations with Rocky, pretty fun times.
This piece is simply sick. Obscene. Every time I watch it, I get goose bumps. Never, ever seen the Boss so ON. Blew Dinah away...Wish he woulda blown a Super C in little Richies right ear!!! You are the Best Maynard. Forever.
OM Good Lord there just is no one like him. His passion for music was so easy to hear when he performed as someone else said. He is like a pro athlete playing in the superbowl EVERY performance .... He leaves it all on the stage for the fans.
Read the Wikipedia bio of Dinah Shore. She really WAS a TV and radio star; very much a child of the media, as much as one could be at the time. Fact is--people LOVED her. And her contemporaries with much better voices thought she was a terrific singer. She was very lucky--but she also worked very, very hard to get there.
Maynard answered a question one time, where are those notes coming from!?!?! He said i feel like they are coming from the bottom of my feet! and from the looks of it @3:34, they really were! LOL!
This band was cold as f##k. For the squares, this is the highest compliment. It means they were fantastically outstanding.. Led by one of the greatest. R.I.P. Maynard, we miss you man....
same here Groovinhigher. we would leave school when MF was on. i have great footage of him on Dinah as well, doing Pagliacci, Primal Scream as well as many other shows around then. great stuff! from the Master!
This show was recorded in May (I think) of 1976. The band at that time was: Mike Migliore (alto) (sorry about the spelling, Mike), Mark Colby (tenor), Bobby Militello (bari), Randy Purcell & Chuck Bennet (tbn), Stan Mark, Joe Mosello, Dennis Noday & Ron Tooley (tpt), Biff Hannon (pno), Gordon Johnson (bs) & Bob Wyatt (dr)
Wow... The band the band was great, but so was Dinah... She still did that "crooning" thing, but she was pretty "hep" (get it?) for someone who was in her 60s in the 1970s....
MAYNARD FERGUSON ! He should always be introduced the way Stan Kenton said (in the piece "This is an Orchestra) "a musician who can stir feelings of fire" - - - when at his best, it was THE best - - and still to this day others stand in line waiting to try but only come up short. This is not to say that there aren't great players out there - - yes there are ! but comparisons should never be made.
Gotta love the knee shimmy at the end from Maynard. And that B, E, F#, phat fu**ing monster B at the end. Hilarious! Dinah doubled over cuz Maynard blasted her right in the face. A trumpet cream pie from the Boss. ROFLMFAO
@shnewsman, indeed. Despite what we may think about her "singing" there's no denying that warm, friendly essence she exuded. Her musical talent is questionable but it's obvious why she was a popular personality on Radio & TV.
I tend to agree with you about her singing. My point was despite her voice, she was a huge star. Her daytime talk show was just horrible, but people watched it in droves. She simply had the 'it' factor and played it to the hilt.
@shnewsman Ouch, but yeah, I'm forced to agree. I liked Dinah, thought she was very classy and quite funny in her low-key way, but moments like this used to make me cringe when I'd watch, which wasn't often--depended on her guest. She really shines singing songs like "The Last Time I Saw Paris" and so on--also love her paired with Danny Kaye in the Goldwyn wartime musical "Up In Arms". Their wild "Torchy Tess" duet is wonderful. I think that clip is around here somewhere...
I don't think this was actually on "The Dinah Shore Show" as that show lasted 1951-1957 according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dinah_Shore_Show It does look like the 70's, so maybe it is from "Dinah's Place" or "Dinah!"?
@shnewsman, I'm not doubting Miss Shore's popularity or work ethic, I'm simply stating that IMO there were MUCH BETTER singers elsewhere that never received half her fame. I'm a vinyl collector & lifelong fan of Classic Pop & Jazz. What's frustrating is that I know Miss Shore's material & I've tried hard to like her vocals. At some point I had to admit to myself that she just wasn't all that good. & I usually take industry people praising each other with a grain of salt. All part of the game.
@shnewsman LOL... "Hippest thing she ever did was Burt Reynolds".....Brilliant. Yeah, that vibrato is not for this style of music....Her dopey producers should have known better... At least make it UPBEAT (which they do for a slight break...eek!) Warble warble warble... Standards, please DInah!!!!
I've always felt Miss Shore was a lackluster vocalist with a shrill, irritating tone. That includes her early period of "standards" & later attempts at singing contemporary songs. She was a straight-ahead Pop singer of the 40s & 50s & even by those standards she was inferior to Margaret Whiting, Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney, etc. How she became a recording superstar is beyond me? I can only guess that she benefited from the exposure of Radio & early TV, where her warm personality was displayed.
Dinah Shore, RIP, was never very hip. She couldn't sing "songs of the day." She was best on old standards and Great American Songbook. She used to routinely butcher contemporary songs. Hippest thing she ever did was Burt Reynolds.
The end was incredible. The Boss
Mike Migliore on alto sax- my old friend and bandmate. He is really missed.
HOLY SMOKES..
Maaann
Imppresively GORGEOUS..🎶🎶🎶🎶🎤🎤🎤🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺👌👌👌👌❤❤❤

Maynard's too much. Too great. Love that manic, over the top approach to the ballad...on every stanza. Only Maynard. Viva Maynard.
This piece is simply sick. Obscene. Every time I watch it, I get goose bumps. Never, ever seen the Boss so ON. Blew Dinah away...Wish he woulda blown a Super C in little Richies right ear!!!
You are the Best Maynard. Forever.
Truth.
Welled me up. Tears man...presence of greatness.
No trumpet player, past or future could bring it like the BOSS did here. Not a chance. This is simply high powered, full tilt MF Horn.
Maynard was a one time gift from The Lord.All trumpets will acknowledge there is only one Maynard Ferguson.❤
OM Good Lord there just is no one like him. His passion for music was so easy to hear when he performed as someone else said. He is like a pro athlete playing in the superbowl EVERY performance .... He leaves it all on the stage for the fans.
The world is not the same without him. The one and only...PERIOD.
Maynard was popping off those double high Cs like no tomorrow. They rattled the windows.
OUCH!!! Maynard is great...wow...

Amazing Kiss of at the end!!!
Wow. The boss was on it!!! Awesome 👌
Beyond Beautiful..

Who could dislike this video?!?!?
If I played like that into a vocalists ear I would get shot! Maynard was on though!
Insane.
Wow... The band the band was great, but so was Dinah... She still did that "crooning" thing, but she was pretty "hep" (get it?) for someone who was in her 60s in the 1970s....
Awesome! Maynard was in his prime.
Great 👍
Too bad this chart never made it onto an album. I always liked Dinah. She wasn't a great singer, but she had her niche and she fit it well.
MAYNARD FERGUSON ! He should always be introduced the way Stan Kenton said (in the piece "This is an Orchestra) "a musician who can stir feelings of fire"
- - - when at his best, it was THE best - - and still to this day others stand in line waiting to try but only come up short. This is not to say that there aren't great players out there - - yes there are ! but comparisons should never be made.
The Boss. That is all.
Could somone please upload more of Dinah Shore singing in the 1970's
Gotta love the knee shimmy at the end from Maynard. And that B, E, F#, phat fu**ing monster B at the end. Hilarious! Dinah doubled over cuz Maynard blasted her right in the face. A trumpet cream pie from the Boss. ROFLMFAO
WE ARE NOT WORTHY!!!!!!
Oh the Boss Was feelin it alright! These were the heroin years! Love the BOSS. Met him many times. Miss him dearly RIP Maynard!
The heroin years??? 🙄
Hero years. Fixed it for you.
P. H. E. N. O. M. E. N. A. L.

I think Maynard and Dinah had a little chemistry, and loved performing together.
HE did the impossible
insane
as great as Dinah was she was no match for that gang of hardcore jazz men!
The AR men never had the balls to tell her she was flat😂
