Mike Douglas was daytime TV - this is the same group that played the awesome version of "Gonna Fly Now" - in fact, Maynard's wearing the same suit - they could have done that gig at night, and had an early gig for Mike Douglas the next morning - one of the rare times I've heard Maynard split and flub a note - however, this is a look at one of his greatest big bands, and when he was in his best playing condition. Thanks for the post!
History will remember them. The greatest figures of a fresh and innovative musical genre that emerged in the 20th century. Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans... and Maynard Ferguson playing the Star Trek theme out of tune and up an octave! Masterful!
I was just replying to a Facebook 70 group query post, "What's the best 70s flute solo?". I'm just here to grab the Link and insert it between all the Jethro Tull replies.
Maynard was the greatest trumpet player of all time. I saw him in night clubs and in concert dozens of times from the early 70's to the end of his career. No-one could match him on stage or on record. Keep in mind he fronted his band playing lead and solos on every tune the entire night while doing a great job interacting with the audience and the band members. He was a great entertainer. There will never be another even close to him.
Back in the 70's I saw him for free at the Top of the Ponch in Detroit. The stage was only about two feet high. I was literally sitting at his feet in front of him and his microphone fell off the stand and in my lap. I handed it back to him and he winked at me. It was awesome!
The incorporation of the jazz flute was big then. You had jethro Tull, Loggins/Messina, Chicago and others who were capturing alot of similar sounds but MF was a true artist. The loss of him to trumpet players and jazz was really huge. He is missed.
i wish i could find a full length perfomance of this particualr song. I was blown away by this track ever since i was a little kid, and my folks bought the when it was first released, and they used to play it all the time.
yeah, he had a flub or two, but no biggie...from this same show, i have seen a full version of MF and the band playing Rocky...Maynard is absolutely at the top of his game...best Rocky performance i ever heard him play
@DarthClam The song was written by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and Alex Courage specifically for the show. Don't know if anybody was an original performer of it.
They were getting paid, it was the '80s and times were tough. Maynard had a big family and he did what he had to do. Look at Satchmo with the Hello Dolly stuff. These guys have to roll with the punches. They're pro's.
Keyboard Player, Biff Hannon I think his name was. I got to meet him back in the day :) at a rhythm section clinic. He was bad-ass...He had one of those Poly-moogs when they first came out ^-^
The wird thing about this arrangement is its by Jay Chattaway who went on two write the music for Star Trek The Next Generation, although this is a few years earlier than the star trek movies he scored or the next generation.
Yup. Bobby M on flute, Biff Hannon on keys, Gordy Johnson on bass(who was actually a flute major at Eastman) and, I think, Peter Erskine on Drums. Quite a band..prob ably '76 or '77.
I wish they'd have let Bobby finish the flute solo. The band was also on Merv Griffin around that time and Bobby did get to finish the solo. The song is from "Conquistador" originally, then was released a second time on another album. As far as I could tell the only difference was that the fade out was extended to hear Maynard's final high note.
NYに行きたいか！！！ って言われると反応する日本人 多し
What I love about Maynard Ferguson is if he misses a note he just bends it into place.
Danny Phillips 6
all the trumpet players do it.
He did it all the time. And increasingly as he aged.
there are no wrong or missed notes in jazz, it's interpretation
Kinda like what Floyd Cramer did on the Ivories.
いつまで経ってもオリジナル以上のものは現れない、、
この時代のジャスバンドはドライさというかまた、音の渇き方が違うな〜
結構すき･･･
ファーガソンもいいけどバックのトランペットも結構吹くなあ
BEST flute soloist I ever heard especially on the record version. AMAZING 👍♥️
これが本物なのね。
素晴らしい動画ありがとうございました
アルバムのバージョンよりテンポが速くてこっちのＬＩＶＥのほうも良い！ファーガソンさんの演奏も断然素晴らしい！
super !!!!!!!!

I saw him live in concert just about the time this was done. I even had a shirt like the ones his band members are wearing.
I hope it wasn't a red one
Excellent 👍la musique de Vladimir Cosma.
Les films de Belmondo nous manque.😢

what musical genre do you specifically mean? I'm trying to learn a little bit more about him ^^
@@modernmusicofthedarkages296 he basically created his own style
I sure enjoy hearing the music of Chuck Mangione as well.
is anyone gonna talk about that amazing flute solo?
I was just replying to a Facebook 70 group query post, "What's the best 70s flute solo?". I'm just here to grab the Link and insert it between all the Jethro Tull replies.
Bobby Militello, the one and only
Peter Erskine on drums and Gordon Johnson on bass. What a killer duo.
Happy "Star Trek Day 2020" to you all! Thank you for sharing this!
この編曲ちょーかっこいい！
なのに、なんで途中で終わるんだーー！！
フルートのソロも熱いが、その後のファーガソンのハイトーンが聴きたいのに！！
It would be cool if the entire footage of this recording was available... I would bet it's awesome

Love your posts..thanks for sharing!!
Thanks, UA-cam recommends. This came to me from out of nowhere....

Best line-up he ever had, especially with Mark Colby on tenor.
Peter Erskine - an absolute monster player! I've never heard him have a less than stellar night, day, whatever.
it's great !! thank you your posting.
Magnificent performance. The PHD of the horn.
bro at 1:04 that lick with the background instruments is literally the best
Truly, the greatest trumpet player in the world 🙌
Nunca
The note at the end of this on the "Conquistador" album Maynard is in the stratosphere!
Love his arrangements as well as his bari sax/flute playing.
Gotta love the Moog and Rhodes piano combo. The rhodes had an auto-wah sound effect that is groovy.
スタートレックよりウルトラクイズの印象が強いのは日本人の証
どんな音圧でふいてるんだ～
熱い！！！
I just can't stop watching this video! I love it!
貴重な映像です
The funky bit at the end is really cool!
ファーガソンの原点ありがとうございます。
ラッパ吹きの憧れハイノートヒッターの神様です。
おお、アメリカ横断ウルトラクイズのテーマ曲だ！
懐かしいー。
The incorporation of the jazz flute was big then. You had jethro Tull, Loggins/Messina, Chicago and others who were capturing alot of similar sounds but MF was a true artist. The loss of him to trumpet players and jazz was really huge. He is missed.
Reminds me of Star Trek Meets CHiPs!
Love that Trumpet Groove! :-D
i wish i could find a full length perfomance of this particualr song. I was blown away by this track ever since i was a little kid, and my folks bought the when it was first released, and they used to play it all the time.
Just a ridiculous band: Peter Erskine, Bobby Militello, Mark Colby, Dennis Noday, Gordon Johnson....Maynard's bands always had a wealth of riches
I would like to hear the rest of the music, so much :/
Thanks!
ニューヨークに行きたかったのに‼️
日テレ何で続けなかったんだよ‼️
高校生クイズなんて留さん最終回だったよ‼️‼️
I don't think I have the full version or a full version exists, but I'll check what I have.
This is absolutely sick. I love it!
dude this is awsome, i love the tone that maynard has
Dude that flute solo was the best part.
Wow that's awesome!
They should have started this earlier in the show, as they were just warming up.
And it had to be the highlite of the entire show. RIP Maynard !
@hondarideralex This was 1977 and that is Stan Mark on Lead trumpet, he was Maynard's lead player for a little less than 10 years.
ひたすらカッコいいですね〜☆
yeah, he had a flub or two, but no biggie...from this same show, i have seen a full version of MF and the band playing Rocky...Maynard is absolutely at the top of his game...best Rocky performance i ever heard him play
wish i was alive during this era
bet im the only 15 year old listening t this
bravooooo,thanks ,Maynard Ferguson for me the best
史上最大！！

omg im in love with those shades
@DarthClam The song was written by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and Alex Courage specifically for the show. Don't know if anybody was an original performer of it.
This should be the theme for the new Star Trek movie! Super groovy, man...I dig it, you groove, man?
格好いいなぁ❤しびれました❤
This is from 1977.
何度も聞いてるけど途中で終わっちゃうのが残念
日本ではスタートレックよりもウルトラクイズが有名
that drummer kicks ass
That is jazz drummer Peter Erskine! He played not only for Maynard, but other jazz fusion groups, such as Steely Dan and Weather Report.
Rhooo les trompettes derrière aussi ... le truc ici , hihihi , génial :)
Sacré Big Band , Mat Bissonnette à la basse ...
thank u.
They were getting paid, it was the '80s and times were tough. Maynard had a big family and he did what he had to do. Look at Satchmo with the Hello Dolly stuff. These guys have to roll with the punches. They're pro's.
I love his sunglasses... very vintage. =)
Keyboard Player, Biff Hannon I think his name was. I got to meet him back in the day :) at a rhythm section clinic. He was bad-ass...He had one of those Poly-moogs when they first came out ^-^
Freking great Funky sound,I love this track on orignal LP,& peter erskine man!
it's cool!
In Japan ,this music is known as Nippon Television's Quiz Tour Program called "Trans America Ultra Quiz" theme.
これも貴重な映像ですね！
Damn... They nailed it!
He was the king of trumpeters !!!
Awesome
着こなし含め立ち居振る舞いがカッコよすぎる最高のオッサン。
@DarthClam- This was originally written by Alexander Courage, and to the best of my knowledge, it was a band/orchestra that he put together.
日本のシティポップがこの曲にどれだけの影響をうけたことか。リアルなシティポップだと思う。
BAM!
The wird thing about this arrangement is its by Jay Chattaway who went on two write the music for Star Trek The Next Generation, although this is a few years earlier than the star trek movies he scored or the next generation.
this song in its entirety was on one of Maynard's records in the mid 70s. Maybe Conquistador, I'm not quite sure. But it's out there.
Yup. Bobby M on flute, Biff Hannon on keys, Gordy Johnson on bass(who was actually a flute major at Eastman) and, I think, Peter Erskine on Drums. Quite a band..prob ably '76 or '77.
They need to use this in credits for the next Star Trek movie.
Denis Diblasio is and always will be one of the finest musicians ever!
You should wish you grew up back then. Then you could have heard this kind of music live, all the time, except only here on UA-cam.
Wow. I had no idea what tasteless meant till I heard this!
DUDE. Mosello's beard and hair are the best part.
MORE COWBELL!!! :o)
What!?!?! you know what, I can't be mad at you because i was thinking the same thing (about liking that part). :-D
BEAM ME UP MAYNARD!! YEAH!!
MF always had the badass drummers.
Fullで聞きたいけど無いのかな
This had to be Will Farell's inspiration for Ron Burgundy and when he plays the Jazz flute. Looks just like him. Maynard is the man!
I wish they'd have let Bobby finish the flute solo. The band was also on Merv Griffin around that time and Bobby did get to finish the solo. The song is from "Conquistador" originally, then was released a second time on another album. As far as I could tell the only difference was that the fade out was extended to hear Maynard's final high note.
me gusta el sonido del teclado =O
genial
@schilke237 Thats why i came to the video, cause of maynard, =P he inspiredme to play trumpet
the song is called under the rim of the starlight
Luv star trek!
