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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
wow!!! can I say more? This is just groovy! I'd love to see some of the drum and bugle corps play some of this on the field, especially with the powerful brass sections!
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.
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.

Check out the horn section at around 1:34 - 1:42 hunkering down into that high E flat then converting into the high F! Simply the best horn section he's ever had!
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.
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 ^-^
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.
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
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・・・
いつまで経ってもオリジナル以上のものは現れない、、
NYに行きたいか!!! って言われると反応する日本人 多し
BEST flute soloist I ever heard especially on the record version. AMAZING 👍♥️
super !!!!!!!!
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!
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

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.
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
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
Peter Erskine on drums and Gordon Johnson on bass. What a killer duo.
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.

どんな音圧でふいてるんだ~
熱い!!!
Best line-up he ever had, especially with Mark Colby on tenor.
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!!
貴重な映像です
Peter Erskine - an absolute monster player! I've never heard him have a less than stellar night, day, whatever.
Love his arrangements as well as his bari sax/flute playing.
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!
Gotta love the Moog and Rhodes piano combo. The rhodes had an auto-wah sound effect that is groovy.
bro at 1:04 that lick with the background instruments is literally the best
Happy "Star Trek Day 2020" to you all! Thank you for sharing this!
The note at the end of this on the "Conquistador" album Maynard is in the stratosphere!
Truly, the greatest trumpet player in the world 🙌
Nunca
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。

Reminds me of Star Trek Meets CHiPs!
Love that Trumpet Groove! :-D
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。
格好いいなぁ❤しびれました❤
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.
I just can't stop watching this video! I love it!
The funky bit at the end is really cool!
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。
Thanks, UA-cam recommends. This came to me from out of nowhere....
bravooooo,thanks ,Maynard Ferguson for me the best
It would be cool if the entire footage of this recording was available... I would bet it's awesome
He was the king of trumpeters !!!
何度も聞いてるけど途中で終わっちゃうのが残念
wow!!! can I say more? This is just groovy! I'd love to see some of the drum and bugle corps play some of this on the field, especially with the powerful brass sections!

I don't think I have the full version or a full version exists, but I'll check what I have.
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。
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.
Thanks!
omg im in love with those shades
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
Wow that's awesome!
たまらんなこの音
最高!
This is absolutely sick. I love it!
Damn... They nailed it!
Freking great Funky sound,I love this track on orignal LP,& peter erskine man!
@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.
dude this is awsome, i love the tone that maynard has
Dude that flute solo was the best part.
I love his sunglasses... very vintage. =)
BAM!
wish i was alive during this era
bet im the only 15 year old listening t this
I would like to hear the rest of the music, so much :/
BEAM ME UP MAYNARD!! YEAH!!
ひたすらカッコいいですね〜☆
日本ではスタートレックよりもウルトラクイズが有名
it's great !! thank you your posting.
Awesome
thank u.
Luv star trek!
Love your posts..thanks for sharing!!
Maynard!
Denis Diblasio is and always will be one of the finest musicians ever!
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
これも貴重な映像ですね!
@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.
me gusta el sonido del teclado =O
genial
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.
@DarthClam- This was originally written by Alexander Courage, and to the best of my knowledge, it was a band/orchestra that he put together.
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.
御大とフルートの人の豪快な見た目、あとバックの人も見た目が強烈、全員でそんままイタリア系マフィア構成できるぐらい迫力あって、すげーとっぽくて最高どす
Bobby Militello!!!!! Genius!!!!
Check out the horn section at around 1:34 - 1:42 hunkering down into that high E flat then converting into the high F! Simply the best horn section he's ever had!
for many people around the world
音がレトロな感じで良い!
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 !
the song is called under the rim of the starlight
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.
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!
DUDE. Mosello's beard and hair are the best part.
Can't get away from the 70s!
史上最大!!
第○○回!
アメリカ横断ウルトラクイズ!
勝てば天国、負ければ地獄!
地力、体力、時の運。
早く来い来い、木曜日!
かっこいい・・・
This should be the theme for the new Star Trek movie! Super groovy, man...I dig it, you groove, man?
この人たちがMr.インクレディブルの曲吹いたら原音よりかっこよくなりそう
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 ^-^
Golden sax
This is from 1977.
I love to transcribe music
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‼️
