I would like to see you play that same solo at Maynards age and health...this was mere months before he passed away. I had the honor of seeing him 6 months before he died, and he still put one one of the best shows I have ever experienced. Still inspiring our young musicians to play!! Pathetic? You are so wrong my friend....Maynard was never pathetic. He was, simply, Maynard Ferguson.
I've heard that people close to him said his health was good. I've read quotes like "He'd lost weight, he had given up some 'habits that were bad for him' and was doing well." I had heard of a nagging problem that caused chronic pain in his hand and maybe some stomach trouble, but supposedly he was feeling pretty good for a guy 76 or so years old.
yeah man, i remember it well, i was in middle school. our teacher was practically gonna cry. we spent the whole period watching his stuff on the internet
Bro, I took a free lesson with Donny Dyess last saturday. He's my lesson teacher now. He's a great all-around player, and can really scream! He's helping me with college auditions.
1. dont let the sun go down on me 2. Pagliacci 3. gonna fly now 4. the fly 5.chameleon 6. hey jude .. there used to be a little something from give it one..
monette mouthpiece are the best on the market now....have u even ever played on a monette? ive played on a trumpet, trombone, and tuba monette mouthpiece and its the best mouthpiece ive ever played on.
Lovely to see the boss I saw him in London around this time brilliant and also he loved it when his guys went mental around him Patrick well what can I say brill talking to you and the boss in London changing rooms downstairs right by the toilets class!
@rduffy338 The song that follows "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me' is "PAGLIACCI" (As in "Vesta L Guibba" from I PAGLIACCI! As in NO MORE RICE CRISPIES! I HAVE NO MORE RICE KRISPIES! -- The company actually used the song in the 70's to have a man lament the end of a box of RICE KRISPIES by singing this sing "NO MORE RICE CRISPIES! I HAVE NO MORE RICE KRISPIES!")
Agreed, he did over use them...but the fact he COULD do them is showing control. He could probably keep a steady tone easily...just he wanted to shake cause he knew his time was coming fast.
@flamingdingleberry that's patrick hession for yuh. hahaha he has a bright sound. if you listen to the tribute band with him, bergeron, and Miyashiro you can hear the difference between their town qualities. He definitely has brighter sound.
Thanks for posting...something is wrong/strange about the sound recording/regenration. Sounds like some weird reverb or effect...takes away from the original sound recording. Does anyone have the original?
@flamingdingleberry Lit not your Flaming Dingle Berry bag of twigs and berries burn over this! It's not so much an issue of the playing as the microphone on the camera that makes it so "brassy" and irritating. It wouldn't have sounded like tht in concert to the ear. (I'd know, having been to more than a few hundred concerts , including dozens of Maynard's, and played with his band a few times. Not playing sycophant, but this is a tech issue.
I agree. Hession was a bad choice. I respect the decision to bring him in. And I respect him as a player but if it were me, iiiii would hire him again after don't let the sun go down on me
Maynard sounded like he was dieing he used the lip trill way to much, and patrick does have a really bright tone, so did maynard, maybe because of their horns
Lip trill, shake same diff, the thing is he used it to much and it doens't sound clean and Reggie watkins is very good, lol I somewhat think he should of played even less or should of practiced more lol for real tho, he was very old here but he is still a musician and has a band and obligations but then again he is the boss lol
Yeah, Pat must be total crap .... that's why he played lead for Maynard for what, 6 years? Lol, the man isn't the definition of bad. Of course he can scream but his site has him playing some classical stuff, he sounds pretty solid on it.
@staflo10 all im sayin is maynard made a bad decision by picking hession because hession is so full of himself.. so much to where he ruins the music my opinion
are you kidding? monette mouthpieces are a piece of crap compared to a marcinkiewicz. I've played both....and believe me, monette's wear your chops out fast. its a lot easier to blow through a marcinkiewicz. A marcinkiewicz horn distances itself even further in comparison to a monette....unless your Wynton....I'd rather play an Olds studio trumpet from the 1940's than a monette. WAY more character in the sound. Sadly i can afford neither.
That Patrick Hession has got to be the worst lead tpt player Maynard ever had. Bad sound, doesn't play in tune with himself (or the band), but the most glariing weakness is when he plays a solo, his interpretation is terrible, he cuts phrases short, plays more or less like a robot. Wow, I thought you had to be a musician to play in Maynard's band, but apparently not. Stan Mark referred Hession into the band. Apparently, this was Stan's revenge on Maynard for firing him. More "misplaced loyalty."
Maynard will be deeply missed. I remember finding out the morning he died and I went into a MAYNARD MARATHON.. Maynard... I love you man!!!

yup he can scream (lead)...Maynard I met several times. I will miss him a great deal. thanks guys.
Im glad i met maynard before he died he signed my trumpet case and hassion did aswell along sith arturo sandoval

holy shit, maynard was 77 years old there...
PATRICK YOURE A MONSTER!!!!!!!Absolutely Sensational!
Patrick Hession is killing it here! OMG crazy good!!!!
yeah man, i remember it well, i was in middle school. our teacher was practically gonna cry. we spent the whole period watching his stuff on the internet

I once saw him play in Sinyon Tx.1976.
Lovely to see the boss I saw him in London around this time brilliant and also he loved it when his guys went mental around him Patrick well what can I say brill talking to you and the boss in London changing rooms downstairs right by the toilets class!
He is completely awesome.
I saw one of his last concerts :) I also have his autograph...well my bro does
@rduffy338 The song that follows "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me' is "PAGLIACCI" (As in "Vesta L Guibba" from I PAGLIACCI! As in NO MORE RICE CRISPIES!

What's the second tune played (after don't let the sun go down)???
This really is a great vid.. And all great musicians..really good :)))
@flamingdingleberry PAtrick Hession plays Monette horns.
I think its the monettes they are using, they usually sound bright, I prefer a dark tone lol, it wasn't bad its just the minor things like that
that was the problem as maynard got older, almost everything he played was shaken
i wonder if he could play a steady tone...
Wrong!!!!!!! The only time I didn't play lead is when I was playing a Maynard part. Thanks for playing... Next!!!!!!!
its called half step bends
@nightblader7 Shaking isn't much of a vibrato, but more of a lip trill of some sort...
Thanks for posting...something is wrong/strange about the sound recording/regenration. Sounds like some weird reverb or effect...takes away from the original sound recording. Does anyone have the original?
im kinda new to jazz and ive been trying to figure out who the lead trumpet in there is
the little short dude
patrick hession
@wasabiman17 pretty much.

@wasabiman17 : The Fly ;D then the chameleon ;D

@flamingdingleberry Hession sound like someone choking a cat !!!
What's the song at 5:14
@flamingdingleberry Lit not your Flaming Dingle Berry bag of twigs and berries burn over this! It's not so much an issue of the playing as the microphone on the camera that makes it so "brassy" and irritating. It wouldn't have sounded like tht in concert to the ear. (I'd know, having been to more than a few hundred concerts , including dozens of Maynard's, and played with his band a few times. Not playing sycophant, but this is a tech issue.
I must concur, Mr. Pierson. Not exactly Chuck Findley or Snooky Young.
I agree. Hession was a bad choice. I respect the decision to bring him in. And I respect him as a player but if it were me, iiiii would hire him again after don't let the sun go down on me
Trombone solo was kinda weak. Loved it when played by Randy Purcell
Maynard sounded like he was dieing he used the lip trill way to much, and patrick does have a really bright tone, so did maynard, maybe because of their horns
If you don't like jazz then why the hell are you posting?
that has got to be a monett trumpet.. the sound is... different.. not something i really like
Maynard vibrato is strange..
yea Pat H, is just a joke
have to agree i dont like the sound of it either
Lip trill, shake same diff, the thing is he used it to much and it doens't sound clean and Reggie watkins is very good, lol I somewhat think he should of played even less or should of practiced more lol for real tho, he was very old here but he is still a musician and has a band and obligations but then again he is the boss lol
Pagliacci

Having met both and having sat next to Mark at a Holton sponsored MF gig at a NAAM show, all I can say is Stan Mark was fuckin' nuts.
Completely agree with your assessment of Hession. No musicality in his playing. A novelty act, no more.
