wow man. that hits me right now. yeah he was the best if not among the best. This piece here is incredible. I was fortunate to see him a few times here in Maryland. One time was in my old community college and somehow, not sure how, I got front row center seats. OMG. yep. at the end of the horn pretty much. lol. 1990-ish ? He ws big then, size wise.
I interviewed him for ITG Journal & Instrumentalist Magazines. He was the one & ONLY! --Michael McClary, Professor of Trumpet -- 1975, 76-- BGSU, Bowling Green, OH
Holton Brass manufactured his trumpets and Mouthpiece. All Holton needed to sell MILLIONS was have Maynard in-concert, on the "Today" Show, and doing his famous Festivals! Michael McClary, Professor of Trumpet, 1978-2015.
Wayne went on to be a first call trumpet player is Los Angeles. You will see him in the trumpet section playing the lead book at the Acadamy Awards and the like. Also has played with Gordon Goodwin and is a traveling solo artist.
That guy was phenemonal. Saw him with High Voltage in 1987, and he did a similar thing at the beginning of Shufflemonk. The guy played a solo that covered like 10 different styles...and of course ended with Jump. :) Great concert--got to shake hands with Maynard when he did his walking through the crowd bit, and he played the Firebird on Jack Usage. The one tune I've not been able to find ANYWHERE is his High Voltage version of Gonna Fly Now. Would love to hear that again.
This was Maynard's High Voltage 2 album's lineup, plus an added horn section of his alumni that were added for this TV show: Trumpet Section: Don Hahn, Wayne Bergeron (lead) Trombone: Steve Weist Saxes: Tim Ries, Matt Wallace Keyboards: John Toomey Guitar: Tom "Boomer" Bevan Bass: Michael Lufkin Drums: David Tull Aux. Perc.: Billy Hulting
I love how Maynard just walks over and shakes the piano player's hand right at 24:36 right in the middle of his playing. Um, yeah, I'm kind of using both of my hands at the moment, can you wait a se..... oh, you're frikking Maynard Ferguson, I can do that! shake shake
I graduated high school with the pianist, John Toomey. Back in the day, Goshen NY....in Jr. H.S. he could blast the keyboards...and just got better/ He toured with Ferguson throughout the 1980's.....
I ADORE ALL BIG BAND BRASS, THEREFORE FERGUSON IS SUPREME.... SUPERB... COMPLETELY STEPS AHEAD OF ALL TIME.... OHHHH MANNN HOW MUCH WE JAZZ LOVERS MISS .... BUT LEFT A GIANT HERITAGE FOR THE MUSIC OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yamaha came out with an Electric Grand piano for Maynard's Band. But before that, Steinway piano & Bosendorfer (Berlin) competed for the Right to have there pianos on-stage with Maynard's Band!
Алексей Зинкевич I hear it. There's no way they could play that far off without getting lost. The chaos was in sync. Maybe it's VHS/cassette tape deterioration.
After Blue Birdland, the songs are Last Dive and Body and Soul, as announced by Maynard after Last Dive (and Body and Soul announced again after its conclusion).
Can't stand how Tull plays Jack Usage. Sounds like he constantly blows the feel. I thought when i saw him play with Steve Huffstetter Big Band, he wasn't very good. Guess i was right.
Call me a stupid young-un, but I vastly prefer Wayne's playing to Maynard's, even when he was this young. Maynard feels out of control to me, and his tone below c4 is lackluster.
Mayard grew to be a better musician after his Columbia years. I think Wayne is a great lead trumpeter but Maynard to my ears seemed to have something more than being able to screech. I loved the live at Jimmy's c.d.
I would agree that across the range of the horn Wayne probably has a more consistent sound than the Boss. However, considering I can't even play on the mouthpieces Maynard used, the fact that he can play down to the bottom of the horn at all astonishes me. And while there were eras when he relied too much on the wiggly lip trills effect like at moments in this concert, his improvisations were nearly always good, and his melodic and technical playing was always amazing. He always sounded melodic even in the extreme upper register. And while one of the comments mentioned screech playing, I differentiate that term with Maynard. Screech to me is someone just barely getting the notes out without a lot of tonal color. While it maybe isn't any more complimentary, I prefer scream playing. Solid, huge sound with a tonal center that isn't thin or tinny. And many of the videos I've seen his band may be using music but he's playing his solo parts including some amazingly complicated heads always by memory. I can't fathom how many charts he committed to memory over his illustrious career. That all by itself is amazing to me, and when combined with his playing skills and multi-instrumental capabilities, makes him very unique.
@@stevenhogenson4880 I think when you use the term"screech trumpeter people would automatically think of Cat Anderson. Maynard for the most part had his own banc after he left Kenton and was part of the Birdland sound. I think I read somewhere that he did studio work also but missed the road too much. Some of my favorite parts of a Maynard concert were he would play a ballad. That said there is nothing like a great banc swinging like crazy. I always remember the Count Basie aphorism "I love music where halfway through you can tap your foot to it." "
Maynard knew how to entertain and put on a great show. Wayne is a great trumpet player, but he's no front man. Just look a videos of gigs where he's a special guest - like the Disney college band. Fucking snooze fest. Oh, you're stupid. And young.
Couldn't ask for better jazz. Simply brilliant!
I remember the day that Maynard died. Fell to my knees & "cried"! An era ended that day! M. McClary
I bawled like a baby when I got the news for a 1/2 hour straight.

John Toomey, Christian Jacob, Joe Zawinul, Pete Jackson, Mike Abene, Jaki Byard: Maynard had quite the array of pianists!
I saw Maynard Ferguson live in 1987 in Maryland. Great show. Was in High School at the time,
One of his shows at Glenelg?
@@Redneck_Ed yes sir

Maynard recruited from North Texas Jazz Program constantly. Wayne Bergeron, trumpet, was one of the best that got his start because of Maynard!
Probably North Texas State University's Jazz Education program
Wayne went on to be a first call trumpet player is Los Angeles. You will see him in the trumpet section playing the lead book at the Acadamy Awards and the like. Also has played with Gordon Goodwin and is a traveling solo artist.
@@davetrayford that's literally what he said, chimptits
I graduated high school with the pianist, John Toomey. He blew away the music teachers....back in the day....

@@jaredbrame5639never knew Maynard did a High Voltage version of Gonna Fly Now.
This was Maynard's High Voltage 2 album's lineup, plus an added horn section of his alumni that were added for this TV show:
Trumpet Section: Don Hahn, Wayne Bergeron (lead)
Trombone: Steve Weist
Saxes: Tim Ries, Matt Wallace
Keyboards: John Toomey
Guitar: Tom "Boomer" Bevan
Bass: Michael Lufkin
Drums: David Tull
Aux. Perc.: Billy Hulting
Wow! Did not know David Tull was ever with Maynard. He was with Mangione 2005 or so.
Interesting his use of the second valve only on the High A natural at 2:18
(concert pitch G above High C)
Just great music I love Maynard

The one and only... RIP
Wayne Bergeron on lead; Tim Ries, Billy Hulting, Steve Weist, John Toomey, Don Hahn, soloists-all star band!
I don't remember Don Hahn being in the band.
@@boardmanfan Multiple stints on the band. He’s here with Wayne Bergeron.

The alto-sax player with the short hair is Tim Ries. He went on to play with the Rolling Stones.
Меунард, это легенда у которого, до сих пор, учатся многие музыканты.
the first time i saw MAYNARD was in 1960 at SUNNYBROOK in Pottstown PA.
1989 - 2017.
30 years ago!
The Boss Maynard Ferguson and Band - Berlin - ZDF TV
NICE!!!!! Best of Best!!!
Thank you for posting this concert !!!
Wayne looks so young Omg
He WAS
Excellent 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
still love it!!
Yamaha came out with an Electric Grand piano for Maynard's Band. But before that, Steinway piano & Bosendorfer (Berlin) competed for the Right to have there pianos on-stage with Maynard's Band!
probably "their" pianos
At 22:57 - Jump - Van Halen intro! My Goodness! I did not know it was one of Mynard's composition. He was a genius for sure.
It is not a composition of Maynard, jump is from 1984
That freaked me out too because you had to figure this pre-dated Van Halen, but it did not.
Great !!!
nice
Can you put the line up and pacing please! Thanks
Whats wrong with this video on Jack Usage? I love that song so much and here such a nuisance...
Алексей Зинкевич I hear it. There's no way they could play that far off without getting lost. The chaos was in sync. Maybe it's VHS/cassette tape deterioration.
Do I spy a sudo mullet on Wayne Bergeron back there ???
Is that wayne in the back?
Yes
will pharell is on the electric guitar
What's the instrument called at the middle of minute 54 that the percussionist is using?
I guess that this silver drum is a "cuica" ..
That's it
(Tenor) is that a Dukoff?
what was the second song
After Blue Birdland, the songs are Last Dive and Body and Soul, as announced by Maynard after Last Dive (and Body and Soul announced again after its conclusion).
Great
Seems like Tull constantly fkn with the feel displacing beats that do not work.
25:56 26:18
Fue un trompetista muy destacado y 'pirotécnico' pero para mi no fue un gran solista de jazz.
No has escuchado sus antiguas grabaciones? Nadie como el, compañero.
Maynard fue genial, pero sus mejores años fue en la década de los 60s.
Can't stand how Tull plays Jack Usage. Sounds like he constantly blows the feel. I thought when i saw him play with Steve Huffstetter Big Band, he wasn't very good. Guess i was right.

Find The Maynard Ferguson Orchestra 1962 on CZcams. listen and learn and you will see how stupid this comparison is.
The skips in this video turn some of the fusion stuff into a real avant garde adventure. lol
Just great music I love Maynard
