Maynard Ferguson, I miss you very much! How I tried for hours to sound like him on my trumpet. I still practice to this day because of him. The only trumpet player that can stand by himself in the world of jazz and playing the trumpet so amazingly! When I saw him in concert the first time in San Antonio , Texas - wow!!!! He played so effortlessly for two straight hours. I remember saying to myself “the first song would have wiped me out for two days.” How I miss going to the record store, as I did back in the day, to buy his next album or go to my mail box to receive his latest Cd from the fan club. I miss spending a day reading all the liner notes on the album or cd and then re reading them over and over as I heard his music. MF rules! Thank you for posting this video! - Dr. Z

Thanks for posting, the best recorded clinic of Maynard's I've seen. What a life the guy led!

A master class put on by the greatest trumpeter of all time. Excellent, doesn't get any better than that.

I’m not a trumpet player, but I really enjoyed his clinic.

I need Maynard videos to remind me why I once loved playing. Strangely enough, this would've been right around the time I was learning to play seriously. Thank you for this. I wish I'd seen it then.

My main takeaways:

I love his stories 😂❤

The Master!

The BOSS...

MF - this is so Awesome.
