          Boy, I hate to say it, but this is disgusting. Maynard was such a monster of a player, but he really did not always take on the "tastiest" projects.

            AND it sounds very little like the rather majestic theme itself.....

                      Thanks for the video! Maynard's approach to trumpet needs its own category. Just as soon as someone says,"But he couldn't play like Alison Balsom or Hakan Hardenberger". Someone will be quick to say "He didn't have to, he's Maynard!".
                      Maynard could peel the hair off one's head. He was electric, exciting, and always thrilled a crowd. I've seen people weep at his rendition of Maria from West Side Story. In high school, we played everything from Give It One, and Teanova to Chameleon and Maria with me doing the Maynard part. I was one of his teenage disciples and considered him untouchable. Thousands even today find him untouchable including myself. During his time, he re-shaped the jazz trumpet landscape. There's only one Maynard and he owns his own lane. Maynard Ferguson! Two thumbs up!

                        For me, artistically, there's a point at which I quit listening to Maynard. He used to play longer phrases, musically more substantially, and after a while his output seemed to me to be on his and his band's energy and showmanship.

                        His soloing on Message from Newport e.g. showed off his formidable chops while retaining a lot of musicality. The proportions changed over time.

                        My list of his records that bring me the most pleasure are roughly from the late 50s to his M.F. series.

                          Pretty much the same for me. However with that said, I have never tired of John Faddis. He is probably the most relaxed high range performer I have heard. Arturo is close, but Faddis just plays up in the high range with such a sweat sound.

                            "Live at Jimmy's" belongs in the classic range in my opinion. "Chameleon" is where he started to lose it.
