http://www.jazzvideoguy.tv presents Bret Primack's Portrait of Maynard Ferguson, including some rare performance video, and a 1998 interview, where Maynard talks about his admiration for Clark Terry and Clifford Brown, and remembers playing opposite Miles Davis at Birdland.

The second trumpeter in the Swingin' clip is Jerry Tyree.

I grew up believing that Maynard "couldn't swing," or was a sell out (his Rocky stuff pissed off people, I guess). But one day I saw "Maynard Ferguson's Jazz All-Stars at Lincoln Center. It featured him, The Marsalis brothers, Ron Carter---basically the jazz hall of fame. Let me tell you...Ferguson blew away Marsalis, and not by hitting high notes. He sounded like Miles, and other greats that did "swing." Marsalis was embarrassed and you could tell. Cool Jazz Festival, 1984, NYC. Go look it up.

I'm sorry, but playing loud high notes is simply not jazz.

i had the chance to meet and speak to maynard in the early 1980's, when i was still playing the trumpet as a teenager. what a wonderful person, and was the nicest guy you'd ever meet. i eventually switched to the drums in the late 80's, and never really went back to the trumpet, although i still pick it up now and again, and enjoy maynard and miles, but play along on the skins, as i can't keep up on the brass.

I am grateful for the music Maynard has produced throughout his career but I am not a fan of the high notes. I am a trumpet player but I find those high notes annoying. Only if done tasteful I can enjoy but not every freaking solo. Freddie Hubbard to me is the only trumpeter I can think of that he plays those high notes tasteful.
