Great man, great music. Who can forget one of my favourites, " Carnival" LP? Now he gets to play with some of the best there ever was. Blow on!!!
RIP Maynard.
Today a great musician, Maynard Ferguson, died at the age of 78 from liver and kidney failure. Maynard was a great trumpeter, known for his screaming in the upper registers. Being an amateur trumpeter, I was always in awe of his tremendous versatility. Thanks, Maynard, for leaving us with some good music.
