Maynard played with, and helped the careers of, many jazz greats.  RIP MF.

Including Buffalo's own Bobby Militello. The musical world has lost a great one in Maynard Ferguson.

 

Requiescat in pace. :doh:

He performed at my high school in 1985. Buddy Rich did the same about a year earlier.

 

Now they're both gone. :doh:

 

RIP.

Holy crap!

A little LAMP...

 

I got to play with Maynard. I play sax...My favorite is the bari sax. I loved a song called Coconut Champagne.

Dennis Deblasio (who played with Maynard and knows him well) is a cousin of one of my best friends. I got to meet and play CC with Denny and Maynard. It was awesome, and I'll never forget it.

An amazing musician, and even though I sucked compared to him (I'm not great in the least), he said he enjoyed it, which just made me so happy.

 

RIP :w00t:
