Maynard Ferguson at Playboy Jazz Festival -- "Portuguese Love" 

5:22 to 5:36 make me want to throw up in my mouth. No one had control like Maynard Ferguson. I always show people this clip and watch their eyes fall out of their heads. My dad showed this to me on VHS when I was 3. I never forgot it and Maynard and my dad were the inspirations for playing trumpet and Maynard's music has always been so beautiful and powerful to me. I was so lucky to drive around and play with him before he died.

Wow! That sax players solo was wowwwwwzers man! Never saw Maynard love a solo more!

Dios santo, que nivel de músicos y Banda

Nelson Hill's sax solo was friggen hilarious!

What a beautiful tune, and so well played...you have to admire MF, he seemed utterly unafraid to reach for any note.

Thanks for putting this our way, Best Wishes, Dave (and Natalie)

that solo was damn near perfect!

MAYNARD -- PHENOMENAL !

As arranged by Steve Wiest!

Nelson Hill on Sax

WOW!!!!

I still say, that crazy coked out drummer, Steve Wiest, Stan Mark, Dennis DiBlasio,...Greatness! My favorite Maynard band. Too great!

Fucking amazing …😊 No other words can convey that

Strictly Nuclear!

this is an incredible live performance of this tune...this is a classic case of the live version of "Portuguese Love" being infinitely better than the very weak studio version on the "Hollywood" album...that entire album is just plain bad...the sound on that album has a phony, "canned" sound.

I wasn’t familiar with that tune. Also had Chris Braymen on trombone.

Maynard is better than Kodak black
