Maynard Ferguson Band "Fireshaker" 

Just unreal. ...we played fire shaker and coconut champagne in highschool. Such inspirational songs with the greatest energy. Thanks for sharing

Gone now, for over 17 years. For a demographic of HS band geeks in the mid 70's, he was a God. His energy and "athletic" presence as soloist/band leader was an inspiration for Ferguson Fanaddicts. He was the trumpet hero we needed, and raised our stock a bit amongst non-musians, especially after "Rocky." My son and I got to see him once, back in '05. On my Mt. Rushmore, of times spent with my boy💎

If there has been a trumpet player with more stage presence than Maynard, it has escaped my radar. He was more hip and dynamic than life, period.

Maynard is so gracious, positive and generous with this energy - dedicating a song to a native American is fantastic (and ahead of his time in many respsects). RIP Mr Ferguson

I've had Maynard Ferguson live in San Francisco for over 30 years and it never gets old. Gregg Bissonette is just so awesome. Huge inspiration for me personally.

This is the rarest Maynard performance of all time. And a really hard find

W O W ! Cannot believe this video exists. My father took me to this concert. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video of one of my childhood jazz heros. +1 Dennis Diblasio.

Oh boy. This trombone solo is gonna be hard to beat. Wow! On point. Love the lines

2020 & he's still the goat

The f*&king swagger....Pure Maynard!!!!

BASS AND DRUMS. BURNIN. M.F. GREAT beauty the way he could play. LOVE IT

drums Gregg bissonette bass guitar Matt bissonnette. Crystal Clear perfect

I LOVE Maynard! And that trombonist,Chris Braymen, sounds great on this.

I was fortunate to see this set live! My handy tape recorder was in hand...

I wish I was at this performance. This era to the early 90's MF was playing alot of original compositions of his and other players. Really good stuff.

Mr. Steve Wiest wrote The HELL out of this. What a tune!!!!

This is going to end up as one of the most viewed MF vidoes of all time. Great capture of a great MF era. You can tell The Boss really enjoyed Greg Bissonette's drumming....as well as Matt's bass.

Love this song, love the album it was recorded on. Awesome.

One of my favorite MF tunes

Unbelieveble Maynard!

They named the song after a guy... I'd like to meet him if he's as funky as this tune!

Matt Bissonette on Bass ‘

XLNT. thanks again for sharing this.

Oh how I miss The Boss!

Why would anyone dislike this video?

Try listening to some Allen Vizutti too. He is a Monster on the Trumpet and has written some really cool stuff......

Amazing

Maynard still looking fit and playing perfect. Rockin' out! What a treat!!!!

I was one of those dates...

Gregg Bissonette brought me here via Leland Sklar.
