Maynard Ferguson, Montreal 1982 

I always need to come back here to listen to this no matter what

0:33-Birdland 8:05- Hollywood 13:58-Take the "A" Train 19:50- Sesame Street 26:50- Portuguese Love 37:14- McCarthur Park 38:53- Chameleon 43:42- Maria

Maynard Ferguson was fantastic, a true legend in the world of Jazz, his music will never get old.

"Hollywood" is so tight that you cant hear anything out of place.

Let`s not forget Stan Mark. Incredible what he pulled off. Maynard could always attract superb musicians.

They played so much better here than they played at the Playboy Jazz Festival in L.A. just a few weeks earlier. It must have been early in the tour for the L.A. gig. Everybody sounds better here, really tight, like they're ready for the studio recording. They could have just taken the recording of the 1982 Montreal Jazz Festival gig, printed it and it would have sold well. Stan Mark on lead trumpet is at his best here, truly legendary.

First heard Maynard in 1973, I was just learning trumpet, I went home that night trying to figure out how to turn my horn into a lamp. Amazing, and a very down to earth "cool cat" .

Stan Mark's lead playing is superb...

My goodness, I wish I had this on record...soooooo good

I always get a kick when I come across a video from this era and see our friend, and daughter's private instructor, from more than 40 years ago! Gotta love seeing the young Nelson Hill and the current one is pretty great too!

Eu tinha essa apresentação gravada em VHS, gravei da televisão no final dos snos 90.

Ese fue. El mejor y unos de los mejores en el mundo de la trompeta .el. Canadiense Maynard Ferguson bendiciones para todos ustedes gracias. Saludos desde santo domingo república dominicana. Invivienda. Sto dmgo este

LOL! The opening tenor sax solo, just cracked me up! And I thought I used to play some wild solos, that "were out there!" That dude, was a wild man!

Wow, I never saw this concert it’s terrific - what a treat 👍

The bass player is Matt Bissonette who would later go on to play with the likes of David Lee Roth, Joe Satriani, Ringo Starr and many others. Nice solo at 4:10.

"Hollywood" sounds like it was from and episode of "CHiPs". One of only a few TV shows I enjoy. Saw Maynard many times and he was incredible and just a very cool guy!

Excellent spectacle! Un bon choix de pièces jazz variées et de très bons arrangements. Maynard Ferguson laisse beaucoup de place à son band et les solos des musiciens sont très originaux et créatifs.

Quite Simply..."The Boss"

That was on point. I've played birdland a thousand times and nobody can get the fuckn rhythm right, This group was tight as.

le boss tout simplement merci du partage

Thank you Mr BME If someone had a live version of his "Awright Awright" this will be a great time for all his fans

one the best I've ever heard from the boys

В наши годы нам этого не показали. Высший класс!!!

Thanks for posting - great concert! Amazing keyboardist: Ron Pedley - playing the intro to “Take A Train” (haha - Lawrence Welk’s name for it) beginning at 13:52. Maynard Ferguson, Montreal Jazz Festival 1982.

Nice! I sure never made a tenor or bari sax sound like that back when I used to play!

God bless the Maynard

Great Maynard!!

Excellent 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️

Wow, this is such a nice find. So much gold in this set that captures that time. Can I get the original audio?

He had his own thing for sure !

Simply INSANE.

The Greatest trumpist man! Magician!

O melhor trompetista de todos os tempos. Aqui no Brasil, sempre foi muito respeitado..

a great tune to solo on

Muito bom!

At 40:32 he says something to Stan Mark that just cracks him up.

That Sub Octave added some seriuos beef to the Bass Solo..🐄🎸

Maynard Very very good

audio is low. may as well deinterlace while your at it. :)

This before Stan Mark got fired for not being there for the downbeat of a gig. He told the story where no one woke him up on the bus for the gig. Maynard fired him and told him it was misplaced loyalty.

Great comping behind Matt Bissonette’s bass solo on Birdland. I guess that’s Ron Pedley.

Looks awesome, unfortunately I can't really hear it. The audio is quite low, sorry to say.

is thje audio low or it it me?

Really good alto solo at 29:15

Damn that's a whole lotta hair...

Who’s the drummer?

My guess is that Dave Mancini is the drummer

Bone player on A-Train? Nice!

the older he got the harder Mac park got for him

OK so it looks like a 10 to 12 years late to the party - where is part two?

smokin.

I can hear everyone, except the trumpets are a little too low in volume...

At 40:32, I wonder what Maynard said to Stan Mark to make him crack up.

Post Malone on drums!

patrick hession?

I was on that stage in 1978 and they bleached and fumicated it

Choppin woods basspl

39:04 Chameleon

dig the white pants

Ego,s.

Uh

With the exception of Stan Mark, I don't recognize any of these cats.

Maynard sure does a lot of circular breathing! It's OK on the clarinet, but on the tuba it mak's ma heid birl roond!

Pinching

Birdland, sax player do you know chord sequence?? rubbish

Maynard Ferguson Band: using high-level technical skills and poor taste to do a very impressive job of making good songs sound ugly.

ferguson is just show off it is not good trumpet playing

Maynard blasting on his Jettone MF V-Cup!
