I grew up listening to Maynard Ferguson. His version of MacArthur Park and Eli‘s Coming were two of many songs that stick in my mind. I got to see him very late in his life as he appeared at a nearby high school noted for its jazz bands. Two years later he was gone. What a set of chops the man had! Nobody could ever hit those triple C’s like Maynard!
I may have been on that. Where was it?
@Secretguy Mills High School in Millbrae. They had an excellent jazz program there.
