The 11 thumbs down were probably people that were physically injured by those horns. I saw these guys in 1993 and I've never seen such a powerful horn section before or since.
Freshman year in high school, 95. The sheet music for the bass was mostly empty, just chords, so you know, just feel it. I was only 14, so I just listened to this recording and meticulously transposed it all 😛
Sonicfan640 i had great teachers man they started us early with big band back when i was in the 5th grade we even went to Tennessee Gatlinburg for a music festival and one first place
Does it seem that the tempo is going alittle fast at times in the sax soli? I could be wrong, but that's the only thing that bothers me. Other than that, really great song!
They're almost pushing it; they're staying right on the front edge of the beat, so they might seem a hair fast. At least, that's how it seems to me, anyways. Great song regardless, though.
Because it was a challenge and the song excited them, and they're playing off each other! It's always that way with a superlative and fun piece like this!
I like watching the altos suffer in the soli section as I just chug along with my quarter notes...
You and me both bud ;)
One alto one soprano:)
Altos?
Fellow bari player I assume?
Two of my teachers played in Maynard's band before he died. Probably some of the best players I've seen so far.

Thankfully though, it's been nine months and only one more dislike
JG Kerr one more since then
Preach
Saw them in 98, blew my fucking brains out
4:21 just that one note made my day
dab
Chord ahem
alon averbuch I love that note too
Me too, we're playing this song in my jazz band at school and every time the saxes play that note my friend and I look at each other and say "bup!"
@@ringocrafter03i just tried this and it made me chuckle
Played this freshman year in HS in '91. I played bass bone. It was probably the hardest chart I'd seen in my young 14 years :-)
I played this senior year of HS in 2015. Same as you, the hardest drum chart I’d ever played 🤣

My college jazz band opened for him in the 90s and we played this. What a wonderful musician and ambassador for the art.
Where was that?

My high school jazz band covered this, and did it well. both of the college bands I played in couldn’t play it.
Takes me back to my jazz ensemble days in high school and college. ❤
that sax soli:)
Tempo fluctuation is a part of being human. Missing the forest for the trees.
gooyreg Playing this in my hs band right now. Biggest issue is tempo fluctuations but we’ll get it!
Sax player's delight! I guess even Maynard had to give the saxes credit. Sax On!
the ending is so badass. especially at 7:13
ending is badass... especially at 7:13, there is only 1 ending

Does anyone know where and/or when this particular recording was made?
+kellymurphystl All I know is that it is off of the Footpath Cafe album
Hanita Jazz Club in Heist-op-den-Berg, Belgium in the early 90's.
Y’all there was a really good version of this on Spotify and it was just taken off. Can anyone help me find it? It’s nowhere on the internet.
YES please! I was so disappointed cause I can still see it but it won't play, I felt tricked
It got taken down for copyright jt reasons. I noticed as well and was sad
sounds similar to a Gordon Goodwin piece
particularly like count bubba's revenge
Clorox Bleach except better
Georgous....
Dow anyone know where I could get music for the sax soli?
My Aunt Grace turned me on to Maynard Ferguson
5:47

Sonicfan640 i had great teachers man they started us early with big band back when i was in the 5th grade we even went to Tennessee Gatlinburg for a music festival and one first place

I didn't really hear it until you mentioned it, but now I really do. But as gooyreg said, tempo fluctuation is part of being human.

5:21 for me
