The Best that I've had the pleasure of seeing...and hearing, and cheering, and just plain listening with my mouth agape. I cried on August 23rd, 2006. RIP BOSS.
Wonderful lead 🎺 performance by my friend Paul Stephens..who I recommended to the late great Dan Miller in early 1994..when Dan was leaving the MF band. This is a joyful performance 👏..Vaughn.. 🎺
How can you not love Maynard? As Arturo said at the MF tribute in St. Louis..."My Hero"...And it's not just about his playing, which speaks for itself...
He's right of course - us Lead Trumpet Players rule - we are certainly the "icing on the cake"! And MF was our mentor, inspiration, true Hero, and King of us all, and proved it everytime he picked up a Horn. What a worthy role-model he is, in every way! I started playing Trumpet in the 70's because of him (as did many others), and tried my best to emulate him. My degree of success brought me many of my proudest and happiest moments in my life as I played his parts in my college JazzBand. They

Still missing Maynard so much.

Seeing MF perform during this era makes me smile. Around my high school years. I miss him live. Thankfully youtube is there to preserve some of it.
Can't believe he's gone and we'll never see him again.

This is one of my favorite bands that Maynard had assembled in recent years. These guys really swung and played really musically.
Maynard Rules !
Man, Boss was on fire that night.
