This tickled me, to no end! I subbed! This fellow can make notes, sing! I've never heard the talent and range of any horn player, as this guy, and NO MISTAKES, nothing out of place! No sour notes, either and Tripple tonguing, and those high notes...WOW ! MAYNARD FERGUSON !!!
Wow! Thanks for posting this. These old Maynard recordings are fantastic. He truly was a trailblazer on the trumpet. Look at all the incredible players today with exceptional range and flexibility and you can trace their roots back to what MF started.
Wow, what a rare recording! This made my year. Truly a genius of the trumpet and trombone. He was always very experimental. At the age of 22 listen to him play lead trumpet on All the things you are with the Charlie Barnet orchestra. Mesmerising. RIP Maynard x thanks for posting!
Wow, I agree. Saw MF about 4 times in high school and once in a bar, stayed for both shows. I’ve heard one Jerry Lewis film clip with MF doing a screaming lead over his dance routine. Great to see and hear MFs early career,
My Dad told me about hearing a young Maynard at the Deshler Hotel, Columbus with his best buddy when they were high-schoolers (they graduated in 1950). They COULD have been in that audience! being part of the "dixieland revival" they were pretty much mystified by what MF was doing, but were amazed nonetheless.
20 years old would put this in early 1948. There's a video on YT of Stan Kenton and MF on the Ed Sullivan Show Dec. 3, 1950, and MF had been with Kenton for 2 years.
Jimmy Dorsey also introduces Charlie Teagarden here; first I heard that Jack had a brother also so talented musically! In the photoplay here, we must remember that MF was a Canadian by birth. Explains the stylistic depictions of MF somewhat different than USA styles!

Talent bestowed from above... Maynard
This is so cool to hear such a vintage recording of Maynard! Probably the oldest one I've ever heard!
Amazing. I was born in '48. Sure do miss him.
the pix of Maynard as a young man with his trumpet is priceless
A very young Maynard taking it tithe stratosphere.
It doesn't get any better than that!
Incredible that he played like this at 20
a gem of a find! Nice work.
Amazing, almost crazy performance! And Jimmy Dorsey as good conductor
performance incroyable de Maynard si jeune ! 20 ans...!!!
Wow, that's an oldie, no kidding! 2nd performance, do all that then cap it off on a nice double E at the end.

Wow this is new.
Ahh Maynard
King of the upper register!!!
He was a prodigy of the highest level
A definite Harry James sound here, do I actually here some double-tonguing passages from Maynard?!!!!
