Re: RIP Maynard Ferguson

You are right, JJ, as well did Maynard record 'Birdland' on 'The Essence of Maynard Ferguson' album.

To quote a few:

"He always made time for autographs, photos, etc. He would greet everyone with that big warm smile of his. He made those who met him feel like a friend for life."

"..best known for delivering stratospheric high notes, rock-concert-level volume, and sheer excitement in equal quantities."

For those of you who have access, there is the Maynard Ferguson Tribute Concert on September 20th at The Blanche M. Touhill Performing Arts Center located on the campus of the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
