Maynard Ferguson RIP

[the_drip]

Lead Trumpet Player Maynard Ferguson died on August 23rd. He was best known for his insanely huge range. the man pretty much invented the trumpet-squeel. http://www.maynardferguson.com/

His tone was pretty loud and obnoxious...us trumpet players refer to it as "laser-tone" as its so penetrating.

anyway he played mostly in a big band setting...but his music was entertaining...not very "groundbreaking" but a respectable musician at any rate.

I read about this. There was a quote from some promoter related to Maynard in some way. He said:

'Y'know, up in Heavan, someone just said: "Yo Gabriel, move over to second trumpet".'

The guy was talented, but this would imply that he was the greatest trumpeter to ever have existed. The answer to that is:

Well I feel sorry for his relatives, but I've always hated trumphets....

and <3 Maynard Keenan

he asked douchebag.

 

[worldwide_suicide]

he asked if you play the trumpet... you should've answered "yes" or "no"

he didn't ask "so you play the trumpet, how many instruments can you play?"


So.. no, he didn't ask douchebag
