I was a terrible trumpet player as a freshman in high school. I was 5th chair in the 3rd band. The band where all the rejects lived. Then I got my first Maynard tape. It was Conquistador. I started to try to mimic his vibrato because I couldn't mimic his range. The very next year I was 1st chair in the 2nd band playing solo parts with that vibrato. Junior year I had leapfrogged all the others again and was 2nd chair in the top band. All the while my tone and range improved. By my senior year I was 1st chair doing marching band and concert solos. Maynard was always in my walkman. I got to see him perform twice live.

Man, I wish I could have had a lesson with him back in his prime. He was such an amazing player and could have written books, just on the various experiences he had in his life. I'd do almost anything to be able to ask him questions.

thanks so much for posting these. Any teacher I've had has reference Maynards styles.

I've been a Maynard fan for 40 years. Always fascinated with his speaking style with all the ums and stammering. Never seemed to be comfortable talking. Sure could make his horn talk though.

Wonderful sage advice with great demonstrations. But the concept of 'lifting' the useable middle range is of course the way to go.

He had really good tone on stardust, a lot of people say he can’t make good tone, but that was pretty good

Provided you can just automatically transpose stuff in your head, wish I could do that, that challenge would be on par with the higher notes, lol.

Did he say get a date or call your dog when he was talking about the quad c?
