I just came from a Maynard Ferguson concert.
Maynard is one of the best, if not THE best trumpet players in the World.

He now tours with a band called Big Bop Nouveau. They are truly awsome. If ever they are in your area, take my advise, and check them out....you will be absolutly stunned by their amazing musical talent. Just spectacular.

I was lucky enough to sit in the second row, and thus the ability to truly appreciate this band was observed up front and personal.

So my suggestion is to check out Maynard Ferguson. If you like pure unabashed raw brassy jazz...he's been around for a long, long time, and he's still "Got It" !
