Maynard Ferguson
In case you don't follow the jazz news, Maynard Ferguson passed away this week. He was 78 years old. I blogged about my first MF concert back in 2003. After that I attended two more Maynard concerts.
Besides his fabulous trumpet sounds, another of my favorite things about Maynard was that he filled his band with promising young musicians, with the mind to groom them for their own ongoing careers. He was truly a supporter of music education!

Good bye, Maynard!
