Maynard Ferguson - Sesame Street free for downloading

I've loved Maynards albulms since I was in high school, but the part I love the best is that his first chair trumpet gets an octave higher sometimes, and he's IN TUNE! LOL

The tune's AABA, but the solos are 12-bar blues? Interesting.

With great memories I can say I was able to play this song with Dennis DiBlasio when he came to Orchard Park High in 1988. We played this song for over 15 minutes and we had every instrument in the school take a solo. What great memories for me.

Oscar got Grouchy  because he couldn't play an instrument and shrunk their tee shirts

I love that bari sax/flute guy with the billy mays style beard!!

R.I.P Maynard Ferguson: The most talented trumpet player I have ever seen.

Love, love, LOVE this hot arrangement.

my brother left this cd at my house when I was a freshman in highschool... never left my cd player. I would be lying in bed at night trying to sleep listening to this track and snapping my fingers wishing it was me on stage.

The drummer went in for his solo, quickly brought it back around and handed it off like it was the height of the Swing era. The smooth transition was really impressive and sounded great. Reply

I got to play with the man that composed this song (Dennis DiBlasio). Absolute genius. I'd have to say it was the privilege of a lifetime. Did you know Maynard had never even heard of Sesame Street before performing it the first time?

This should be played on the actual show...

love the shake at the start from stan

This swingin' cover was brought to you by the letters M and F, and by the number 100—as in 100% pure gold!

I was listening to another song by Maynard and I saw this on a list of video and I wanted to listen to this and my reaction was shocked and amazed.

Played this song my freshman year, very challenging but one of my favorites.

Take a simple song and turn it into something amazing..shows what you can do with jazz.
