| i know that Maynard and Bud Brisbois have recorded this piece with New York Phil, and Boston Symph. orch (?) respectively (question on who brisbois recorded with)....but does anyone know if anyone else has attempted this since then? I would be very interested to know if anyone COULD play this today (or if anyone would want to listen to it....). |

| I'm sure there are a number of players that could "handle" Titans today. MF's performance was by far the better of the two mentioned. Brisbois had the range, but not the power or fullness of sound in the extreme register. A player that comes to mind as someone that could handle it is Scott Englebright, Maynard's former lead player. His range is dependable well into the triple register. He's accurate, and doesn't thin-out around double C like a lot of players do. He played an amazing renditionof Shorty Rogers' "Maynard Ferguson" while @UNT. Very capable. |

hey MF fan, yeah, i totally agree with you on Maynard's performance being much better than Bud's, but you gotta admire Bud for even trying....and i think he was only like 19 years old at the time. I would be very interested to hear Scott E. play this piece, as well as guys like George Graham (maybe?) and Wayne Bergeron. I think Faddis could handle it for sure, and Arturo has the range, but i don't really like his sound above double C, (yeah, i know that's very picky, but hey...... ) so i don't think he would be someone I would pick to play it. I would definitely like to see someone give it a try though!!!! |

I'm not familiar with this piece. Is there somewhere I can find a recording?

| i'm not sure where you can find a recording of it, but it is basically a movement from a suite written in the '50's for "high-note" trumpet. I can't remember right offhand who wrote it, but someone on here will, i'm sure. Check ebay for recordings....i think I saw some up there a while back. It's definitely worth hearing, at least the Maynard version. Even though it's very high, it's the closest I've heard of Maynard playing "classical" music. I think it's pretty cool! |
