All the trumpet players I knew in school worshipped MF above all others.

I feel like crap for saying this right now... but I always thought he was overrated. :(

That's not to say that he wasn't very good.

Heh. Count me as a bit in that group too. I'd rather listen to Dizzy Gillespie. Maynard had crazy talent though. Not always the best taste, but crazy talent.

the thing with maynard was, he could take all the crazy licks that dizzy spit out, and take them up an octave. or two. ridiculous.

St. Maynard the trumpeter.

Pope Benedict needs to make this happen.
