Last Thursday, the leading article in the “Entertainment” section of many national papers was regarding the upcoming Emmy Awards. I find it profoundly sad that Ferguson’s death got a small little blip, an R.I.P. media pity-pimple.
For all he gave to the Jazz genre you would think someone would have placed a bit more importance on his passing.
I heard a few people mention this and decided to at least post a pic of the trumpeter that could play notes that only dogs could hear.
The dogs are all sleeping tonight.
Here’s to your last high note, Maynard…

Michael–I wondered about this, too. I saw Maynard Ferguson at the Newport Jazz Festival, many years back. Thank you for remembering him.
As a trumpet player myself – it’s always sad when another tune fades away….nice thoughts Michael.
