It was nice to hear Allen call-out Maynard as a great example of relaxed breathing, but he does point out that many of "the trickle down" theories that Maynard's style spawned serve to complicate what should be a natural, relaxed process. I've always maintained that Maynard was probably the single largest positive AND negative influence on young trumpeters of the last 50 years. He inspired so many of us to pick up the horn to begin with. At the same time, he unintentionally set many on a path of a singular focus on high-notes, to the exclusion of becoming otherwise well rounded players.
