It would be nice if some of us could donate some unique pictures, or other memorabilia (if some have duplicates of certain things they could stand to part with
or perhaps loan for a period of time), to add to this legacy. Perhaps a section of items from the "fans" could also be displayed for the viewing
enjoyment of those visiting this future shrine.

Maybe if a walkway needs be constructed or an entrance-way, bricks could be purchased by donors with their names inscribed?

Just got caught up on this thread - what terrific news! It's a perfect home for the collection, and I'm so glad to see such a dedicated alum be part of
the whole process. What an amazing treat too, for the musicians there to have such an incredible legacy of music to perform.

I feel like a little kid...this is going to be so cool. The article below is from this weekend, and about the arrival of the collection to North Texas.

Nice article, but in the second pic, Steve Wiest is pointing to a so-called "screamer note" in the arrangement of the "Theme to Anthony and
Cleopatra," and it's just a B below high C. Check out the staves above Steve's index finger for some real screamers.

Not to take away from 18MaynardStreet's kind words and description of Steve Weist pointing to the B below high C, but the notation just to the left of the
B says 8VA!!! I think that is an official screamer note!!!

"A Screamer Note INDEED!!! .... and held as if circular breathing was used up there!
That chart is certainly one of my all time favorites of the Maynard Show Case charts ..... if not, THE most. Absolutely a portrait of Maynards playing. May He Rest In Peace. Jimmy. |

Hahaha! You're a good guy, 18, but your eyesight is failing. As
someone pointed out, there's an 8va notation just to the left of his finger. I always defer to pros to point out those things, just in case I'm wrong.

Cats!
Well, a kid in a candy store indeed! Imagine my joy to be able to page through such history.  I am currently cataloging everything and am totally blown
away by the history. To think that all of this was written with one man in mind!? Kind of puts things into perspective.
Jimmy: What recording has "Anthony and Cleopatra" on it? I am putting together Mp3s of everything to help with indexing (and just for the sheer fun of doing so!  ).
Part of what I am choosing currently is the line up for our big MF tribute concert which will hopefully be held in October or early November. We will be showcasing stuff from the Birdland Dream Band era. Woo Hoo! More info as things get set. |

Hi Steve,
Anthony and Cleopatra is on "The New Sound of Maynard Ferguson" from 1964. http://www.amazon.com/New...rd-Ferguson/dp/B000050SJ8 Brian |

Mitch and Dave: You got me! Guess it's time for some new glasses. I turn 61 two days after the fall election, and it would be nice to see who won. I never
could read music anyway. And now, time for some nitpicking of my own. The "Anthony and Cleopatra" theme is indeed on The New Sound of Maynard
Ferguson as indicated in the link; but as noted, that item is actually a CD reissue compilation of selections from the two albums that Maynard recorded
for the Cameo label in 1964: Come Blow Your Horn and The New Sounds of Maynard Ferguson (note that Sounds is plural on the cover of
the original album). Both vinyl LPs continue to turn up on the internet and in used record stores and are well worth having, as those albums are pretty much
the last efforts of what was left of the Roulette band. OK, time to put down the blue pencil.

Steve, I sent you a PM.
The copy I have is from the 1963 Cameo "Come Blow Your Horn" album. Jimmy. |
