Jazz Trumpet Licks

If you haven’t watched this great Jazz video of Scott Englebright (aka “Scooter”) performing the tune Maynard Ferguson you’re in for a real treat. That’s right, Maynard Ferguson is the name of the tune. I always thought that was a weird name for a tune. What do you think?

This was when Scott Englebright was at the University of North Texas. At one point I wanted to go to this University. UNT is considered one of the best Jazz Universities around. Anyway, the reason I added the Jazz video to the site is because there are a lot of high notes and Scott Englebright has a really fat trumpet sound.

By the way, is Scooter’s last name spelled Engelbright, or Englebright? I’ve seen it spelled both ways all over the internet.
