I was saddend to hear that big band jazz great Maynard Ferguson has passed away.  Maynard's "Live at Jimmy's" was a staple of my formative highschool listening  years.  Maynard defined the 'trumpet-hero' genre with his incredible power and range.  Maynard's jazz/rock fusion style opened the door to jazz for many like myself who grew up listening to rock.  He will be missed.
