Maynard Ferguson, jazz trumpet player and band leader has died. He was at home with his 4 daughters when he succumbed to liver and kidney failure last night.
I was fortunate enough to see him play live with his band at Ronnie Scott's last summer and it was a fantastic evening. We all acknowledged that it could be his last trip to London, just as we had done the year before. If you never had the chance to hear his music live, get down to the shops tomorrow and buy "This Is Jazz". If you did, you will know how missed he will be by the industry and fans alike
