"Can't fit this much ego on one stage" - gotta say, great embouchures, those dimples ain't for cuteness

"embouchures" - the muscle discipline around the mouth for wind instruments: *NO* absolutely *NO* puffing out the cheeks. Those dimples aren't for cuteness.

2. Where was this, and when ? Obviously a Maynard salute ... ***********, but can't remember the Japanese guy's name

(Eric Miyashiro. Heard him do Maynard numbers before, but on an Eb trumpet.)

Can't recognize the other guy at all, but sure it's a name I'll know. (Wayne Bergeron. I peaked at YouTube. Good God, how long has he been around ? Amazing.)

Patrick Hession ???? I've heard the name, but .... never would have occurred to me. I thought it was Arturo (he did his own cover of "Ole'".)

I only posted from my surface appreciation of the talented performance and the fond humor of the "egos" reference. Thanks for the nudge to learn!

6. Thanks! I can appreciate (without lingering) talent while hating the genre. So my detestation of jazz

explains why I never heard of him (and unapologetically didn't hear out the piece). I just clicked to find out his name. Give me a pass on this, you much esteemed human!

*** It's been one of my Eternal Quandaries, how magnificent artists can create magnificent stuff while being human excrement - Richard WAGNER an outright proto-Nazi, CHOPIN a wreck and wrecker of anybody he came in contact with, PICASSO and untold many others.

Not casting asparagus on Arturo SANDOVAL here since I know nothing personal about him, his apparent jazz prediliction being enough for my castigating.

Nothing to offend you, whom I have long appreciated, just my small mindedness on something not having to do with you!
