Jazz trumpeter known as King of the High Note Trumpet.
Probably one of the
last truly great trumpet players. He grew up in
Montreal and started out on violin
at an early age. He then switched to
trumpet at age 9 and two years later was
playing with a top flight Canadian
orchestra. He quit school at age 15 to pursue
his musical career. Both parents were musicians. Moved to USA in
1948.
While living in New York, used LSD with Timothy Leary. Moved to India in
1967
and back to USA in 1973. If
you saw the "Rocky" movies, you heard Maynard's
trumpet
and his top 10
hit recording, "Gonna Fly Now." He
produced more
than 60
albums and was nominated three times for a Grammy award.
