So awesome. Played that in High School Stage Band in the late 1970s.

[JohnScarchilli]

Everyone is commenting on the Trumpet solo and rightly so, but how about a shout for that excellent bone work....amazing

[fredschroyer]

wowowow! The musical discipline of this band is spectacular! Intense precision gives this song a whole new take. Maynard would love it!

[RHomefield]

Loved it! I played trombone with Maynard at the Stage Band Festival in Toronto, BBC recorded us playing Give It One. I know no one has left any recent comments. I'm sure the band is long gone, and I wish I could tell them all how fabulous they all were.

[TLJ]

Awesome cover. Funky get down version. Bad to the bone solo. Keeping M.F. a live. Paz!

[martinHearndrums]

Wonderful! After seeing Maynard take this almost to the point of spontaneous human combustion it's so refreshing to hear it work at a relaxed and funky tempo. 

[nonsequitur]

The best cover of Give It One I've ever heard in 40 years!! The blend/balance/precision is the closest to the original studio version than any other, and the arrangement is out of this world!! Loved it!! Great solos too.

"Give It One (meaning #1)."
That's what Maynard named this bad ass song that I'm too old to play anymore.

[ВолодимирКоваль-зм]

Супер виконання музичного твору - браво Олег Масляков супер трубач і колектив всі профі музиканти, таких трубачів - свистунів п`ять на весь світ...

Have been listening to
Maynard all night

This is FINE!


Bravo!

Wild trombone solo. Yowza


You guys have done w Maynard’s sound what Leonid and friends are doing w chicagos tunes.

[Baritone]

Wow, who woulda figured? A Russian with an iron cross for a bell on his trumpet would make Maynard swing!??!

[rodneybjornstad]

Holy smokes !


I’ve heard that song for 48 years from Maynard’s recordings .

Yours is a mite slower
And
I like it better


Super trombone solo
Fab lead trumpet control

Pjenomenal

[Ravivharshanee]

Magnificent...absolutely terrific, guys.  Maynard would totally dig it!

[john]

I love Maynard, but you guys elevated this song to a new and amazing height! I was absolutely stunned with what you did here....Bravo! I applaud you....

[romainjaivenois]

what a sound, what a range. Really good bro

[MrPARKBRAU]

This is Love all the brass, very well done. Thanks for this fine post listening in Palm Springs Ca.

[tpledger]

I'm a diehard old school Maynard fan and I like what you've done with this. Good to see that MF's music will live on in the next generation. That's got to be the wildest trumpet I've ever seen. Great playing from all musicians!

[bruteforce]

First time I'v e listened to Oleg he is an amazing trumpeter, his articulation and tone is spot on. Fricken' awesome !

[dillons]

came here from a group playing it super fast and it appeared hard for them to keep This is the first time I've ever heard it slowed down and I have to say I like it You get an added glimpse of the amazing harmonies within the score. The R O C K S O L I D! Can't think of anything else, I have marked this a favorite and will continue to listen/watch OVER and OVER. Bravo!

[Lugnut]

I've listened to the original Maynard cut of this a thousand times, but man, this is one awesome cover. Love the more relaxed funky beat. And Oleg does sound a lot like Maynard's style.
