He absolutely nailed it. It is in my mind, the single greatest physical feat of trumpet playing, from a physical stand point, and sheer bravura to even try this type of thing, any of us will ever witness.
To my knowledge Maynard is the only person to have ever performed this and recorded it. It is a VERY hard to find recording. If you have a chance to pick it up, you should, you will be absolutely amazed.
