That's funny, because I think of Maynard as old school. I would rather listen to Wayne Bergeron's CD than any other CD I own! To me he has taken jazz trumpet playing to a new level, of course that's just my opinion.

If I could play like any trumpet player who ever lived, I would want to play like Wayne! Doc, who I consider old school, would be second, and Snooky would probably be third.
