Big band leader and jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson, who played with Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Kenton and recorded the Rocky theme song, has died at the age of 78.
The Canadian-born Ferguson died in a Ventura, Calif., hospital Wednesday after suffering kidney and liver failure brought on by an abdominal infection.
Ferguson’s death comes just weeks after he and his Big Bop Nouveau Band had completed recording an album. They also played several sold out performances at New York’s Blue Note Club in late July.
