    Who plays higher than anyone? Vitally important to know.

    Cat Anderson.
    When the trumpet is squeaking like a mouse
    and no longer sounds like a trumpet,
    you're playing higher than anyone else can play.

    On the original "Ole" from circa 1950, Maynard Ferguson squeled an E-flat above Triple C, according to my friend who had perfect pitch.
    Near the end of the song there is a brief silence,
    so my friend slowed the LP from 33 rpm to 16 rpm to hear it.

    We have heard Maynard Ferguson play Triple C's live in many 1970's concerts.

    But now there are several players who can play Triple C's and above.

    There is a YouTube video showing Deshawn Whoever-ever squealing a Triple C.

    In an interview that I think was in the 1990's, Maynard talked about playing a High G in the distance past, and commenting on past verus present, he said something to the effect,
    "Back then, not everybody played High G's."

    Correction:

    My arthritic fingers accompanied by half-blind eyes typed the wrong number.

    The original "Ole" by Maynard Ferguson was circa 1959.
