Wayne - I am a long time friend of your brother, The Jack Attack Naus. He turned me on to your web site and WOW I am impressed. I love your power and style. Looking forward to hearing more of your music. I traveled with many bands in the 60's and 70's with lots of horn play and you would have fit it nicely. I am from Easton.PA | |

Loved your site. The first time I ever saw Maynard Ferguson, you were playing in the band. 1972? Bridgeport, CT. Forever in my memory. Also, loved your rendition of Maynard's solo in "The Mark of Jazz". Great tribute. | |

I was watching your Tower of Power Ensemble video that I discovered while looking at some TOP videos, very impressive. I first saw TOP in 1969 in Columbus at Ohio State and have been a fan ever since. Nice job.
Also, one of my favorite players, and albums, Arturo Sandoval, Hot House. And another favorite of mine, Buddy Rich, the live album Big Swing Face. Great stuff! | |

And thanks for great teachers like yourself , Lou Mucci, Wes Hensel and John La Porta your incrdible encouragement really paid of. Keep up the good work and the dream a live.

My highest regards Wayne! Awesome awesome tone sir! Im a comback player at 47 LOL but have the tone back at least. I was 1st Chair in the Okla state band back in high school 30 something years ago! Joined the USAF and did my 20 and wish I would have gotten into the band instead of leaving the music thing behind. God has given me the desire again though and the talent so Im back at it. Maynard has allways been my hero too and it was while in that high school jazz band that a friend let me borrow his album. Before that I was all Doc and was like Maynard who?? Not after that! LOL Have you heard (and I guess you have) Dan McMillion from here in Florida? His hero was Maynard and he plays just like him and they do all the same material on his 4 cd's. If you ever want to give out any advice for better tone or high register Im here to listen! Many thanks again for a great site and songs to hear, my highest compliments on your playing, and bless you and yours, Rick | |

Hi Wayne,
Nice website....I was linked to it from the Trumpet Stuff website. It has been years, hope you are well. I'm living in NYC doing Broadway & Clubdates(GB). Hope to see you one day again soon. I've done some gigs in Boston over the years, but they were on the weekend so when I stopped into Berklee, naturally, you weren't around. The sound samples are wonderful! All the best, Todd Schwartz | |

35 years ago Wayne - You inspired me as a kid, opened up my eyes to the music that I love, and I have never forgotten all the time you spent trying to get me to learn to read - never mind play! You were very instrumental to me and I'll never forget that. Unofrtunately I went on a different career path in life however I always watch for your name, still listen to your albums with Buddy and Maynard, and am thrilled that you have become a star. You were never a conceited jerk, always a great guy and someone who inspired me as a kid to become successful in life because of the discipline that you taught me. When I am in Boston again, I hope to be able to see you play | |

Dear Mr. Naus,
The PressEnterprise, which I read daily over the internet, led me to your site. I "wasted" an hour so far just bathing in your music and really enjoying the musical ability of the wedding group. (can't remember their complete name). I am only an amateur at the piano and an amateur at this computer. But we certainly do share a love of music and a love of style. Thanks for the extra treat this morning! Donna BHS Class OF 1965 | |
