MAYNARD FERGUSON


MAYNARD FERGUSON
Live at Jimmys
Stay Loose With Bruce

During the 1973 Newport Jazz Festival (which had been moved to New York City the year before), Maynard and his band were playing a series of dates at Jimmy Ryan's jazz club on West 52nd street. After recording Ella Fitzgerald's performance for the festival at Carnegie Hall, producer Teo Macero and music critic Mort Goode went over to Jimmy's to catch Maynard's set later that evening, along with a handful of Columbia Records executives. Due to the excitement of the performance and the quality of the venue, it was quickly decided that this needed to be captured for a live album.
