MAYNARD FERGUSON
MAYNARD 61
MAYNARD 61
VINTAGE MAYNARD
This is the first Maynard album I ever owned and Ole was totally beyond my comprehension.
Maynard Ferguson led his finest orchestra during his period with Roulette; all of the excellent recordings have since been reissued on a ten-CD box set by Mosaic. For those Maynard fans who do not have the box, this single CD gives one some examples of his orchestra, reissuing the original Maynard '61 LP along with one selection ("Saturday Night") from Maynard '64 and adding two previously unissued performances. In addition to the leader/trumpeter, the main soloists are trombonist Slide Hampton, altoist Lanny Morgan, Joe Farrell on tenor and pianist Jaki Byard; trumpeters Rolf Ericson and Bill Berry are also heard on "Blues for Kapp," one of the CD's many highlights.
