Conquistador

Conquistador (1977) more music like this

by Maynard Ferguson

Maynard was shrewd, and Maynard was quick, and he managed to beat almost everyone to the punch -- sorry -- when he recorded the theme from Rocky and watched it rise to number 28 on the pop charts. As blatant as Ferguson's rendition is, it was still the best rendition of the Bill Conti tune at the time (a lot better than the composer's own number ...

M.F. Horn, Vol. 2

M.F. Horn, Vol. 2 (1972) more music like this

by Maynard Ferguson

During his period on Columbia, Maynard Ferguson showed a willingness (and sometimes even an eagerness) to record pop material. His trumpet playing is frequently brilliant throughout this LP with his English orchestra, but not too many jazz purists will be thrilled with his renditions of "Theme from Shaft," "Spinning Wheel," and "Hey Jude." The ...

New Vintage

New Vintage (1977) more music like this

by Maynard Ferguson

Trumpeter Maynard Ferguson's 1977 album New Vintage was yet another foray into the gluttonously epic, rock-infused jazz he had already perfected on such albums as Primal Scream and Conquistador -- the latter of which contained Ferguson's popular version of "Gonna Fly Now," the theme from Rocky. Featuring his cheekily named MF Big Band, New Vintage ...

Chameleon

Chameleon (1974) more music like this

by Maynard Ferguson

Although trumpeter Maynard Ferguson's mid- to late-'70s catalog was commercially viable, it also reflected the overindulgence that, in essence, defined the decade. By 1974, Ferguson had already become one of the most established figures in contemporary jazz. After performing with Stan Kenton & His Orchestra in 1950, he became a prolific recording ...

M.F. Horn, Vols. 4-5: Live at Jimmy's

M.F. Horn, Vols. 4-5: Live at Jimmy's (1973) more music like this

by Maynard Ferguson

This double LP is easily Maynard Ferguson's best jazz-oriented recording for Columbia. With the exception of a remake of "MacArthur Park" (which isn't bad), the music sticks exclusively to jazz with the highlights including "I'm Gettin' Sentimental Over You," "Two for Otis," "Stay Loose with Bruce," "The Fox Hunt," and "Got the Spirit." In ...

Primal Scream

Primal Scream (1976) more music like this

by Maynard Ferguson

An all-star cast assists Maynard Ferguson in this disco-tinged big-band outing. Ferguson's trademark trumpet playing is featured in all its screaming glory, and Mark Colby contributes a couple of high-energy sax solos. "Primal Scream" and "Invitation" sound as though they were lifted right off the mid-'70s disco dancefloor, complete with T.S.O.P. ...

Swingin' for Schuur (2001) more music like this

by Diane Schuur & Maynard Ferguson

Well regarded as one of our greatest living jazz singers, Schuur seems to enjoy album titles created out of puns of her name -- prior to this there was Friends for Schuur -- but don't let the novelties distract you from this sassy, explosively brassy swing project blending her inventive vocals with Ferguson's blistering trumpet and the ensemble ...

On a High Note: Best of the Concord Jazz Recordings (2007) more music like this

by Maynard Ferguson

Trumpeter Maynard Ferguson's move to Concord Records in the mid-'90s was a return to form for the iconic high-note jazz musician. Having scored his biggest success in the '70s with the jazz-funk of "The Theme from 'Rocky'," Ferguson had achieved a level of fame, money and legend few of his contemporaries would match. However, by the '80s the ...

M.F. Horn, Vol. 1 (1970) more music like this

by Maynard Ferguson

Trumpeter Maynard Ferguson began his successful "comeback" (after several years of low-profile activity) with this well-received Columbia LP. Featuring his English orchestra (and such soloists as altoist Pete King and Danny Moss on tenor), Ferguson had a minor hit in "MacArthur Park," showcases some Indian musicians on "Chala Nata," and shows ...

The Essential Maynard Ferguson (2007) more music like this

by Maynard Ferguson

While this two-CD set does cover a lot of the material Maynard Ferguson recorded between the mid-'50s and late '90s, it suffers from a chronological imbalance that keeps it from living up to its title as the "essential" distillation of his work. It's heavily tilted toward his Columbia output, which is understandable given that Columbia/Legacy is ...

Jazz Moods: Morning Cup of Jazz (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Jazz Moods: Morning Cup of Jazz is designed -- like a cup of strong hot coffee -- to ease listeners pleasantly but firmly into the day and, as such, compiles jazz tracks with an easygoing yet energetic feel. The musical styles are all over the place -- Latin jazz, Brazilian jazz, jazz-pop, funky soul-jazz -- so the collection really doesn't hang ...

Wow! The Formative Years (2007) more music like this

by Maynard Ferguson

Long before the wah-wah guitars, the polyester body suits, and "Gonna Fly Now (Theme from Rocky)," trumpeter Maynard Ferguson was a stellar high-note technician with deft bop improvisational chops. In other words, a big-band-era rock star or bop star, if you will. Wow! The Formative Years collects various tracks the trumpeter recorded with a ...
