ORCHESTRA AND OCTET

BAND AIN'T DRAGGIN'

Description:
The music on these sides is the product of different sessions that represent, between them, a veritable Blue Book of West Coast jazz. At the head of each ensemble, enjoying himself to the full, is trumpeter extraordinary Maynard Ferguson. Most of the men heard in this CD were old friends, either colleagues from the Stan Kenton band or Californians with whom he had worked on and off for several years. "Stan Kenton was really the first to realize what I could do technically on a horn", said Ferguson in 1956. "Because he's such a natural, such a great leader, he saw my capabilities in perspective and acting accordingly." We feel that anyone interested in West Coast jazz sounds will find these recordings of exceptional value.
