Birdland-Maynard Ferguson&Big Bop Nouveau
歌手介绍
Maynard Ferguson broke up his funk combo High Voltage around this
time and put together a 15-piece straightahead group that emphasized
swinging and big band-oriented charts. Although there is a throwaway
"Maynard Ferguson Hit Medley," such pieces as "Blue Birdland,"
"Cherokee" and "But Beautiful" better showcase the remarkable trumpeter.
The sidemen include Christopher Hollyday on alto. This is an excellent
all-round showcase for MF but the CD from the now-defunct Intima label
will be hard to find
