Music reviews of M.F Horn 4 & 5 - Live at Jimmy's
Music Review: An underrated and long overdue release!!!!
Rating: 5 Stars
Prior to going into a phase of attempting to mesh more commercial disco sensibilities with his sound, Maynard made music along these lines.
Now I know that there are many who relish hearing and buy Maynard for his virtuosity on trumpet but the real treasure here is the band.
By that I mean, this band has some marvelous soloists. The arrangments are outstanding and this band swings. At the time of the release there was some grumblings about the use of some electric piano on these pieces, but to my ear it works and is well in context.
The soloists I mentioned earlier are Bob Summers, Ferdinand Povel and Bruce Johnstone. Trumpet, Alto and Baritone saxes respectively. The tune that you you might consider commercial is "MacArthur Park" which is so maligned that it's almost gutsy to do the song. I liked their treatment of it. Maynard is Maynard on it. High up in the stratosphere near the satellites. Bruce Johnstone's solo is outstanding here even introducing a little Latin run.
"I'm Gettin' Sentimental Over You" is startling. All Ferdinand Povel in a marvelous display of what jazz ballad soloing is all about. He improvises beautifully, with excellent tone, literally redefining and modernizing it. I can listen to this one over and over again.
"Got the Spirit" starts out with Bruce Johnstone in blues mode on Baritone and then segues to a wonderfully up-tempo display of virtuosity tenor saxophone virtuosity - by Ferdinand Povel, that section ending with Maynard and him trading licks.
"Stay Loose With Bruce" - is a swinging vehicle for Bruce Johnstone who plays it for all it's worth. Cool, imaginative, expansive and as I said, swinging.
"Left Bank Express" is solid, driving modern jazz orchestra that gets the blood going. Very nice soprano saxophone sol
"The Fox Hunt" is a tour de force featuring Bob Summer and Maynard playing at full throttle. An amazing display of virtuosity, fire and drive by both.
"Two For Otis" is jazz orchestra at it's highest form. It just brings the house down.
I could go on and on. This album is a winner and it's amazing that it took this long for this recording to come out on CD. That's a shame since this one's up there, for me. An excellent Maynard Ferguson recording.
