Music reviews of M.F Horn 4 & 5 - Live at Jimmy's
Music Review: Highest marks
Rating: 5 Stars
One of the first jazz recordings I had, and still a favorite. I can't believe they finally got around to releasing this one on CD. Long, long ago I burned my own CD from my LP copy.
While some of the arrangements do sound dated (Mr. Ferguson's recordings of that era were in keeping with the times), the music is very well played. This particular band was spirited, and very talented. On this afternoon they came prepared to blow the walls down, and did just that.
Those early MF Horn records showcased some adventurous music, and great bands. This record includes some favorites, and some just plain smokin' numbers. But, there's more variety here including a great ballad number.
Throughout the recording, Maynard confidently leads the charge with his familiar altissimo trumpeting. While this is a must have for trumpet players, the band has a solid rhythm section, and features some terrific saxophonists. Bruce Johnstone is a very fine player, as is Ferdinand Povel. His gorgeous playing on the ballad arrangement of I'm Gettin' Sentimental Over You is a real treat. (I think Mr. Povel spent the bulk of his time in the Netherlands playing and teaching, but on this record he does some awesome soloing). During the "duet" with Bruce Johnstone during Two for Otis, they pull out all the stops.
Without a doubt, MF 4&5 Live at Jimmy's is my favorite MF recording. I saw the MF band later on in their career (early 80s) and if they played any of the material from the early records it was usually buried in some medley. With this CD, you can appreciate what those bands of the early '70s sounded like. Maynard showcased a number of talented players that came through the ranks, played some nice charts, and put on an exciting concert.
