Music reviews of M.F. Horn
Music Review: A Maynard Milestone
Rating: 4 Stars
At this late date it is hard to convey the impact this album had on a generation of mostly high school age musicians and fans who were hereto introduced to big band jazz.
Not only were we seduced by the jazz virtuosity demonstrated on the recognizable pop covers here (Mac. Park and Eli's Comin)but the screaming brass intensity and jazz excitement demonstrated on the other original pieces (L-Dopa)rivaled the hormonal satisfaction many had only experienced from progressive rock heroes of the day. The fact that this sound was produced with instrumentation many of us could only struggle with in school music programs sealed the deal.
The unexpected commercial success of this groove allowed the veteran Ferguson to continue with number of successive recordings on Columbia, culminating with a top 40 hit with the cover of the "Rocky" theme, Gonna Fly Now. At that point, the marketing people at Columbia Records got all the wrong signals and helped to run the trumpet virtuoso's reputation into the ground with a series of forgettable efforts based on jazz/disco/pop covers of well known themes. His image in the jazz world never fully recovered; his early work with Stan Kenton and his own substantive recordings of the 50s and early 60s were almost totally forgotten by critics and purists.
Fortunately, Maynard's creativity, personality and loyal fan base rebounded with him on other labels, most notably Concord Records through the 90's with a number of hard bop 'small' big band recordings that yielded steady concert bookings through the end of his life.
Ferguson's early associations with other jazz greats encouraged many fans with curiosity to experience most of the post-swing era mainstream jazz world and, to a considerable extent for this 'student musician' demographic, unravelled what rock and roll had done to popular musical taste.
Quite a contribution to the American art form, I'd say; and from a Canadian, no less.
