	Maynard Ferguson Biography at JazzTrumpetSolos.com
		Ferguson was heard frequently on CBC radio and on one occasion played a Serenade for Trumpet in Jazz written for him by Morris Davis.
		Ferguson went to the USA in 1948 and worked in turn in the big bands of Boyd Raeburn, Jimmy Dorsey, and Charlie Barnet until 1950.
		While Ferguson's dramatic virtuosity in the extreme upper registers of the trumpet (extending with ease to double-high 'C') and the bravado and invariably au courant style of his band have taken his popularity beyond the jazz world, they also have brought him a certain amount of critical disdain.

	Maynard Ferguson: Chameleon & Conquistador
		Before the recording of Chameleon, Ferguson had noted the paucity of opportunities for big bands in the U.S., and by 1967 he was touring and living in Great Britain as well as traveling to India on a personal spiritual quest.
		In fact, it would appear that the entire raison d’etre for this album is the inclusion of Ferguson’s version of “Gonna Fly Now.” Jay Chattaway’s version forgoes some of the epic qualities of the original in deference to a certain funkiness, but overall it’s the song you remember.
		It was albums like Conquistador and a few that followed that caused many a jazz fan to quit taking Maynard Ferguson seriously as a jazz musician, though his recent work with his Big Bop Nouveau band have done much to reinstate his jazz credentials.

		The “Admiral” of jazz, trumpet master Maynard Ferguson, has been leading his own bands since the age of 15.
		Maynard’s personal-model Holton trumpet has been called the best MF Horn yet.
		It has a bore size identical to that of Ferguson’s former main horn, the ST306, but the ST307’s specially tapered full-length mouthpipe and reversed tuning slides allow unprecedented dynamic playing freedom, and its tuning slide’s more rounded contour makes the air flow more easily than ever before.

		Skilful use of arrangements often allowed the Ferguson bands to create an impression of size; the 12-piece band he led at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival had all the power and impact of many groups twice its size.
		In the USA again during the 70s, he moved into jazz rock and reached a new audience who found the music and the flamboyance with which it was presented extremely attractive.
		Ferguson also plays several other brass instruments with considerable skill, but it is as a trumpeter that he has made his greatest impact.

	Maynard Ferguson: Chameleon / Conquistador - PopMatters Music Review
		By far one of the most successful big bands of the time was the band led by Maynard Ferguson.
		Less exciting by far is Conquistador, which was released, not as the follow-up to Chameleon, but as the successor to Primal Scream, an album that was made with Bob James in the producer's chair.
		Now that some of the more commercial Ferguson CDs are out of the bag, write to Sony and ask that they reissue these other classic albums and help restore the legacy of Maynard Ferguson and an important time in the history of big band music.

		Ferguson seems to have fallen into general disregard as a player (though still, of course, revered as a technician on the instrument and an all-time high-note acrobat), but I think it's unfair.

	The Music of Maynard Ferguson
		Written in the '50's for Maynard's Birdland Dream Band, this chart is a laid back, swinging tune, with a roaring ensemble section near the end.
		As recorded on "Maynard Ferguson Plays Jazz For Dancing" (Roulette), this may be the prettiest chart that Willie did for Maynard's band.
		This wonderful, quiet, "Li'l Darlin'-ish" chart was recorded by Maynard as "Easy Chair." It has a great melodic and harmonic sense that puts it in a class all its own.

		The 1962 Maynard Ferguson Orchestra performs five Don Menza arrangements/compositions, plus two by Don Rader and one apiece from Mike Abene and Don Sebesky on this well-rounded LP.
		None of the originals caught on, but there are plenty of fine solos from the leader/trumpeter, Menza on tenor, altoist Lanny Morgan and pianist Abene; plus, the rhythm section is really pushed by drummer Rufus Jones.
		All of this enjoyable music has since been reissued in Mosaic's ten-CD Maynard Ferguson on Roulette box set.
