Will never, ever forget Maynard Ferguson. I consider myself truly fortunate to have seen him in concert several times 1970s/1980s, and to have met him on a number of occasions.
Thanks for posting this. M.F. Horn 1 was one of the first jazz records I bought as a teenager in the 70's. The opening track, "Eli's Coming" (by songwriter Laura Nyro), still blows my mind. What a great band that was!
This was the album that influenced me in 1970 when I was 17 to start playing the trumpet. I never played in my high school band but made up for it and played in college.
I find it interesting that you included the back cover to MF Horn. In it, the author (Gene Lees) writes a scathing essay on the state of jazz in the U.S. in the late 1960’s. Gene blasts the jazz music industry in the U.S. as being far more interested in making money than good jazz. He states that is the reason many great jazz artists were taking their talents to Europe rather than staying in the States. I remember reading this essay in the mid 70’s (high school). I was a bit confused by it b/c Maynard was in the midst of a U.S. tour. I have since lost my MF Horn LP to a flooded basement but I did not forget the back cover essay. Thanks for bringing back memories.

Curious who was the sax soloist?
It doesn't say in the liner notes I have but I think it is Pete King on the intro sax solo.
Pete King...
