Comments for Ferguson, Maynard, The Maynard Ferguson Years

It came out in 1961.

This album includes songs from: A Message From Newport (rec.May,1958) A Message From Birdland (rec.June,1959) Newport Suite (rec.March,1960) Lets Face the Music and Dance (rec.October,1960) Straightaway/Jazz Themes (rec.June,1961) Maynard ‘62 (rec.June & December,1961) * “Hip Twist” (single - rec.December,61) Maynard ‘63 (rec.March,1962) Si! Si! M.F. (rec.early 1962)

I found this 2 record set at a used record store in Ann Arbor, Michigan last January (97). It is in mint condition and I only paid 9.50 for it. It''s a great recording. Vintage Maynard. Stuff from around the mid 50s, although this is a compilation that was re-released sometime in the 60s on Roulette records. I also found "jam session...featuring MF" at the same store that day. Can''t wait to go back and see what else they have (I live two hours away!)

A two record boxed set that I would guess came out around 1965.
