Comments for Ferguson, Maynard, Maynard Ferguson And His Original Dreamband

This is available on CD as "Maynard Ferguson and his Dreamband Orch.''56--Live at Peacock Lane." The LP itself is probably out of print. This is a good record in that it includes many tunes that were standard charts for the MF big bands of the mid to late 1950''s, many of which you would nowadays find hard to collect unless you you buy the big Mosaic/Roulette set.

This was recorded live in 1956 and not released for 28 years!There is a picture on the back of Maynard holding his trumpet, and his mouthpiece is almost flat!I Have also seen this out on CD.
