As part of Verve's extensive Jazz Masters reissue series, this CD has some highlights from trumpeter Maynard Ferguson's recordings for EmArcy and Mercury. There is one selection ("King's Riff") from a date with tenorman Ben Webster and altoist Benny Carter, five songs from an album with West Coast all-stars (Dimensions), a version of "Can't We Talk It Over" that features MF with arranger Pete Rugolo, and selections from Ferguson's early big band LPs Around the Horn and Boy with Lots of Brass. Best-known as a high-note trumpeter, Maynard Ferguson did his best on these performances to show off his other abilities including taking solos on valve trombone and playing jazz in the trumpet's lower register. The bop-based music is enjoyable, there are many other prominent soloists (including altoists Bud Shank, Herb Geller and Anthony Ortega) and Irene Kral sings an effective rendition of "Moonlight in Vermont." But more serious collectors are advised to search for the complete original records.~Scott Yanow

Como parte de la extensa serie de reediciones de Verve de Jazz Masters, este CD tiene algunos puntos destacados de las grabaciones del trompetista Maynard Ferguson para EmArcy y Mercury. Hay una selección ("King's Riff") de una cita con el tenor Ben Webster y el altoista Benny Carter, cinco canciones de un álbum con las estrellas de la costa oeste (Dimensions), una versión de "Can't We Talk It Over" que cuenta con MF con el arreglista Pete Rugolo, y selecciones de los primeros LP de las grandes bandas de Ferguson Around the Horn y Boy with Lots of Brass. Maynard Ferguson, conocido como trompetista de alto nivel, hizo todo lo posible en estas actuaciones para mostrar sus otras habilidades, incluyendo los solos de trombón de válvula y la interpretación de jazz en el registro bajo de la trompeta. La música basada en el bop es agradable, hay muchos otros solistas destacados (incluidos los altoistas Bud Shank, Herb Geller y Anthony Ortega) e Irene Kral canta una eficaz interpretación de "Moonlight in Vermont". Pero se aconseja a los coleccionistas más serios que busquen los registros originales completos. ~Scott Yanow
