AMG Review
by Scott Yanow

After eight years the Maynard Ferguson Orchestra was in its last period when it recorded a couple of LPs for Mainstream. The band's sound and winning spirit were still unchanged from its prime days and this excellent album (which features solos from the trumpeter/leader, valve trombonist Rob McConnell, altoist Lanny Morgan, Willie Maiden on tenor, baritonist Ronnie Cuber and pianist Mike Abene) is a fine example of the orchestra's music. Highlights include "Airegin," "Green Dolphin Street" and a remake of "Three More Foxes" (although their version of "People" can be safely skipped).
