I purchased this CD for my boyfriend. He loves to tell the story that he skipped his H.S. Prom to go see Maynard in concert. We connected through our love of jazz and it remains a constant in our wonderful relationship. He has many vinyls of Maynard, but no turntable that's working currently, so I wanted him to have this CD. The recording is live and it is sharp and clear! Love all the cuts, especially his version of "Caravan". My boyfriend, "McArthur Park" because it brings back memories of his H.S. days. We give this CD 2 thumbs up and recommend it highly!!
As a Maynard devotee and an audiophile, I am pretty critical when I listen. This CD had a lot of his better work from the Roulette era and is possibly the best compilation of music available on CD for someone who wants to hear what he was all about. The recording is truly excellent for the era. I am glad I purchased it, despite already having about every recording on it.
One very nice collection of the master of the stratosphere. He has always been somewhat of an idol to me and this is the best collection I have heard in a long while. Highly recommended to anyone who listens to big band or any brass band. 10 thumbs up!
