The Maynard Ferguson Discography: The 1970s
Ferguson's recordings of the 1970s firmly embraced the pop and rock fusion of the era, bringing him substantial notariety and controversy. Ferguson was also a avid participant in (and perfectly showy advocate for) the jazz education movement that began to flower in the early 1970s. Perhaps the apex of this trajectory was a hit pop single in 1977 of the theme from the movie Rocky, which was aided not only by an infectious Jay Chattaway arrangement and production, but also by the timing of its release prior to the release of the actual soundtrack from the hit film. Columbia's subsequent attempts to turn Ferguson into a rock star met with decreasing success as the decade stumbled to a close, although he still packed many high school auditoria along the way.

Maynard Ferguson
1970: Television Broadcast, Italy
Seeing Maynard perform a complex piece like L-Dopa with just a rhythm section raises the interesting speculative question of what might have been if he had simply stayed in small group formats like Miles Davis' and Bill Chase's rock bands or his own later High Voltage experiments.

8 or 9 July 1976: Miller Jazz Oasis, Summerfest, Milwaukee, WI
WMVS Public TV Live at Summerfest series. Odd, shallow stage that looks like a replica of an old Mississippi River showboat. Notable for a vigorous performance of Jay Chattaway's sprawling Tommy medley, which never got a studio recording. Apparently two different sets and/or days as the 1st half of the recording has the band in standard black tour t-shirts and the 2nd half in festive, colorful caftans. Pagliacci ends on quite remarkable F7 (Bb trumpet G above double-high C).

Jerry Lewis co-hosts this musically star-studded episode. MF and Lewis had been cordial back in the 1950s when they were both working in Hollywood (see Lee's bio pp 46-47), but the reunion with Lewis faking it on trumpet is a bit painful to watch unless you're a big Jerry Lewis fan.

April and May 1979: Media Sound, New York City; Wally Heider, Los Angeles, CA; A&M, Los Angeles, CA
Sessions for the Hot album. If you did not like disco, you will not like this album, and negative reviews for this album out on the web reflect the curious persistence of tribal anti-disco backlash long after disco retreated into the more-welcoming confines of its dance-hall roots. As with the ELO Discovery album of the same year, the reputation contradicts the fact that only three of the seven cuts could really be considered disco: Rocky II, the remix of Star Trek and the Topa-Topa Woman (star-crossed love-child of Carnival's How Ya' Doin' Baby). Both Dayride and Om Sai Ram reflect the creative hybridity of the fusion era that would be lost in the subsequent reactionary regression of jazz into elitist neoclassicism. Even purists should find some worth in the lovely string arrangement of Naima. The bulk of the playing on this album was done by MF's working band, making it a better snapshot of the talent in MF's bands than the extravagant studio-musician assemblages that dominated the second half of his Columbia output.
