He moved to the USA and played with the bands of Boyd Raeburn, Jimmy Dorsey and Charlie Barnet before joining Stan Kenton for an extended stint in the early '50s. The recordings featured here represent his first forays into recording leading his own bands. This 43-track 2-CD collection comprises all the titles (excluding one which could not be included for reasons of space) from his albums on the Emarcy label \"The Maynard Ferguson Octet\", \"Dimensions\", \"Around the Horn with Maynard Ferguson\" and \"Boy with Lots of Brass\", with line-ups ranging from an octet to a 13-piece big band. It features many original compositions, with a number by tenor saxophonist and arranger Bill Holman, along with arrangements of classic Songbook standards, with the musicians involved including Bud Shank, Shelly Manne, Milt Bernhart, Herb Geller, Georgie Auld, Red Callender, Nino Tempo, Ray Linn, Bill Holman, Ray Brown, Alvin Stoller, Bobby Timmons, Larry Bunker and many more. It's an intriguing and entertaining insight into his work as he leads his own bands on record for the first time\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinger Snappin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy New Flame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutumn Leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInter-Space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Rue de Madrid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Was Her Name?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYeah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEgad, Martha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreakfast Dance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaiden Voyage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThou Swell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Way You Look Tonight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll God's Children Got Rhythm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow Stroll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWonder Why\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWillie Nillie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHymn to Her\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLonely Town\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomewhere Over the Rainbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMrs. Pitlack Regrets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever You Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePork Pie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDream Boat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell, Hardly Ever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Roamin' Showman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDancing Nitely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAin't Life Grand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdyll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Sesame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC'est la Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWildman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGive Me the Simple Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Funny Valentine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lamp Is Low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImagination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Song Is You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeepers Creepers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Me or Leave Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Foggy Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoonlight in Vermont\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Hadn't Anyone Till You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Never Knew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 824046352226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrobat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.13.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42111586009163,"sku":"43519","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/4352115-3195119.jpg?v=1770184106","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/maynard-ferguson-with-his-own-bands-early-years-1954-57-cd","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
