I got a Discography on-line to see which albums I am missing and noticed that I had some that were not included: Message from Birdland, Swingin For Schuur, Jazz Masters 52 and a "Wyncote" album labeled "Maynard Ferguson".

That's an incredible collection. I had most of those records on LP through Big Bop Nouveau. But stupidly sold them in the late 90s when I needed some cash. I used to go to used record shops and pour through the jazz sections and the new incoming stuff on the hunt for MF stuff I didn't have.
Funny nowadays, just hop over to YouTube, click a button and you can have a listen. But I miss the hunt, and expedition of going to record stores, and talking with live humans. Times have changed for sure.
Again what a great collection you have! |

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you list your favorite 4 or 5 MF albums? I'd like to add them to my collection. I have heard that MF 4 & 5 are the best. What do you think?

For Maynard rock-era I love the British band stuff.
My favorite is the self titled record with Stony End, Your Song, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Aquarius etc. That album is so raw, I just love it.
And Maynard still had his original teeth, before his sound and chops changed. |

My high school played Maynard's Bridge Over Troubled Water and I got to front the band. Mind you I never really had the range so I had to take liberties, but it was still thrilling and terrifying to be playing MF charts back then.
BTW, love that whole album. M.F. Horn 3 is another killer from that period with Awright, Awright being one of my absolute favorite MF tunes.

Yes! For me it's pretty much a tie score of that one, MF Horn 2 and the MF Horn 4 & 5 Live at Jimmy's albums, with an honorable mention going to the rendition of MacArthur Park on the MF Horn album. I LOVE how cleanly he plays that first recording of the song. |

Heck yeah, the MF1 MacArthur Park is my favorite as well.

Always loved that octave gloss and trill around 1:27 or so. I only heard that on this recording amongst the zillions of other Mac Park recordings. |

That's my fav Maynard album from that era too. My high school jazz band played Nice'n Juicy during my high-school years, and I still like to listen to this track on MF Horn 3 every now and then.

Nice 'n Juicy is the only MF chart that I ever went out of my way to purchase. I bought back when the publisher Creative World was still around.
