Canadian jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson was something of a prodigy as a youngster, playing solos with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Orchestra broadcasts when he was 13 years old, and was always destined for a career in music, training at the Conservatoire in Montreal until 1948. 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

Rebecca Caroline Ferguson est née le 21 juillet 1986 à Liverpool, en Angleterre. En 2010, cette admiratrice d'Aretha Franklin et d'Amy Winehouse termine deuxième de la septième saison de l'émission et concours de chant The X Factor. Clairement orienté vers la néo-soul, son premier album Heaven (2011) se classe numéro trois en Grande-Bretagne et s'écoule à un million cinq cents mille copies dans le monde, avec l'aide des singles « Nothing's Real But Love » et « Backtrack », devenus des tubes. En 2013, l'apprentie diva revient avec l'album Freedom qui connaît un succès moindre, même s'il est disque d'or au Royaume-Uni. La France est touchée tardivement par le phénomène. Le simple « Glitter & Gold », présent sur Heaven, ne fréquente les charts qu'en décembre 2014. En 2015, Rebecca Ferguson rend hommage à l'une de ses héroïnes, Billie Holiday, à travers l'album de reprises Lady Sings the Blues.

100-year-old Walter Gavitt Ferguson from Costa Rica is a living legend, a Calypsonian of mythical proportions.

They once even moved a recording studio to his house, as he refused to go to the city.
