Maynard Ferguson devotees will, by themselves, make this CD a best seller, if they ever find out he is on it, which the liner notes do nothing to help clarify. His playing is not used to it's best advantage, but it is a great example of the self-discipline that green-faced detractors have historically denied he posesses. Charlie Teagarden's solos are SWEEEEEEET!

This is a very nice CD. Alot of the arrangements have been slightly to moderately revised from their original form, I think making the music much more interesting to listen to. Overall, the group sounds very polished--they are certainly having fun, Dorsey is in good form, and the choice of music is ok. The sound quality is very nice, indeed. The interview is wonderful; if you are a Dorsey fan you will appreciate this man's humility!! This is a very good CD for the Dorsey fan. There are better, but this CD deserves a solid 4 stars!
