5.0 out of 5 stars
It's about time...SUPERB!,
By W. Beck "Wil B." (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: M.F. Horn (Audio CD)
It's about time this album appeared on CD; thanks to Wounded Bird for making it happen. A great CD with Maynard's all British Band paving the way for his big comeback in the USA. Great arrangements including a beautiful ballad penned by the always underrated Kenny Wheeler. The whole album shines.
MacArther Park and L-Dopa were Maynard classics that he played for years and the band really opens up both for unique interludes and solos. Special mention should go to the big band SOUND of this album. Maynard is beginning to Rock Out! Much bigger and more impressive than Maynard's small bands from the early 60s. Even in vinyl form this was an excellently engineered album. One of the best recorded big bands ever! BILL

Excellent document of the time,

This review is from: M.F. Horn (Audio CD)
I grew up on this album, and learned what jazz big band sounded like from it.
It was only later I realized that a.) these are really great arrangements and b.) Peter King (alto sax) is a revelation. This is best Peter King I've heard yet on record -- an amazing lead alto and saxophone solo sound. (and you thought everyone was listening to the lead trumpet) The recorded sound is what it is, and not ideal. Now, when is MF Horn II coming out?

Great Music, Great MF, Lousy Recording technique,
This review is from: M.F. Horn (Audio CD)
Unlike some of the MF releases in the 70's, this one has all great cuts including the original classic MF treatment of MacArthur Park.
Eli's Comin' is a fire-filled chart as well. The only thing that degrades this one is the terrible recording techniques used at the time in the studio making MF and the band soundlike they were 50 yards away from the mics at times. Despite that, a definite recommendation.
