Maynard Ferguson's version of "Birdland" from this LP was a bit of a hit and he fares fairly well on "Stella by Starlight" and "Over the Rainbow," but overall this typically commercial Columbia album is of lesser interest. MF, at the height of his popularity, was clearly looking for a hit, which is why he recorded "Theme from Battlestar Galactica" and roughly half of the poppish material on this rather forgettable effort. The trumpeter/bandleader would record worse albums than this LP, but this one is weak enough. ~ Scott Yanow
Popular. A big seller, but weak from the jazz standpoint. ~ Ron Wynn

Hot could be the absolute worst of trumpeter Maynard Ferguson's '70s recordings. It's not just that it contains more over the top versions of theme songs -- "Rocky II Disco" anyone? -- and generally vomitive dancefloor-ready production, but more to the point, 'ol MF just doesn't sound good. His chops, ...

Still looking for another "Theme From Rocky" while at the same time trying to maintain some kind of credibility as a jazz act, the Maynard Ferguson big band walks the tightrope uneasily on this 1980 release. After hearing the commercial disco/funk of "It's My Time" and "Dance to Your Heart," where the big band serves as mere window dressing to Ferguson's soaring trumpet and the beat, you think that the gotta-dance pattern has been ...
