During his period on Columbia, Maynard Ferguson showed a willingness (and sometimes even an eagerness) to record pop material. His trumpet playing is frequently brilliant throughout this LP with his English orchestra, but not too many jazz purists will be thrilled with his renditions of "Theme from Shaft," "Spinning Wheel," and "Hey Jude." The music is actually better than it seems, but do not look here for any bop. ~ Scott Yanow

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)
Back to the 70's It is great to hear the old tunes like Hey Jude that Maynard commonly did in the 70's. Taking the pop hits of the day and, with great arrangements and his wonderful bands, putting the jazz touch on them.

$11.15 Trained by some great jazz and classical teachers Angelo LaTona has carefully crafted his art. Two of the mentors that stand out are Ron Thal and Tom Gavornik. The latter brought him over the top with jazz improvisation. It was Tom Gavornik ("Soul Cry", "Perfectly Flawed" among his many albums) that encouraged him, after listening to some of Angelo's originals, to put out "Unveiled" a CD which Gavornik co-produced. The love of the guitar came at the early age of 6 years when his uncle gave him his first acoustic guitar for Christmas. He never put it down.
