Maynard Ferguson - Swingin' My Way Through College (Roulette mono). This 1958 album is supposed to represent the kind of set MF's band would play for a dance. In spite of the concept, and the regrettable album title, it's a pretty damn good album, with interesting arrangements by Bill Holman, Slide Hampton, Willie Maiden, and Don Sebesky.

Yes, listening to samples - sounds good - available as a download. No solos at all on the samples - is this true of the whole album?

No, there are plenty of solos - good ones, too - mostly by Maynard (who is remarkably well-behaved), and tenor saxists Carmen Leggio and Willie Maiden. No Slide Hampton solos, alas.
