parroja Posted November 21, 2014 Report Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Since I can't afford the Maynard Ferguson Mosaic set, I'm looking for available Maynard Ferguson Roulette recordings on CD. Roulette CDs I've found: A Message From Birdland Double Exposure Two's Company Maynard '61 Straightaway Jazz Themes Si! Si! MF Roulette CDs that exist but I don't have: A Message From Newport Roulette LPs ( Are any of these available on CD???) Swingin My Way Through College Play Jazz for Dancing Newport Suite Let's Face the Music and Dance Maynard '62 Maynard '63 Message From Maynard Maynard '64 The World of Maynard Ferguson Edited November 21, 2014 by parroja Quote
duaneiac Posted November 21, 2014 Report Posted November 21, 2014 This CD has the Plays Jazz For Dancing and Let's Face The Music And Dance albums combined on it: Quote
JSngry Posted November 22, 2014 Report Posted November 22, 2014 Not Roulette, but immediately after, are the Cameo sessions, which are collected here http://www.amazon.com/Sounds-Maynard-Ferguson-Come-Complete-Recordings/dp/B006GVNILK Might be a little pricey these days, the large Maynard fanbase allows for that, but if you don't already have it and like the later Roulette sessions a lot, you'll most likely enjoy these every bit as much.

JSngry Posted November 22, 2014 Report Posted November 22, 2014 Really surprised that more of those albums weren't released as single CDs. Maynard is like buddy Rich, there's a fan base that extends beyond "typical jazz buffs". The prices of the Mosaic set show that much. Missed opportunity perhaps. Quote
jazzbo Posted November 22, 2014 Report Posted November 22, 2014 Yes. That "stretching beyond" may not be the case in Japan, as even they haven't brought out many. Quote
parroja Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Posted November 23, 2014 I really appreciate the tip regarding the Dancing Sessions CD, that's one I didn't know about- now the challenge of finding it.... Quote
parroja Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Posted November 23, 2014 The Cameo recordings are excellent, any Maynard Ferguson fan will enjoy them. The CD that JSngry referenced is readily available. I think my copy came from importcds.com. Also, Frys has it now for $15.98. http://www.frys.com/product/6941267 Quote
