This release contains the complete contents of the original Maynard Ferguson big band LPs Plays Jazz for Dancing (1959) and Lets Face the Music and Dance(1960), plus three rare bonus tracks taken from the same sessions and previously issued as singles or on compilation albums. The two albums presented here, come from the zenith of this orchestra and present Maynard Ferguson's vision of dance music at a time in which dancing and Jazz were undergoing serious decline. By 1950, Swing music seemed a thing of the past. Modern Jazz focused on small formats or big orchestral scores which targeted concert halls as opposed to dancing establishments. Most of the dance scene had been taken over by Rock & Roll and R&B bands. The great Canadian-born trumpeter Maynard Ferguson died in California on August 23, 2006, at the age of 78. His career had spanned over 60 years. He formed his own 14-piece band in 1956, and as it starred at the famous Birdland club in New York, it picked up the moniker the Birdland Dream Band - which remained active for nearly nine years, during an era in which most big bands saw very difficult times due to the change of times and musical styles. https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/maynard-ferguson-albums/5227-dancing-sessions-2-lp-on-1-cd.html
