Description

Double dose of jazz-funk heaven on this excellent vinyl reissue of Columbia’s promo-only release of Maynard Ferguson’s dancefloor masterpieces ‘Pagliacci and ‘Primal Scream’.

On Side A’s ‘Pagliacci’, jazz trumpeter Ferguson puts a genius twist on his unlikely operatic source material, creating a disco tour-de force that became a staple of the NYC club scene on its original release in ’76, also igniting the UK’s jazz-funk scene. A whirling maelstrom of insane percussion, Maynard’s signature horns and one of the most awesome flute solos ever committed to vinyl, this is pure dancefloor mayhem.

Over on Side B, we have the equally accomplished ‘Primal Scream’ – a slightly slower pace doesn’t lessen the drama in this superb jazz-funk workout with tight drums and bass keeping the tension building while the brass soars above. Amazing stuff from a supreme artist. Don’t miss!
