Timothy Leary And The Maynard Ferguson Experience


Recommended Posts

Sounds as if Maynard helped spark Leary’s initial trip, so to speak, into the realm of LSD:

”One such individual of indeterminate occupation was Michael Hollingshead who came to see Leary from England, toting a mayonnaise jar of LSD—enough for 10,000 doses. Having already initiated jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson and his wife, Hollingshead and the new converts turned up at Leary’s house.  Seeing the look on Ferguson’s face, Leary tried some acid and became another instant convert.  LSD now became the focus of his psychedelic research.”

Must... eschew... “high notes” puns...
