5 out of 6 of the titles linked are unauthorized European Public Domain releases. Buyer beware. Yeah, that's right. Don't buy them. Do this instead. For $1,100 you can get a new set or for $700 a used set. http://www.amazon.co...aynard Ferguson I know some people here have much high moral standards than I, but I say that when the legitimate owners let them go out of print and have no interest in reissuing them, then get them however you can.

Actually quite a bit of it is available on individual CD's. I'll list some amazon links http://www.amazon.com/Maynard-Straightaway-Themes-Bonus-Tracks/dp/B00BZV12QE/ref=sr_1_12?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1407627423&sr=1-12&keywords=Maynard+Ferguson http://www.amazon.com/Message-Birdland-Maynard-Ferguson/dp/B000TE8BHQ/ref=sr_1_19?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1407627685&sr=1-19&keywords=Maynard+Ferguson http://www.amazon.com/Swingin-My-Way-Through-College/dp/B00491C6FS/ref=sr_1_69?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1407627767&sr=1-69&keywords=Maynard+Ferguson http://www.amazon.com/Message-Newport-Maynard-Ferguson/dp/B0049Z2S2A/ref=sr_1_73?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1407627817&sr=1-73&keywords=Maynard+Ferguson http://www.amazon.com/Newport-Suite-Maynard-Ferguson/dp/B00LODO64I/ref=sr_1_89?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1407627846&sr=1-89&keywords=Maynard+Ferguson http://www.amazon.com/Dancing-Sessions-Maynard-Ferguson/dp/B000UZ4GJQ/ref=sr_1_91?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1407627902&sr=1-91&keywords=Maynard+Ferguson That's not quite all of it, but the prime stuff anyway.

Kenny Drew Jr. - "This One's for Bill" (w George Mraz and Al Foster) from

A Canadian group. 5 trombones and 5 rhythm including guitar and vibes. Very good music, recorded in 1980. Rediscovering sessions like this makes me glad I've kept some of my vinyl.

Happy Birthday!!

Not listed on the front cover, but Bill Harris is prominent on Side 3.

Happy Birthday, Tom!

Great article, very detailed. All the Harris information you'll ever need is right there. One of my favorite Harris performances is "Playgirl Stroll" recorded with Billy verPlanck in 1957 (and recorded again with Woody's Anglo-America Herd in 1959).

"Isotope" (Joe Henderson) from
