Maynard Ferguson — Chameleon
The first “jazz” album I purchased. If I am remembering correctly, sometime in 1976 I walked into the Hutchinson, KS high school band room for rehearsal and band director Tom McSwain was playing this album on the stereo.
High, fast and loud! I was hooked.
For you trombone geeks, this (from Wikipedia): Jerry Johnson played all bass trombone parts using "false-pedaltones" on a 2B!
