The World of Maynard Ferguson

M.F. Horn is Maynard Ferguson's 2nd album on Columbia records,[1] and the first of his highly successful "M.F. Horn" series of albums. It was also released in Europe as The World of Maynard Ferguson (but with the sides reversed)[2] — not to be confused with the Roulette compilation with the same title.[3] His first record for CBS (The Ballad Style of Maynard Ferguson) was filled with easy listening/pop recordings, but this would be Maynard's first foray into the world of rock music. His recording of "MacArthur Park" would prove very popular with his fans, and would be a concert staple for many years.

Reissues

In 2005, M.F. Horn was reissued by Wounded Bird Records.[4]
