Brass jazz that combines explosive energy and sophistication.
This work by Maynard Ferguson, a master of the high-note trumpet, is produced by Bob James and combines a fusion approach with dynamic arrangements.
The powerful high notes of the trumpet explode, conveying the primal energy of the title. "Pagliacci" and "The Cheshire Cat Walk" blend elements of funk and jazz, highlighting Bob James's sophisticated production. The interplay between electric piano and horns adds depth to this work, capturing the energy of '70s fusion. Ferguson's overwhelming stamina and brilliance of sound captivate the listener, expanding the possibilities of big band jazz.
