Backgrounder: Maynard Ferguson - Around the Horn

Recorded in November 1955 and May 1956, Maynard Ferguson's Around the Horn With Maynard Ferguson remains a spectacular album. All 12 tracks were composed and arranged by the late Bill Holman, and the band was top notch. The band featured Ferguson (tp,b-tp,vtb); Buddy Childers and Ray Linn (tp); Bob Burgess (tb); Herb Geller (as); Georgie Auld and Bill Holman (ts); Bud Shank (bs); Lorraine Geller (p); Buddy Clark (b on tracks 1–4) and Ray Brown (b on tracks 5–12); Alvin Stoller (d).
