Picture Perfect Chris Connor And Maynard Ferguson

"This is a duo with the number one horn player of the twentieth century Maynard Ferguson and Big Band singer Chris Connor. Maynard's status is obviously much higher than Chris's although Chris is so beautiful in her own realm or domain that we tend to overlook the facts surrounding the legacy of Maynard. One must give this album 5 stars just because.... Maynard is becoming such a collectible based on his greatness. He's still touring at age 75!!!!!! Every trumpet player knows of his greatness. A five star or I should say 10 star performer the last 50+ years. Maynard rules the world on trumpet always and forever. This album is a must in every sense of the word. Bill Hocking"
Great stuff from two great performers

"While the tune selection dates the album - 'Summertime', 'I only have eyes for you' and 'Lonesome Road' were never among my favourites or mayhap they got worn out from OVER exposure - several items are gems. 'It never entered my mind', 'Spring can really hang you up the most' and 'Banana tree' are my faves. Ferguson lets Connor sing and his excursions into the stratosphere are timely and apt. The band never over-shadows that warm dusky voice but everyone seems to be having a good time. I did. And will again and again."
Double Exposure

"As I had only the old vinyl copy of this superb album and it was somewhat battered from playing, it was a joy to find that it was available on CD.What can you say about an album featuring two such great artistes as Maynard and Chris.The chemistry is evident from the start. It would be useful to know whether there is another album featuring the two of them?"
