Chameleon/Conquistador/Hot

Digitally remastered two CD set containing three Maynard Ferguson albums dating from 1974, 1977 and 1978, originally released on Columbia. Conquistador featured 'Gonna Fly Now (Theme from "Rocky")' which was a US Top 30 hit, and the album spent 26 weeks on the Billboard album chart. Hot was also a Top 20 album. With Bob James producing, Ferguson's 70s albums were extremely commercially successful, no mean feat for a jazz trumpeter.
