Si! Si! M.F.


Si! Si! M.F. is an album released by jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson featuring tracks recorded in early 1962 and originally released on the Roulette label.

Reception

AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "the boppish performances feature such soloists as altoist Lanny Morgan, the tenors of Willie Maiden and Don Menza and pianist Mike Abene. The arrangements took advantage of the band's many strengths and the result is a solid set of swinging music". The Penguin Guide to Jazz picked the arrangement of "Mimi" as a highlight and the playing on "Morgan's Organ" as the best on the album.
