Maynard Ferguson-"I Love You"

Here's Maynard Ferguson from 2004 with a hot arrangement of Cole Porter's "I Love You". Good thing Cole's executors never heard this, or they might've sued, as the lawyers running Jerome Kern's estate threatened to do over the Charlie Barnet and Maynard wild treatment of "All the Things You Are", from 1949 (!).

In any case, this is MF very late in the game-his legendary chops are nowhere near what they'd been, and this is a band that's too small to really be a big band, but definitely isn't a small group...and yet this works, mostly because the quality of the writing (in this case, the chart's by Grammy nominee Steve Weist) and  playing are both so high.
