Blues For Kapp

Composed and arranged by Marty Paich



Composed and arranged by the great Marty Paich, our version of Blues For Kapp appears on Maynard Ferguson's 1961 album Maynard '61 (Roulette 52064). (This is a great album.) On later Maynard albums (Roulette 52075) it appeared as Coldwater Canyon Blues (its original title). Our copy of the score come from Sierra Music.

The lineup for this track is stellar: Maynard Ferguson (tp, tb, Fr h), Chet Ferretti, Rolf Ericson, Bill Berry (tp), Ray Winslow, Kenny Rupp (tb), Lanny Morgan (as, fl), Joe Farrell (ts, ss, fl), Willie Maiden (ts, fl), Frank Hittner (bari, b cl), Jaki Byard (p, celeste), Charlie Sanders (b), Rufus Jones (d)

Recorded NYC January 20, 1961

Who was "Kapp"? Maybe it was David Kapp of Kapp Records (or just the label itself), for whom Marty recorded Coldwater Canyon Blues back in October 1956.
