Maynard was shrewd, and Maynard was quick, and he managed to beat almost everyone to the punch —
sorry — when he recorded the theme from Rocky and watched it rise to number 28 on the pop charts. As
blatant as Ferguson's rendition is, it was still the best rendition of the Bill Conti tune at the time (a lot better
than the composer's own number one version) — and Maynard Ferguson's heroic propensity for high notes
and his underdog status as a hitmaker make it easy to link him with his celluloid counterpart. It is also the
best track on an otherwise overloaded Jay Chattaway production, where the combination of the chrome-plated
Chattaway hand and list of noted supporting players (George Benson, Joe Farrell, Bob James, the young Jon
Faddis, Julian Priester, Harvey Mason, etc.) nearly overwhelms the Ferguson big band and even Ferguson
himself. The title track has a certain flamboyant grandeur emanating both from Ferguson and the electronic
brigade that dominates the tune, yet Benson's fluid cameo and Ferguson's obbligatos are wasted by the
irritating female voices on "Mister Mellow." This record gave Maynard Ferguson the largest amount of
exposure that he ever had; the Faustian tradeoff is that it often sounds gimmicky today.
