Listener Reviews & Comments
In 1977, I attended my 3rd MF concert at the Prom Center in St. Paul. Conquistador done live convinced me to expand my own musical horizons, and drove me to become a better ensemble player, but more than that, infused me with the passion to improvise. The entire band filtered into the audience while Maynard and the rhythm section remained onstage, one musician every 20 feet or so, and created an aural vision which to this day blows me away - Mark Colby stood within 6 feet of me and the power and passion he wrung out of his tenor sax during his extended solo absolutely stunned me. I think I forgot to breathe. It may have been Maynard's first appearance in a jump suit, or maybe the first time he showed up with bi-focals, which he joked about self-depracatingly, but the vision did not detract from the power...it elevated his considerable reputation. If you ever doubt Maynard's technical virtuousity, take one of his vinyl albums from the MF Horn to Conquistador era, and play it at 16 rpm, so he sounds like he's playing a trombone...your ear cannot hear it when he plays, but Maynard actually hits and clearly intones more notes per second than you would have thought possible. The Lip is quicker than the Ear. The defining tune at the height of Maynard's Columbia era isn't Theme from Rocky, it is Conquistador. Listen and live the Power of "Boss".
