M.F. Horn 3 (stylized M.F. Horn|3[1]) is an album by Canadian jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson.[2] After Ferguson moved from England to the U.S. in 1973, his band changed, as British members were replaced by American musicians, primarily from colleges.

AllMusic | [3] |
The third installment in the "M.F. Horn" series features some of Ferguson's first experiments with funk in a big band setting, which excited some and confused others.[according to whom?] As one reviewer said, "the music on this album is an exciting reminder of just how diverse the music scene really was during the early to mid-'70s, even if pigeonholers didn't yet have a controllable category for some of the sounds that were in the air at that time."[3]
Reissues
In 2007, M.F. Horn 3 was reissued by Wounded Bird Records.[4]
