New Vintage is the tenth studio album by Canadian jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson, released in 1977 on Columbia Records.
After unexpectedly "catching lightning in a bottle" with Conquistador, Columbia and Ferguson were eager to repeat the success.
Taking the same basic ingredients of a big theme song ("Star Wars"), a couple of originals, some guest guitar work (this time provided by Steve Khan), a reworking of a classical theme (in the same vein as Primal Scream's "Pagliacci"), a couple of Bobby Militello flute solos, and looking deep into Maynard's book to revive "Airegin", for a high-energy finale, they hoped to re-create that same magic while Conquistador was still on the charts.
This was also a return to using the touring band as the core of the album's sound, with only a slightly augmented brass section.
AllMusic's Matt Collar summed up how many reviewers felt, calling it "Utterly gimmicky and bereft of any actual jazz..." In 2004, New Vintage was reissued by Wounded Bird Records.
