The Essence of Maynard Ferguson is the third compilation album by Canadian jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson on Columbia Records. It was released in 1993 as part of Columbia/Legacy's budget line I Like Jazz series (often sporting Sony's "Nice Price" stickers at retail). At the time of its release, this was the only Compact disc available containing many of Maynard's recordings for Columbia.
