CD Reviews

Kenton at Arcadia Theatre review
John Tapscott | Canada | 04/29/2001
(1 out of 5 stars)

"On Oct. 20, 1974 the Kenton band did not have one of its best nights. The band's performance does not sound especially inspired, but then who can really tell? The sound quality is so poor. The whole thing sounds like it was recorded with 2 microphones - one set between the bass and piano and another for the soloists (who can generally be heard quite well). But the mix is dominated by bass and piano. At times the saxophone section is almost lost completely and you never hear the brass section come in with its legendary power. It's a frustrating listening experience. Not recommended. Spend your money instead on the many superb Kenton recordings available."
