Synopsis

Album Description
One of the great cult figures in the history of jazz, Stan Kenton provided his orchestra as a vehicle for brilliant, adventurous arrangers, and his highly original music gained him a devoted following. Kenton?s big band provided the progressive jazz of the 1940s as he mixed vocals and dance numbers with the cutting edge music that most interested him. His big band, larger in number than most on the scene, stood apart from both the swing and the bebop eras, with less emphasis on swinging than on dense harmonies. On this remarkable collection, hear the cuts that most defined Kenton?s unique sound, gathered together on a single CD for the very first time, with remastered sound, detailed notes by Scott Yanow and rare historic photos.
