CD Reviews

Disappointing tapes

robert munn | 07/10/2001

(2 out of 5 stars)

"This is a four CD set of tapes recorded at various locations over four decades, the 1940s through 70s. It's recommended only for the most ardent Stan Kenton fans, people who have to own everything available. The sound is poor on every CD and the quality of the selections varies considerably, from a slightly stumbling sight-read number, to a colorless "Finlandia," to a rocking "Aquarius," to an inspired and beautiful "Moorea."The packaging is admirable and the intentions of the producers were noble. But this is a collection that on the whole does not display the Kenton band at its best and does not offer much in the way of moving music."

A disappointing waste of money

robert munn | Capital of the World, New York City! | 09/01/2001

(1 out of 5 stars)

"Steer clear of this bootlegged low-quality material.It is a silk purse containing a sow's ear! "Romantic" packaging attempts to hide sub-standard sound quality.Empeethree download from gnutella. This material does little to honor the memory of such a brilliant man, and at the exaggerated price it sells for is outright gouging of the unsuspecting buyer in light of the poor value it offers."
