"For a serious Kenton fan, this is a must. This is where "Progressive Jazz" began. Personnel on this CD include Jazz greats Bob Cooper, Art Pepper, Bud Shank Conte Condoli, Bill Russo, Shelly Manne and a host of other classic Kenton Band members, including a young trumpet player from Canada named Maynard Ferguson.

Because of the date of the recordings, thay are all in Mono but nontheless a piece of History. Also included is what Kenton called their venture into "highly experimental" music . (City of glass suite)

This indeed was the "Kenton Era""

Stan Kenton would never allow this

"This was a recording at a university event. One microphone was used! Imagine trying to record the Stan Kenton orchestra (with strings!) with one microphone. Recordfing quality is terrible! Don't waste your money."
