Stan Kenton Today Product Description
Stan Kenton Today by Stan Kenton was released Feb 08, 2005 on the Dutton Vocalion label. This double LP with its lengthy liner notes does not give a complete listing of the personnel of Stan Kenton's 1972 orchestra; an unintentional but ironically understandable omission because Kenton's young band had few original personalities at this point. Stan Kenton Today Other than veteran Willie Maiden (heard here on baritone), the soloists are at best semi-obscure. However, the musicianship is flawless and the repertoire for this Stan Kenton Today set is dominated by old classics including "Malagueña," "Intermission Riff," "Interlude," "Artistry in Percussion" and naturally, "The Peanut Vendor." Fans of college stage bands should enjoy this spirited music. Stan Kenton Today ~ Scott Yanow Originally released on Decca.

| Live in London I bought the LP when it first came out in the 70's and considered it one of my favorite Stan Kenton albums and I have over 40 in my collection. I'm only buying this CD as a backup as I don't know how long my record player will last and if they even sell turntables anymore. This album is a must for Kenton lovers as it incorporates the best of the old and the new and the soul of Kenton's music. By phtelec (Salt Lake City, Utah)  |
| EXCELLENT nothing compares with the live concerts,disciplined energy,wonderful piano solos,a great recording By AL (Carthage,NC,USA) |
| Kenton at his best If I were to select a handful of recordings for a dessert island, this superb (1973) recording of the Kenton Band would certainly be among them. The band was in top form --swinging, exquisite, sharp-- and the English audience lapped it up with repeated sustained applause and cheering, to which the band responded in high style. If anyone ever tells you that the Kenton band didn't swing, have them listen to Bogata or Chiapus or Intermission Riff on this CD. And Kenton's rendition of his theme, Artistry in Rhythm, is alone worth the price of the recording. Never did the band play it so lovingly or movingly as before this fantasically appreciative audience, whose response to the concert was so positive and heartfelt that Stan promised them, right there and then, that he'd be back next year--which promise he fulfilled. Don't miss this one, folks. It belongs in the best annals of jazz recording and you'll find yourself playing it over and over. By Wayne Eyre (Saskatoon, SK. Canada)  |
