Artistry in Omega album by Stan Kenton was released Aug 21, 2007 on the Dynaflow label. Dynaflow records presents what are believed to be the very last recordings of Stan Kenton's road band dating from March 6, 1977 through what was literally his last public performance, which took place at Stern Grove in San Francisco on August 20, 1978. Artistry in Omega songs This was a difficult time for Kenton; in May 1977, while lodging at the Abraham Lincoln Motor Inn in Reading, PA, he fell and suffered a concussion that resulted in blood clots and necessitated emergency brain surgery. Artistry in Omega album Always a stubborn and persevering individual, Kenton insisted upon performing with the band again as soon as he was physically able to do so, despite occasional memory lapses and other problems resulting from his injury. On July 2, 1977 he led the band in performance at the Newport Jazz Festival, and continued the exhausting series of one-nighters throughout the U.S. and Canada for another year.

Alpha to Omega
Great to hear the last recorded concert of the greatest performer of modern music. Brought tears to my eyes listening to the last recorded version of Artistry in Rhythm. Loved every moment of the CD

A fine finish to a Kenton Collection.
Artistry in Omega is an album of the final phase of the Kenton Orchestra with Stan at the helm. While Kenton's piano skills are not what they were in his earlier years, the band is a tight and swinging ensemble with the classic Kenton Sound.
