ISSUE 66: STAN KENTON

The Magazine
One of the most distinctive, and sometimes challenging, new sounds of the 1940s was the 'progressive jazz' of Stan Kenton. His power-packed big bands featured the work of forward-thinking arrangers and encouraged brilliant young talents such as Stan Getz and Art Pepper.

The Music
The grand sweep of Kenton's design is illustrated by key works of the 1940s, such as 'Intermission Riff', 'Artistry Jumps', 'Tampico' and 'Painted Rhythm'. Also included are the advanced scoring of 'Thermopolae' and the two-part 'Concerto To End All Concertos'.
