I agree with gasiraz. I like the older KENTON bands and they dressed like PROFESSIONALS. I am so glad these are the bands I saw and enjoyed so much. I like ALL KENTON, but, I like these bands best.

It was a fantastic driving sound. One that made my mother yell time and again..TURN THAT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kenton produced so much good music during many years. I specially enjoyed the 1950-54 band. He had arrangers like Bill Russo and Bill Holman and players like Frank Rosolino, Buddy Childers, Stan Levy, George Roberts, Bob Burgess, Lee Konitz, Conte Candoli, It was a wonderful jazz band the best I've ever heard. I still have and listen almost everything he recorded.. Very outstanding musician!!!

Thank you so much for having so many videos of my Great-Uncle Stan! Our family is very grateful! :)

A lot of fans don't know that this is really the theme from "Gone with the Wind." That's why the title is "Southern Scandal"

Remarkable.... simply remarkable. It has been years since a single tune has kept me awake at night, as this one has... thinking of a heavenly concert with this master and Woody Herman..... thanks so much for the posting.

Great arrangement, stinging interpretation, this is great big band music!!!!!!! Thanks for the posting. (Also, I've never heard this tune before, so this was especially nice). Thanks!!!
