My father ran a 17 piece big band called the Sentimental 17. He would put the band together for a gig with various professional musicians who either just wanted to play or wanted the extra "bread". Danny Stiles, Billy Watrous, Eddie Bert, Gary Wofsey and other phenomenal artist played with the band over the years. This chart is exactly the arrangement the band used with my father on bari sax, playing that low bassy riff through out. His favorite band (and mine) was and is the Stan Kenton Band.
@bbperis335 I feel you people who were so blessed to be so close to these great musicians should write books of the personal their lives. It would give us followers an insight of what inspired them to immortality
The longer recorded version just gets my temperature soaring. Turn it up! What a wonderful band. It's really never got any better than Kenton at his many peaks.
i have this cd according to the liner notations kenton brought maynard to play screech which he does vido was supposedly there to play solo only of course he doesnt then theres fontana 5 of the most amazing choruses ever done on this tune
Stan Kenton recorded this tune in the LP "Kenton in Hi Fi" by Capitol records. Mel Lewis was the drummer at that time and Carl Fontana, played a wonderful solo. I'm not sure it's available en CD. It should be since it was a fine exemple of swing by this band
Happy 100th, Stanley!

Kenton - forever. Despite this battlehorse lacks some solos. But great anyway!

Frank Rosolino sure isn't in this band. We was out with his own quartet. The only bone player I recognize here is Bob Burgess, in the middle.
