Kenton's orchestra was definitely ahead of its time. Amazing arrangements, and ridiculously wide voicings. A real, shame that these bands are almost all gone now.
This is great but you should hear his work with the extraordinary John Von Ohlen/Steve Allee big band! Seek out out this side: Downtown Blues, John Von Ohlen - Chuck Carter - Steve Allee Big Bands (originally released as 'Live' on a private label), SeaBreeze Jazz SB-2095. The CD is killer!
Very good !
