Stan is showing the result of his years of his touring and his hard life but what a great talent !!! Bergman lyrics and some great arrangements. A rather sad life that he led. One of the real troupers. So sad that he is gone. Rich, rich arrangements, creative, and artistry !!

Must have been recorded during the Kenton European tour of September 1973. That's when John Park, Kim Park and mary fettig were all in the band.

Thanks for thisgreat video. Any more from this concert?

@woosailor You're correct. Kenton knew how to recognize talent and he gave a lot a great musicians a chance to really fly! The first time I saw/heard him at Ford Ord Soldier's Club in the 1950s I was hugely impressed and have followed his music and collected his records. He was a real band leader.

great rendition. John Parks on the alto solo, and his future daughter-in-law Mary Fettig on tenor in the section

true enough music business was brutal is brutal.

My father's dream was to play 1st chair Trombone in Kenton's band.

Didn't happen, Although he had a 4 trombone group in Dayton Ohio

for years. Played at Kenkels' if anyone knew of that place.

Anyway he is dead and i was exposed to this music as far back as I can remember

I heard all this in the late sixties Awesome Stuff!!!!

@AgainstConsistence If that was so, then how did he have children? He had at least one daughter and one son.

Stan Kenton asked me to open the door at a concert, at a small college town in Pa. Way back in the 50's. Saw hime years later at a concert in Niagara Falls.. But his music remains forever in my mind. Too many Stan Kenton memories.!

what a wonderful version of of my favorites tunes from Michel Legrand, Stan Kenton was a master i love his way to play the classics and his own compositions.

I heard Stan Kenton was a castrato.
