Stan Kenton Los Angeles Neophonic Orchestra - Fanfare

This is a Hugo Montenegro composition, which was the first track on the Neophonic Orchestra album recorded in the mid-60s. A few notes about the mellophone photo: the Neophonic Orchestra actually utilized French horns, but I had to include this photo since I played in the DeAnza college Daddio band with Keith LaMotte (second from left).

I am so grateful for you posting this - I went through a time in my youth (high-school, I think?) that I was almost obsessed with this track on this record - you could look at the record and the first rack was almost gray from playing over and over. Loved the chimes, and the bass sax. Anyway, thanks for the trip down memory lane!

@scutmorgan52 Yay! Glad you liked it! This was one of my favorite cuts on the album. Memory lane -- no kidding!

Happy 100th, Stanley!

Anaheim Kingsmen attempted this in 1969. I have a recording of them performing it at a spring standstill. For the summer show they cut all but the final push, starting at 2:37 of this track.

Beverly Cardinals Drum & Bugle Corps of Beverly MA played this 72-74...awesome tune to march to

A few years ago a high school marching band did a fine version of this--I think the band was from Revere, Massachusetts

Yes, absolutely - talk about obsessed. I wore this album out!
