Product Description

One of the most controversial musicians in jazz during his lifetime, bandleader Stan Kenton (1911-1979) has become something of a cult figure, and is now justly considered as one of the men who renovated the big-band idiom during the forties and fifties.T

Customer Reviews

Swing Era, Stan Kenton3
I didn't realize that these were various films instead of a concert. However, I was pleased with this 40's material containing tracks from Charlie Barnet and Les Brown also.

Hard to come by material this old.

where's Dizzy4
An essential archive with Kenton, Les Brown, Charlie Barnet and June Christie but unfortunately, no Dizzy!

Not what I expected2
This DVD was purchased by a Kenton fan. Kenton's band was intertwined with a short subject, thereby reducing the full effect of this orchestra. The inclusion of other big bands mimimized Kenton's exposure to a fraction of this DVD.
