	Stan Kenton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stan Kenton was born in Wichita, Kansas, and raised first in Colorado and then in California.
		Kenton's musical aggregations were decidedly "orchestras." Sometimes consisting of two dozen or more musicians at once, they produced an unmistakable Kenton sound--as recognizable as that of the bands of Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, or Count Basie.
		A Kenton specialty was Afro-Cuban rhythm, as exported to North America by such bandleaders as Machito (whose brass and reed sound, in turn, began to show the influence of Kenton).

	HyperMusic -- History of Jazz: Stan Kenton
		Pianist and arranger Stan Kenton was the leader of a succession of different big bands, beginning with his Artistry in Rhythm Orchestra in 1941 during the big band boom.
		Kenton was also one of the groundbreakers in jazz education and fostered jazz studies on many university campuses.
		Kenton used a number of Latin American percussionists in his big band from the 1950's-1970's, thus incorporating Latin American drums and rhythms as a distinctive part of his band's sound.

	Stan Kenton - The Kenton Story
		Stan remembers this period as a time of "growing pains," and critics recall that the era was the only time that the young leader allowed his convictions to be swayed by the pleas of promoters and his record company.
		Stan told a story of the weeks when Konitz and Parker were both travelling with the band, and from the comparison and contrast in their playing Kenton believes that Konitz had more to say to him.
		Stan feels that in an age in which everything is moving so fast and in which the complex forms of yesterday become the basic tools of today, tomorrow must have a music which is supercharged with the vitality of the most ambitious composers.

		Stanley Newcomb Kenton was born in Wichita, Kansas, on
		Indeed, Kenton is so well known for his alumni and for the arrangers who wrote for the band that it's often forgotten that his own compositions and arrangements were the cornerstone on which all his arrangers built.
		As always, Stan was seeking out new talent, most notably Hank Levy, who had written for Don Ellis, and Alan Yankee, though some of us treasure the charts that long-time Kenton arrangers Dee Barton, Willie Maiden, Bill Holman, and Ken Hanna wrote for this band.

	Stan Kenton
		Instead, Kenton is now recognized as an innovator who remained amazingly open and supportive of a wide variety of performers, arrangers, composers, and styles, and one of the main reasons big band music survived the 1960s and 1970s.
		Kenton had to fold the group in 1947 when he suffered from a brief illness, and he stayed off the road until 1950.
		Kenton was never one to take the safe road to success if it didn't suit his musical drive, though, and the very next thing he tackled was a country-Western album with the venerable Tex Ritter (with Alvino Rey sitting in to provide the right touch with his console steel guitar)!

	Stan Kenton Orchestra music is available from Southern Music Company.
		Although written for Stan Kenton (the mid-1950s), the chart never was recorded by the band (Holman doesn't know why), and it was "lost" for years.
		When Lennie arranged for the Stan Kenton Orchestra, he was able to capture the Kenton sound without a lot of high-range problems or difficult concerns for the players.
		Stan had a very definite style of arranging which, of course, was the basis of most of the music for his early bands.

	The Stan Kenton Legacy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Sixty years ago, Stan Kenton put the musical world on notice that he was going to add his signature sound to American popular music, and pop/jazz fans have been rabidly divided on his merits, akin to the Tories and Loyalists.
		If the Kenton orchestra was his child, then the success of his grandchildren, and their influence on the jazz world is a testimony to the vision of the controversial, but never compromising leader.
		Kenton took the criticism because he followed his vision, and the musicians he’s left us in his wake have made the jazz world a better place.

	Stan Kenton - Innovations In Modern Music
		Kenton fell in love with Pete’s writing for strings with a big band, and it was after this that the idea for Innovations began to germinate.
		Kenton chose his composers with care, and to be truthful, many charts did not survive their first rehearsal.
		Stan was forced to re-form with a touring dance band to recoup some of his losses, but against all advice, determined to keep faith with his fans (and perhaps himself) with a second Innovations tour, though this was deferred until the Fall of 1951.

	The History of Jazz Music. Stan Kenton: biography, discography, review, links
		Kenton's strings were almost an insult to the "sweet" string orchestras of the time: they sounded like an army of aliens.
		Kenton's ambitions were matched by Bob Graettinger, who composed for him the six-movement suite This Modern World (1953), and the four-movement expressionist, dissonant suite City Of Glass (1948), that, greatly revised, became the source for Kenton's album City of Glass (1951).
		Kenton's New Concepts Of Artistry In Rhythm Orchestra of 1952, that recorded New Concepts Of Artistry In Rhythm Orchestra (september 1952) and Kenton Showcase (1953), was a smaller entity formed with Russo that featured saxophonists Gerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz, Bill Holman and Zoot Sims.

		OK, Terry Vosbein's website isn't a big band site, but he's a distinguished Kenton scholar who year after year has helped composers and arrangers understand the Kenton legacy, and I happen to love his original compositions, many of which are available for download in MP3 and score on that website.

		That was still in the future as Stan, Anita and the orchestra set out on a wide-ranging tour of the United States, pausing briefly in New York City to record "Gotta Be Gettin'", a song written by Morey Amsterdam which had been part of Anita's act on her tour as a single.

		In 1963 Stan added a section of mellophoniums (a sort of hybrid, bell-front french horn with pistons, that he and G.C.Conn in Elkhart, Indiana, co-invented) to the band.
		Since a 14-piece brass section was bigger than a lot of road bands' total number of musicians, the economics of it only allowed Stan to keep it for a little more than a year, but it was the most-recorded edition of the Kenton band.
		I know of no other Kenton album that soars so high, engulphs so warmly, and drives so hard and so fully as this "Adventures In Jazz" album.
