Stan Kenton And His Orchestra - A Presentation Of Progressive Jazz

Review by ONESEVEN ENTERTAINMENT

A Presentation of Progressive Jazz by Stan Kenton and His Orchestra is a timeless masterpiece that showcases the evolution of jazz music in the mid-20th century. The album, released in 1955, features innovative arrangements and bold musical experimentation that pushed the boundaries of the genre.

The album opens with "Artistry in Rhythm," a dynamic composition that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track features intricate harmonies, complex rhythms, and a wide range of instruments, including brass, woodwinds, and percussion. The result is a stunning display of Kenton's musical genius and his ability to bring together disparate elements into a cohesive whole.

Throughout the album, Kenton and his orchestra explore various jazz sub-genres, from Latin-infused rhythms in "La Suerte de los Tontos" to the avant-garde stylings of "Interlude." Each track is a unique and captivating listening experience, showcasing the individual talents of the musicians while highlighting Kenton's masterful direction.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Eager Beaver," a lively and upbeat tune that features a playful call-and-response between the horns and the rhythm section. The track is a perfect example of Kenton's ability to blend traditional jazz elements with modern sensibilities, resulting in a sound that was both innovative and accessible.

This piece perhaps even more than some of the other Kenton/Christy tunes from 1947 indicates that in jazz and popular music something had changed radically. There is no 'love-above' and 'you-true' to be found in the Audrey Lacey lyric (Then a young college student, and an acquaintance of Stan) but rather: 'Thin crystal sheets of hysterical laughter' or 'I can not bear the thing I hear!!'

World War II was over just two years and now there was appearently a need for something else than slik entertainment.

The last part of this song, after the ferocious climax, is relatively quiet but incredibly eerie........

not a vinyl rip.

Heard this the first time on my way home one dark Sunday night, it was played on the "jazz show" of my local public radio station. It took several days to even find out the title and performer, several more to find this video. I now have the lp and listen to it fairly often, I cannot get enough of this track (the rest of the album is pretty good too).

livbem

way ahead of its time ... or perhaps outside of its time

I can't thank you enough for posting this album! I've been looking for the entire album, and particularly this cut, for years, with no luck -- and here it is!!! A great way to start my day, with the inimitable Stan Kenton and June Christy. Thank you, thank you!

renaudaulit

thats some satanic shit

frankkosir

Never been able to source this LP in the UK. Only heard the tracks on AFN Radio.

I've loved this track ever since discovering the old 78 RPM copy in my parent's den back in the 70's. Thanks for posting it, and great job on the transfer -- almost tastes like the original :)

luisvam

Sounds like long hours on the tour bus/train ??

Exquisite! Stan Kenton at his finest! I grew up with his music, and continue to be amazed at his artistry.

jeremyrdallas190917

A true Stan Kenton sound!!!

jebpages

Pete RUGOLO and Bob GRAETINGER are HUGE in their DEFINITION of THIRD STREAM MUSIC and the ROOTS of COOL....for Gil Evans, Miles Davis and Modern Jazz Quartet/John Lewis-Gunther Schuller. This is the definition of The SOUND WORLD of an entire generation of COMPOSERS

Thanks. :)
No secret - just care in the transfer. ;)

This is neat! Kenton's never was my favorite band, swing or otherwise -- then again, I don't think his artistic aspiration was to have a really swingin' band. This is music for listening -- sounds like a sountrack for a crime pic or noir -- and also, you could say, the kind of thing that ended the Swing Era. Of, course, this was progress; much as I love genuine swing, of the '35-'42 period, I know they couldn't keep on with that sound. This was an attempt to expand the limits of pop music.
