From the back cover: Since long before Stan Kenton undertook his present "Adventures In" series of albums, from the earliest Kenton days in fact, Stan's music has always been characterized by trailblazing adventurousness and creativity. A Kenton history is a history of modern musical research, innovation and discovery, and it is studded with the names of brilliant creative talents who have joined him, learned from him, and made their own striking new contributions to music along the way.

In this album Stan introduces a sinewy new work for orchestra commissioned from a longtime associate, distinguished jazz composer-arranger Johnny Richards. "Adventures In Time, a Concerto For Orchestra" is a synthesis of eight original compositions by Richards that utilize the full resources of the Kenton musical organization. With this work Richards once again demonstrates his flair for creating exciting and ingeniously constructed rhythm patterns – the same great gift that helps make "Kenton's West Side Story" a sensational bestseller and winner of the National Academy Of Recording Arts And Sciences award in 1962. Here he employs unusual time signatures in a startling work that forcefully reaffirms the towering importance of the Kenton Orchestra as a seeker of new and challenging musical horizons.
