From the back cover: Through his unique instrumentation and inspired arrangements, he has not only freed jazz from the strict tempos and traditional restrictions of the dance hall, but has actually succeed in creating whole new rhythms and sounds in music. His fabulously successful concert tours from Carnegie Hall to The Hollywood Bowl have given hundreds of thousands the pleasure and thrill of discovering Kenton's "progressive jazz" at first hand.
