New Concepts - Stan Kenton

 

Improvisation

Kenton
New Concepts Of Artistry In Rhythm
Capitol Records EBF 383
1953

From the back cover: The intense imagination of Stan Kenton gave pulsing life to Artistry In Rhythm more than ten years ago, and today the freshest and most stimulating ideas of modern music are still in his work – in his New Concepts Of Artistry In Rhythm.

Throughout the ten years of the Kenton Orchestra's life its music has gradually changed – with accumulated knowledge, experimentation and association – to bring the listener an ever fresh approach.

This album discloses even more exciting developments in the orchestra's brilliant sound. Masterful musicians like first trumpeter Buddy Childers, first trombonist Bob Burgess, first saxophonist Vinni Dean, and drummer Stan Levey give it the mark of their personalities; and above all stand the dynamic quality of Stan Kenton, inspiring his orchestra and, indeed, a whole profession – carrying the vibrant message of his music to hosts of eager listeners everywhere.
