Bigband leader and pianist Stanley Newcomb “Stan” Kenton (1911-1979), a progressive and back in the 50’s also a controversial musician, is nowadays looked upon as one of the biggest bandleaders of all time. Already in the 40’s he toured around the world, and he gave his famous Concert in Progressive Jazz in Carnegie Hall. In the early fifties he founded a 43-member orchestra, Innovations in Modern Music, After two tours it seemed financially not possible to continue this project, He also recorded lots of albums, and in 1970 he started to co-operate with the “creative world” label. Kenton is also known for his talent scouting and his “nose” for talent, he worked with big shots like Maynard Ferguson and Stan Getz. The song is recorded on September 17, 1976 at the PWA Hall of the Congress Center (now World Forum) in The Hague, The Netherlands. Watch more World of Jazz videos ► https://goo.gl/Z28cxv Join us.
