In 1955 with Mel Lewis on drums and Bill Holman as chief arranger, the Stan Kenton Orchestra swung harder that it ever had or would again. TO celebrate the high caliber of jazz in the band, Kenton booked a Chicago studio in July to document Holman's charts and the great solo work of Charlie Mariano, Bill Perkins, Sam Noto and Carl Fontana.
The aptly named Contemporary Concept, which also included Gerry Mulligan's Limelight is the result. Added to the original album are two more tracks from the session, Stan Kenton's Sunset Tower and Gene Roland's Opus In Chartreuse as well as two more Roland opuses. This milestone in Kenton's recording career is on CD for the first time.
Includes liner notes by Michael Sparke
This is one of the less important Stan Kenton LP reissues on Creative World. Six veteran standards (all arranged by Bill Holman) and Gerry Mulligan's "Limelight" (with a chart from its composer) were adapted for the 1955 Stan Kenton Orchestra; all but "Limelight" are currently available on CD. The music swings well (with drummer Mel Lewis pushing the rhythm section) and such talented soloists as altoists Charlie Mariano and Lennie Niehaus, tenor-saxophonist Bill Perkins, trombonist Carl Fontana and trumpeters Sam Noto and Stu Williamson are well-featured. Nothing all that innovative occurs but this accessible set should be of interest to fans of bop (in addition to Kenton's loyal audience) who do not already have the music on CD.
