Customer Reviews:

Pure Kenton.......2007-01-03

A cross between big band and jazz at it's finest. This wil put you in the mood, no matter what your mood is. From the period before he went a little over the top. A must for every Kenton lover.

The Romantic Approach/Sophisticated Approach.......2006-07-27

I have literally loved Stanley Newcomb Kenton's music since I was a kid. I had "lost touch" over the years and decided to rebuild my Kenton collection when I saw all of the CDs you had available. I am thoroughly delighted with this album as well as the other three I purchased (Kenton in Hi FI, The Stagedoor Swings, and Cuban Fire). Thank you.
