Our Take

Stan Kenton's latest album, "7.5 On The Richter Scale," is a seismic shift in the world of jazz. From the moment the first track hits your ears, you know you're in for a wild ride. The cosmic energy of the brass section is enough to make you want to grab your dancing shoes and start grooving.

Kenton's bold compositions and daring arrangements are like nothing we've heard before. He effortlessly blends traditional big band sounds with avant-garde jazz, creating a sound that is both familiar and completely original. Tracks like "Tectonic Tango" and "Quake City Boogie" will have you shaking in your seat, eager for more.

The dynamic interplay between the horns and the rhythm section is a sight to behold. Each musician brings their A-game to the table, creating a cacophony of sound that somehow manages to be harmonious. Kenton's vision is clear, his execution flawless.

But don't be fooled by the earthquake theme of the album - this is music that will lift you up, not bring you down. Tracks like "Aftershock Serenade" and "Funky Fault Line" are pure joy, guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Overall, "7.5 On The Richter Scale" is a triumph for Stan Kenton and his band. They have proven once again that they are at the top of their game, pushing boundaries and challenging conventions. This is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado - just make sure to secure your furniture before you press play.
