Our Take

Stan Kenton's "Artistry In Rhythm" is a whirlwind of big band brilliance that promises to sweep you off your feet and straight into the swinging 40s. From the moment the smooth brass section kicks in, you know you're in for a jazzy treat.

Kenton's masterful arrangements are like a musical rollercoaster, taking you on a wild ride of highs and lows, twists and turns, and unexpected surprises at every corner. The precision of the musicians is impeccable, their notes dancing in perfect harmony like a well-choreographed ballet.

Tracks like "Intermission Riff" and "Eager Beaver" showcase Kenton's knack for blending complex harmonies with toe-tapping rhythms, creating a sound that is both sophisticated and undeniably catchy. It's the kind of music that demands your attention, whether you're lounging in a smoky jazz club or cutting a rug on the dance floor.

With "Artistry In Rhythm," Stan Kenton proves once again why he is considered a legend in the world of big band jazz. So grab yourself a martini, slip into your sharpest suit or dress, and let Kenton's swinging tunes transport you to a bygone era of glamour and groove. This album is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado looking to add a touch of class to their music collection. Cheers to that, old chum!
