Our Take
Stan Kenton's latest release, "Back to Balboa/Rendezvous with Kenton," is a delightful journey into the world of big band jazz that will leave you tapping your toes and swinging your hips in no time. Kenton, known for his innovative approach to jazz and larger-than-life personality, brings his signature sound to new heights on this album. From the opening track "Intermission Riff," Kenton and his orchestra waste no time in getting your attention with their energetic and dynamic performance. The brass section blares with power, the saxophones wail with emotion, and the rhythm section keeps everything moving along at a brisk pace. It's hard not to get swept up in the sheer exuberance of it all. Tracks like "Artistry in Rhythm" and "Concerto to End All Concertos" showcase Kenton's virtuosity as a bandleader and arranger, with intricate compositions that push the boundaries of traditional big band jazz. The musicianship on display here is truly top-notch, with each member of the orchestra bringing their A-game to the table. But it's not all bombast and bravado on "Back to Balboa/Rendezvous with Kenton." There are moments of quiet introspection and beauty, like on the hauntingly beautiful "Elegy for Alto" and the tender ballad "September Song." Kenton proves that he is a master of nuance as well as grandiosity. Overall, "Back to Balboa/Rendezvous with Kenton" is a must-listen for fans of big band jazz and lovers of music in general. Stan Kenton may be gone, but his legacy lives on in this fantastic album.
