Our Take

A jolly good day to all you cool cats and kittens, today we have a hoot and a holler of an album to review - the one and only Stan Kenton and His Orchestra's Concerts In Miniature Vol. 14. Now, let me tell you, this album is like a smashing cup of Earl Grey tea with a dash of eccentricity.

From the moment you press play, you are transported to a swanky jazz club in the heart of London, where Stan Kenton himself is conducting the most fabulously quirky orchestra you've ever heard. The brass section blares with gusto, the drums keep the beat with military precision, and the strings add a touch of class that is simply delicious.

The album kicks off with the toe-tapping "Artistry in Rhythm", a tune that will have you swinging and swaying in no time. Kenton's bold and fearless arrangements are a breath of fresh air in a world of timid imitators.

But don't be fooled by the cheeky charm of tracks like "Intermission Riff" and "Eager Beaver" - there's a depth and sophistication to Kenton's music that elevates it to a level all its own. This is music that demands your attention, and once it has it, you won't want to let go.

In conclusion, Stan Kenton and His Orchestra's Concerts In Miniature Vol. 14 is a whimsical romp through the wild world of jazz that will leave you grinning from ear to ear. So go on, pour yourself a spot of tea, put on your dancing shoes, and get ready for a jolly good time with this marvellous album. Cheers!
