Our Take

Stan Kenton Live at Brigham Young University is a euphoric whirlwind of big band jazz that'll leave you tapping your toes and hankering for a martini at your favorite speakeasy. From the moment the brass section blares to life on the opening track, you know you're in for a wild ride through the swinging sounds of the 1950s.

Kenton's signature blend of tight arrangements and mind-bending solos is on full display here, with the band effortlessly weaving through complex compositions with the finesse of a seasoned tightrope walker. The energy is infectious, the musicianship unparalleled, and the sheer joy of making music together is palpable in every note.

But it's not all high-flying antics and dizzying displays of virtuosity. Tracks like "Lover Man" and "My Funny Valentine" showcase Kenton's sensitive side, with the band dialing back the bombast to deliver heartfelt, soul-stirring performances that will tug at your heartstrings.

In the grand tradition of live albums, Kenton and his band thrive in the live setting, feeding off the energy of the audience and pushing their performances to new heights. And let's not forget Kenton himself, a larger-than-life bandleader whose charisma shines through on every track, guiding his ensemble with a steady hand and a twinkle in his eye.

So grab a glass, settle in, and let the sumptuous sounds of Stan Kenton Live at Brigham Young University wash over you like a smooth, velvety wave of nostalgia. You won't regret it.
