Our Take

Stan Kenton & His Orchestra take us on a swinging journey back to 1958 with their latest release "One Night Stands." This album is a time machine to an era when big bands ruled the airwaves and jazz was king.

From the moment the first notes of "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" hit your ears, you are transported to a smoky club filled with the sounds of brass and percussion. Kenton's arrangements are tight and energetic, showcasing the incredible skills of his talented band members.

Standout tracks include the lively "Eager Beaver" and the sultry "Intermission Riff," both of which highlight Kenton's innovative approach to big band jazz. The chemistry between the musicians is palpable, with each solo weaving seamlessly into the next.

The album also features a few surprises, including a stunning rendition of "Stella By Starlight" that will leave you speechless. Kenton's bold choices and daring arrangements pay off in spades, creating a truly memorable listening experience.

Overall, "One Night Stands" is a must-listen for jazz aficionados and newcomers alike. Stan Kenton & His Orchestra have proven once again why they are legends in the industry, and this album is further proof of their enduring talent. So sit back, pour yourself a cocktail, and let the music of Stan Kenton transport you to a bygone era of jazz perfection.
