This concert features classic standards and arrangements by one of Jazz’s most prominent bandleaders, Stan Kenton. Kenton was an accomplished pianist, composer, arranger and band leader of one of the most innovative and influential jazz orchestras for nearly four decades. Kenton's music was always progressive, leading to the subgenre of “progressive jazz.”
