"These are the original recordings of the Kenton Innovations Orchestra of 1951-51, beautifully presented on CD. A classic in its time, the double album still thrills. Arrangements are by Pete Rugolo, Shorty Rogers, Laurendo Almedia, and others. The band includes Maynard Ferguson, Bud Shank, Art Pepper, Shelly Manne, and Bob Cooper. Vocals are by June Christy, in her prime.No jazz library is complete without this. Kenton fans: Buy it before it's gone."
