Stan Kenton "The Peanut Vendor" & "Broadcasts Transcriptions (1941-1945)"

Description: Stan Kenton: Stan Kenton (born Feb. 19, 1912, Wichita, Kan., U.S.—died Aug. 25, 1979, Los Angeles) was an American jazz bandleader, pianist, and composer who commissioned and promoted the works of many modern composer-arrangers and thrust formal education and big-band jazz together into what became the stage (or concert) band movement of the 1960s and ’70s, involving thousands of high school and college musicians. Kenton began writing music in his teens, was a pianist and arranger for dance bands in the 1930s, and was influenced by Earl Hines as a pianist and by Claude Thornhill and Benny Carter as an arranger. Kenton formed his own band in 1940 and continued forming bands and touring almost until his death. Much of Kenton’s music is more like nonswing 20th-century concert music than jazz or dance music, especially the serious works of Robert Graettinger (“City of Glass”), Johnny Richards (“Cuban Fire”), and Russ Garcia (“Adventures in Emotions”) and pieces by Bill Holman, Bill Russo, and others. Kenton also featured outstanding jazz improvisers, including saxophonists Lee Konitz and Art Pepper, trumpeter Conte Candoli, and trombonist Frank Rosolino, but the emphasis was less on improvisation than on elaborate arrangements, often employing instruments uncommon to earlier jazz such as bass saxophone, tuba, French horn, strings, and mellophonium (a trumpet–French horn hybrid commissioned by Kenton). He also showed a keen interest in Latin-American music and often used a Latin percussionist. The most typical band sound involved high, loud, block-voiced trumpet playing, with five- and six-note chords, and open-voiced trombone-section harmonies. Saxophone passages written in sixteenth notes were also a Kenton trademark, as was his use of the full range of loudness levels that could be extracted from a band. Kenton was responsible for the “progressive jazz” label that some mistake for all modern jazz and some use to identify all Kenton-linked jazz. Some critics place his music in the “cool jazz” category and, being based in California, many of his players—including Shorty Rogers, Bill Perkins, and Shelly Manne—were identified with West Coast jazz, a subcategory of cool jazz. From 1970 Kenton ran his own combination record company, publishing house, and promotional network, called Creative World. His best-known composition is “Artistry in Rhythm,” the band’s theme. Among his most popular recordings are “Intermission Riff,” “Eager Beaver,” and “Peanut Vendor.” Stan Kenton – The Peanut VendorGenre:JazzStyle:Year:1991Track list:Artistry In Rhythm4:01Limehouse Blues4:01Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea4:35Fitz3:54The Peanut Vendor3:52Mission Trail3:20Mellophobia4:00Siesta3:38Reubens Blues4:17Night At The Golden Nugget Stan Kenton – Broadcast Transcriptions 1941-1945 Label:Music & Arts – CD 883Format:CD, CompilationCountry:USReleased:1995Genre:JazzStyle:Big BandTrack list:1Opening Theme: Artistry In Rhythm1:212La Cumparsita2:033Two Guitars1:494Reed Rapture2:255Harlem Folk Dance2:016Deep River3:077Smoky1:388El Chocio3:229Tempo Di Joe2:4710Etude For Saxophones2:1311Blues In Asia Minor1:4412Arkansas Traveler2:1813Closing Theme: Artistry In Rhythm0:4514Eager Beaver2:5715Ride OnVocals – Anita O'DayVocals – Anita O'Day2:2216Russian Lullaby2:1417Special DeliveryVocals – Anita O'DayVocals – Anita O'Day2:2018Tico Tico (Dec. 1944)2:0619Clair De Lune3:1920And Her Tears Flowed Like WineVocals – Anita O'DayVocals – Anita O'Day2:5021More Than You Know2:3822Tabby The CatVocals – Anita O'DayVocals – Anita O'Day2:3223Painted Rhythm2:4024Moon SongVocals – Gene HowardVocals – Gene Howard3:5125Pizzicato (Dec. 1944)2:2226Mad For A PadVocals – Anita O'DayVocals – Anita O'Day2:5827Number Seven2:3128Build It Up And Tear It DownVocals – Anita O'DayVocals – Anita O'Day3:1529Sergeant Mess (Dec. 1944)3:3230Aritstry In Rhythm3:12Companies, etc.Phonographic Copyright ℗ – Music And Arts Programs Of America, Inc.NotesOn back cover: Tracks 1-13 recorded Aug - Sept 1941, Hollywood: individual tracks to be broadcast by local radio stations in any desired sequence as "Stan Kenton's 'Artistry in Rhythm'".Barcode and Other IdentifiersBarcode (Text): 0 1768508832 8 3:50
