• Track Listing

Kenton’s ’70s bands remain wrongly overlooked; disc one here should undo that mistake as you hear four editions of his ’70s orchestra do September Song; A Foggy Day; Rhapsody in Blue; Yesterday; Here’s That Rainy Day; Girl Talk, and more unissued performances—some hot, some cool, all exceptional. Songs written for Kenton but never recorded ’til now make their long-awaited debut on disc two, played with panache by the UWEC Jazz Ensemble: The Swing Machine; Stillness Runs Deep; North Wind; West Wind, and more!
