4.0 out of 5 stars A Splendid Showcase, November 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Fire, Fury and Fun (Audio CD)

I bought this cd and somehow it fell into neglect for quite some time. One day I pulled it out and haven't put it back since. It's a marvelous cd, not as good as some of the other exceptional work done by Kenton and his orchestra, but a great one nonetheless. Features a variety of members from the band with some surprises along the way. My personal favorite chart of this album is "Montage." It's not everybody you come across a tune so well written AND so well played. If you're a Kenton fan, you owe this album a chance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kenton kicks butt!, July 24, 2001

Terrific CD! A little different from Kenton's "Artistry in Rhythm" style of jazz, but terrific nonetheless. My favorite tune on the disc? ALL of them. The songs are energetic and exciting, but they can also be quiet and soulful. The solos are marvelous, as is all the playing. A very fun and enjoyable disc. My only complaint? That it's too short- no doubt because it was recorded in the days of vinyl records. But every minute is packed with awesome jazz. This album will make a great and interesting addition to any jazz or Kenton collection.
