3.0 out of 5 stars The light's getting dim, April 5, 2009

Stan Levey and Frank Rosolino are particularly fine here, but the whole enterprise is beginning to sound a bit safe and formulaic. If you are interested in exploring what the All-Stars were all about, start with Volume Three, which still reflects the original concept of the All-Stars as a creative crucible, an arranger's workshop with shifting personnel, and not merely a pleasant house band.

This album is a lot of fun. From what I understand, the entire band is composed of Stan Kenton Alumni. It features Stan Levey(d), Frank Rosolino(tb), Conte Candoli(tp), Howard Rumsey(b), and Sonny Clarke(p). The group has a lot of energy and virtuosity.

A sure bet for people looking to listen to different jazz ensemble settings.
