5.0 out of 5 stars This recording includes SEND IN THE CLOWNS & FUNNY VALENTINE, June 12, 1998

Unlike a lot of Kenton discs which only feature the band, this album has a Kenton piano solo on every track. His style is minimalistic, but on these (mostly) ballads, it works perfectly. One of the most powerful, ballsy trumpet solos ever recorded is the one by John Harner on SEND IN THE CLOWNS. This album contains some of Kenton's best (popular) Big Band arrangements, played around colleges everywhere, including his classic Bill Holman arrangement of RHAPSODY IN BLUE, and Ken Hanna's arrangement of BODY AND SOUL. This disc is one for all Big Band archives. The fidelity of this CD Remaster is very good.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Set of Songs, March 6, 1999

This is a GREAT compilation! "My Funny Valentine" simply shakes you to your core! Coming from someone who has played (or at least tried!) the bass trombone part to much of Kenton's work, this stands out as one of the best. A must-buy if you enjoy true power in a big band.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, October 5, 2002

This is...without a doubt my favorite Kenton CD. From the opening "Send In The Clowns" to "My Funny Valentine" which will blow you away...this CD is non stop Kenton at his very best. It's a real pleasure to hear Kenton's piano solos...although they are minimal. What a terrific CD. I play it every day after work just to chill out. The trombone...sax...and trumpet solos are fantastic. If you really want to hear Kenton at his best...buy this CD. You will not be sorry...I promise. If you are not familiar with Kenton...this would be the perfect CD to become acquainted with Stan and his great orchestra.
