This review is from: A Time For Love (Audio CD)

This is a live recording of a concert at Harper College during the Stan Kenton band's last tour in April, 1978. Almost all of the pieces included here have appeared elsewhere, including "A Little Minor Booze," "Bogota," "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life," and "Malaguena." They have also been played better on other recordings. Still, this is a fine band, and the leader, although nearing the very end of his career, makes some nice contributions on piano.

The sound is okay, my biggest complaint being that the trumpets are consistently undermiked. When listening to Kenton, most of his fans want to feel the brass.

Beside nostalgia, the two biggest reasons for buying this CD are two of the selections: "All The Things You Are" and "A Time For Love." The former is played very slowly, and the result is electrifying. The latter, arranged by Hank Levy, has never been previously recorded, and it is simply gorgeous. No one's Kenton collection is complete without this four-minute "Time For Love." It is Kenton romanticism at its peak.
