Stan Kenton Concert Encores

Blue Note Broadcast

English · Music, Radio

Stan Kenton Concert Encores presents a concert performance by bandleader and pianist Stan Kenton and his orchestra. The program centers on the ensemble’s large, energetic sound, with brass and reeds shaping the music’s bold, modern character.

As a broadcast concert, it offers a chance to hear the band in performance rather than in a spoken dramatic story. The focus is on the orchestra and its musical selections, with Kenton’s distinctive approach to big-band jazz at the heart of the listening experience.

The result is a lively snapshot of a concert broadcast, suited to listeners drawn to mid-century jazz and the powerful, arranged sound of a full orchestra.
