Background: For all the power, beauty, and majesty of his music, Stan Kenton remains an enigma. That may be a little dramatic – but it’s the kind of drama that Kenton himself would have appreciated. Certainly much of his oeuvre encompasses a long series of contradictions: he put together a series of the hardest-swinging big bands in the history of American music, but he often seemed be on an impossible dream kind of quest for a new jazz-art music hybrid in which swing was not necessarily the thing. He was one of the first white bandleaders to regularly hire black musicians, but in an infamous moment around 1956, he complained that white jazzmen were under-appreciated. He was constantly looking for ways to push the boundaries of the music into the future - he was the first musician to popularize the term 'progressive jazz' - yet he also constantly carried the torch for the great early players like Louis Armstrong and Earl Hines. |
