Description
With solos from the likes of Bob Florence, Carl Saunders, and many more, this is the definitive culmination of all the great (Broadway and Movie) music that the Stan Kenton Legacy Orchestra has played during 22 tours around the country.
This CD represents 3 things for Mike Vax:
1. His musical life and love of Kenton since he heard his first recording.
2. 32 years of leading, booking, promoting, sweating, caring, countless hours spent, and the joy of working to keep Stan Kenton’s legacy alive.
3. The relationships with literally 100 musicians who have played in the Stan Kenton Legacy Orchestra over the years.
