In 1973 the Muskogee High School Jazz Band won the Greater Southwest Music Festival with a program of Kenton tunes. There were bands from 26 states competing for the Most Outstanding Band, including NY & CA. The judges were Clark Terry, Leon Breeden, and Richard Cox (I recall was the former Director of the Tulsa Edison Screaming Eagles Band). When we started Clark Terry was leaning over his score with a pen in his hand. By the time we finished our opening number, A Little Minor Booze, he had laid down his pen and listened to the music for the rest of the program. I'm convinced Malaga won the title for us. Hearing it still brings back fond memories.
It was a much less prestigious competition, but our high school jazz orchestra also used Malaga to clinch a win.
It was at a rehearsal at Western Recorders in LA that this was passed out for the first time. I was surprised that the solo was on my 2nd book, but, Dick never said a word. So, I got to play and record that solo for the next 2 years. Such fun!
Hi there, would you be willing to provide some insight on how rehearsal in the Kenton band was executed? Did you guys just read the charts down, or did Stan spend some time shaping the sound and being specific about what he was looking for?
I am forever impressed by your improv skill. Makes what I was doing look simplistic and jr high... (so to speak).
Were you at the Disneyland Anaheim gig in October 1977? I was there that evening?
Den dagen jag dör alla mina vänner försvinner och även musiken KATASTROF.
Blessed to have grandparents and parents who loved and appreciated big band jazz ... specifically the Stan Kenton Orchestra! Even more blessed to have that same appreciation myself ... from my junior high years through present day! I have incredible and vivid memories of my parents taking my brothers and I to see the Kenton band play live twice when we were kids ... once at the old (pre-tornado) Xenia (OH) High School, and again a few summers later at the KonTiki Club in Dayton OH. Amazing experiences! Over the years, I've not only kept my dad's albums, but managed to find all of them on CD ... and uncover a few gems of my own! Absolutely timeless music and arrangements! Thanks to all of you who have posted these videos from back in the day!
Hooray for Joe (Marcinkiewicz). Such a nice fellow. Back when I was just out of high school I did some computer work for him and he gave me lessons (he would often take a break to to something in his mouthpiece manufacturing process in the middle). Haven't seen him since the late 90s, but think very highly of him.
Bill Holman was a master arranger, I felt honored to play his charts.
I had the honor of producing two concerts in 1974 with Maynard and then Kenton 10 days later in San Diego at our HS where I was the director. Then in ‘78 as Jazz Coordinator for the California Music Edcators, I invited Leon Breeden to direct the All California Jazz band... Great days for me and the kids learning to play this great music!!! Thanks for posting this video!
Love Kenton arrangements, I was lead tenor with Marine Corps Jazz band in Japan. This and Malagueña always brought down the house. Even the grunts loved it.
Dick Shearer on lead trombone......nuf said OMG...... and that has to be the all time great power big band chart.Acually met Stan Kenton at one of his Kenton Clinics in the early 1970,s I was in high school then and totally hypnotized by this type of music.Yeah we wore clothes like that LOL
Simply incredible. There are no words to describe the trombone chord at 2 minutes in.
Two, actually. "Major" and "triad".
@@MrBochawa Three, Triad again, and "Fired".
One Of the Great Stan Kenton Tracks !! The Great Bill Holman Tune. Great Playing
I'm not a religious man, but God bless Stan Kenton. I feel that way every time I see him or hear his music. He was a guy who really cared about and believed in everything he did, whatever the cost. He was a lot like Miles in that way actually; he had vision and cultivated a lot of talent along the way. A great man.
I couldn’t have said it better.
Awesome. John Von Ohlen - "ME ANIMAL! BANG DRUMS! HAHAHAHA!"
When I used to be in the lower brass section of my high school and college band, I loved the part when we used to stand up. That meant business. *fights off the woodwinds with the trombone slide*
Wow - I love that beautiful triad the 'bones play right before the tempo change; it just rings out, it's so in tune.
Love Stan Kenton's Orchestra.
I love the energy of the drummer throughout the piece and especially at the end! Thanks for sharing!
... für mich ein moderner Richard Wagner
in der Orchestrierung und Transparenz
der Band-Sektionen. Kenton72 der Beste.
Ohne die früheren Jahre zu schmälern.
I had the great fortune of seeing this band (and later iterations with Pete Erskine, etc.). There will never be another Stan and I can't thank him enough for the inspiration he had on me (even as a guitarist!). Best wishes to Mike Vax. I wish there was a you tube of the Hank Levy tunes --- Indra, Fringe Benefit, etc. Best to all! Dave Powell, Omaha
Oh, how true!! I heard these guys play at my high school and other venues back then. What a great time to be an aspiring trombonist!
RIP JVO. Incredible musician, such an inspiration.
Just the intro alone is worth the listen.
Last year, our marching band did a show entitile, " Artistry in Latin Jazz: A Tribute to Stan Kenton." This piece, A Time for Love and Tico Tico were included. To bad I was in 8th grade at the time.
A man who changed jazz more than any other. He opened doors that many were afraid to enter. Allowing for Dizzy, Charie, Shorty and all the other great innovators - Kenton had the most dramatic influence.
Excuse me, allowing for Dizzy decades before?
You are obviously an uneducated man. Both Dizzy and Kenton commenced their new needs for a more grown-up jazz around the same time. Kenton was into progressive jazz in the EARLY FORTIES - as was Dizzy.
There was no need to disparage me. But I will thank you for reminding me of the early Kenton days.
I don't know. I'd argue that his music was a sort of sidebar - a brilliant sidebar, but still a sidebar. It's the Forties and Fifties equivalent of prog rock: highly formalized, far from jazz's roots as street music, and meant as listening music, not dance music. While hugely influential on college jazz programs, it didn't make so much of an impact on the jazz actually played in clubs or in jam sessions. Which isn't saying that it wasn't worthwhile and excellent.
Baribrotzer - you are so unaware of the steps that jazz took before it reached its peak that to argue with you is one big waste of time. Study more deeply (if you have any depth), and you'll understand what happened in the forties when Kenton made jazz grow-up.
Simply Great!
I do love Malaguena, but this, this is just magical.
WOW!
Amazing.
The original 'Wall of Sound'.....before Phil Spector.
First heard this in high school on the "Live at Brigham Young University" album, then when I was at the Navy Music School in Little Creek, VA in 1978, we deconstructed this piece in Jazz Lab. We were close having it performance ready when I graduated and was stationed with Navy Showband South in New Orleans. The first thing I did when I got to New Orleans was go see Mike Vax and the Dukes of Dixieland, and took several private lessons from him. Boy, those were the days......
magnífico
I was at that concert, Odeon Hammersmith.
its so rich its mind boggling
Mike - awesome to find you here! I was at the Sac State band camp in that same time frame (on bari) and remember this incarnation of the band very well. Great stuff.
Wow, Mike - what an honor! What was Stan like? As a trumpet player, I always bought every album I could find of the orchestra. (I guess the Maynard influence is always there). Fantastic playing!! What an honor to communicate! It must have been something gigging with Stan Kenton!
Stan wanted to be a Trombone player in his alter life!!!
A Monster chart and always will be ahead of it's time period!!!!!
Beethoven sit on this!!
John is a local drummer here with the Blue Wisp Big Band.
Dickus rocks. Jon Von Ohlen was the inspiration for the muppets Animal, in my opinion. Fantastic stuff, thanks so much for posting.
Mike Vax always finds a way to put even higher notes at the tops of chords. It's also pretty cool to see Jay Saunders get featured.
In marching season the band gets to play Malagueña and Malaga in the Opener! I am so exited! :)
Argonne Rebels were performing Malaga from the very early days of DCI
Once heard a high school band play this.
We did. 1980. Meade County High School Band from Brandenburg, Kentucky. It was a fun chart. Crowds loved it.
I thought Jay Saunders (in the middle) was playing lead. He's a monster player and incredibly cool guy.
Argonne rebels 1973
von ohlen must have been the inspiration for the muppet Animal at the end of this clip : ) great stuff
A PROPOSITO DI S.KENTON, ALLORA CHE NE DITE DI MALAGA? VI HO GIÀ ACCENNATO CON PEANUT VENDOR... ANCORA UNA STUPENDA FUSIONE DI SUONI ! (TRIESTE/ITALY).
Looking for anything on my father, the late Jimmy "Red" BORLAND, who sang with the Pastels in 1947 (Kenton's vocal group)...
hey mike!! Wow My father was a jazz trombonist and I grew up listening to this I have the albums that you guys did in the states live redlands, BYU, and another one in a series>> Tell me more !!
woa! awsome haha the drumer looks like hes gonna kill someone haha great vid
2 bari saxs?!!!!
Quentin Tarantino on the drums?
The "Baron" John Von Ohlen
When you're playing in any kind of band (or choir, for that matter), there's always a part in the song that you just can't wait to get to. And when you get there, you just want to swim in it for a while.
I wonder which part it was for these guys. Maybe 5:27?
Great modulation
The drummer is working his ass off!! Is That Peter Erskine?
@littleryry2005 What corps are you from? I just finished a half-tour with Velvet Knights on euph. And to everybody, the 1995 Madison Scouts did an awesome version of this and got one of the biggest audience reactions ever from a drum corps with it.
Malaguena got all the pub, but I always liked this chart better...
I now the Baron VonOhlen. He said look at Denmark. "the best" Please respond!!!!!!
I believe original DCI corps to do this was 81 Freelancers.
Does anyone have a list of who the saxophonists were?
Quin Davis, Richard Torres, Kim Frizell, Willie Maiden and Chuck Carter
@@bazmo2401 Thanks! My old sax instructor played for a while in the band and I am trying to find videos with him in there. His name is Dick Wilkie.
Please forgive me..it is Ohlen!
i agree the drummer does look like he is about ready to kill someone at the end there...lol.....but one hell of an effort on this piece
And how
Actually The Etobicoke-Oakland Crusaders did it in 1975...
Whos that on tenor?
one doubled bass.
Malaga are you shitting me!!!!
Stan looking at the paper on the piano reminding him that his coal is to be delivered on Thursday instead of Friday and his mother-in-law is staying next week.
Yea, hhsstringstummer..."It's hard, DON'T TRY IT YOU OBVIOUSLY WILL RUIN IT." Trying hard let me have opportunities to play w/ Ohlen, Bill Watrous, Jim Walker, among others. I hope you aren't a teacher.
WOW!
