i am 50 years old and i was the only kid of all my friends groing up who's parents listened to jazz and Kenton was/is thier favorite. back then i was to young to appreciate him or big band jazz. Now Big band jazz is my favorite and so is Kenton.I wish there were still big bands playing today...seing one live is awsome
I'm so Old, saw the Kenton band play at SHELLEY'S MAN HOLE in Hollywood. Band filled half the room! (So nice to see these young men get an opportunity to entertain, wonder who and where they are today!?
Wow, that's some ancient dirt! I think this was from one of many benefit shows we had for our brother Richard Burdell who we lost to ALS. And this tune was a rough sketch of mine dedicated to Richard that we called "Burdell's Bolero" in his honor. Gary and Glen were the ones writing most of the really great material for that project back then.
@@sandraminer301 Saxes: Terry Layne, Roy Reynolds, Teddy Andersen, Greg Metcalf and Al Yankee. Trumpets: Jay Sollenberger, Dave Kennedy, Steve Campos, Joe Casano and Tim Hagans. Bones: Dick Shearer, Mike Egan, Jeff Uusitalo, Allan Morrissey and Doug Purviance. Rhythm: Gary Hobbs (dr), John Worster (b), Ramon Lopez (perc.), Stan Kenton (p/leader).
The soloists (according to Stan's callouts at the end) are Terry Layne, Tim Hagans, and Jeff Uusitalo, so this is pretty much the "Live in Europe" band.
@@agrobeson6471 I played with Brad Stroud (Bone) at NTSU. He got on the band in ±1978 ( i think) and died from Hodgkin's disease soon after that. I've been searching for any solos he played that were recorded video and/or audio. Never found any. Do you know of any?
@@yanbu000 Several gig recordings were made in January and February of 1977 when Brad was part of the band. He was still in active chemo treatment and was absent every ten days for a three-day treatment. Stan ~ and all of us ~ were tolerant of this imposed schedule due to Brad's extraordinary talent and riveting presence on the band. Turns out his 'alt-chemo' involved returning to his frat house @ OU and slamming a 24 hour beer hang. (I think it was Pikes.) Alan Yankee was one of those making recordings but I don't know of any surviving dubs. This arrangement lasted January through March when the demands of the road life just overwhelmed his frail health. We looked forward to the dance gigs when Brad would launch into the ballads on standards (from the Artistry series') plus, we were in a stacked bandstand (no B 52 wide wings with 50 feet between Bari 2 & bass trbn 5) Brad was an old soul, salty and profane, and the band bent over backwards to accomodate his remarkable talent. Wonderful to hear his name mentioned again!
@@yanbu000 I have a friend (Dave of Butler Trombones) who tells of sharing a Rich Matteson improv class w/ Brad. No rookie, he stopped mid-solo one day in class and railed on the rhythm section (all third & fourth year cats) "I can't work with such effin' miserable players!"
any more from this concert never seen any of this ,fantastic keep it up ,more more more from a Kenton fan in the highlands of Scotland,saw this actual band in Croydon London never forget it.
Much different tempo and rhythms from the one on Adventures in Jazz in the early 60's. Only a couple of years before Stan passed away. I saw his band in 74 in Kalamazoo, Mi. Very well done, of course.
Yep, that's John. He always played with a lot of fire. I got to know John a bit in the early '60s when he was on the band and I was hearing them at every opportunity. Great guy!
I've virtually worshiped Stan Kenton since the early 70's when my dad introduced me to his music. Saw him live in Hastings NE. Amazing!!. Really sad that I learned recently he forced himself sexually upon his daughter Leslie when she was young. Really diminishes his legacy for me. Sick.
@@TrumpetTNT this tour produced the single-LP Live in London. An earlier double-LP recording of the same name was released in '70 or '71 and included four-channel 'encoding' of dubious quality.
This was recorded in a hall (PWA zaal) that was noted for it's bad acoustics. I've been there many times and I am very aware of this problem. This was the reason the The Hague Symphony Orchestra left this place a very long time ago. This recording was not made in a controlled environment like in a studio. The 1961 version was very good, but was played at a far slower speed than this version, which makes it of course easier to play. I always prefer a live version, because here the thing is alive and sizzles.

It was recorded at the Congresgebouw (now World Forum) in The Hague.
All personnel point to Oct of 1976. I replaced Doug Purviance in November 1st of that year.

To answer rdangelo, Dave Kennedy and Joe Casano are the other trumpets. This was recorded in the fall of 1976 on Stan's last European tour.
This the same time period that I saw the band, during their Kenton '76 album tour. Great band! Jay Sollenberger on lead?
Yes
More more more of this concert please!!!!!!!
excellent!
Let's see...
John Worster - Bass
Gary Hobbs - Drums
Ramon Lopez - Congas
Dick Shearer - Lead trombone
Roy Reynolds - tenor sax....
Is that John Worster on bass, an old friend from Boulder CO. I think so.
Yep, that's John. He always played with a lot of fire. I got to know John a bit in the early '60s when he was on the band and I was hearing them at every opportunity. Great guy!
Great to see Stan and his band on video - do you have more you can post?
THIS IS FROM A MONSTER RECORDING ADVENTURES IN JAZZ
A QUANTUM LEAP FOR THE BAND

I think that this is the 76 European tour that the album Kenton in Europe was recorded, therefore it's Dave Kennedy and Joe Casano on tpts,
You sure that's not Jay Sollenberger on Lead trumpet?
@@richardfanning6051 It is Jay Sollenberger playing lead trumpet.

you are correct - my Dad is in there on trumpet - Joe Casano. he said this had to have been '76

@@agrobeson6471So we are in agreeance
@@agrobeson6471The double LP was called Stan Kenton Today, in line with other artists on the Decca ‘…Today’ series
@@TrumpetTNT thank you for clarity
Gary Hobbs Drums!
Anyone know the two trumpets besides Sollenberger, Hagans and Campos?
yes my Dad is one of them - Joe Casano
This tune first surfaced as part of the repertoire of the "Mellophonium Band."
are you sure one of the tenors isn't scott robinson?
Not me! But I see the resemblance, the guy on the left.
Looks like an "All Girl Band".....
This is not the same performance recorded on the "Live in Europe" album. Wish it were, though. Not if that's Terry Lane....he was kind of a weirdo.
YES HE WAS!!! LOL!
Takes one to know one I guess. You ever play in a name band? And, you don't have any idea who I am dick head...@@ultramannick
@@ttlayne8642 Agree. Weird comment by Jim. Nice solo on this tune with unusual changes, probably not easy to solo on also.
The 1962 studio recording is far better.

Yeah, poor old Stan...hiking up his pants on stage and all...
Wow..a young Tim Hagans on trumpet...rubbish sax solo though.....
Fuck you again dick head
