 Stan Kenton remembered August 9, 2008
Excellent for those who enjoy the music of Stan Kenton. This collection clearly illustrates that 'the Kenton Sound' evolved over the years, with the help of a fantastic group of musicians!
I remember talking with Stan Kenton at a college concert in the '50s. He said that he played 'music for the people', and he also enjoyed talking about his music as well. A unique and talented gentleman!!
Thanks to this collection, the mellow sounds of Kenton will remain alive in my memory.

Best Kenton Collection ever, and a bargain at that April 21, 2004
34 out of 35 found this review helpful
Proper records has done everything right here. The CDs are full, no 9-10 tracks per CD, but 18-20+. Better yet, the selection is excellent, and from a hard-to-get era -- 1941-1947. I find myself listening to this early Kenton more than his later recordings, and enjoying it more.
I found the accompanying booklet quite informative, in spite of being a Kenton fan since the 1950's. Another thing -- the notes give date of recording, and personnel. So many liner notes omit these, to my irritation.

These Proper box sets are a bargain--competently and intelligently produced. "The Stan Kenton Story" represents Kenton's band from 1942-1952, the period during which he established a distinctive sound, then found his visionary energies leading him to the experiments of the 44-piece Innovations Orchestra and the polytonal arrangements of Bob Graetinger.Additionally, Kenton fans undoubtedly will wish to acquire music representing the other two chapters in Stan's career--first, the all-star, swinging, neo-bop ensemble that Kenton formed in 1952, culminating in his "Mellophonium Orchestra" and the end of his association with Capitol records; second, the traveling orchestras that he recorded on his own label, Creative World, between 1964 and 1979. If you're limiting your purchases, try "The Best of Stan Kenton" on Capitol and "Live at Redlands University" on Creative World.

This is a 4 Cd box set with a fantastic booklet included, carefully researched by Stan Kenton expert - Joop Visser, with some really great b/w vintage photos that i have never seen before, and i have been an avid fan of the Kenton Sound for 45 years now.This is a classy product, well presented in a strong carboard surround box and contains some of the "great" original Capitol records recordings from the mid 40's. All the great Kenton sidemen are here in this collection, Buddy Childers, Shelley Manne,Kai Winding, Edie Safranski and many, many more from that great era. If you are a Kenton Freak, dont miss this box set because its wonderful stuff!
