Like it. Scott is on a very good CD with Tim Hagans & the Norbotton big band

Like that cover and Nelson too. Here is a european edition on Intersound with a great band of west coast artists (most of them known from the jazz scene there)

Original Pacific Jazz PJ 10 - Reissue by King Record Co. LTD., Japan as GXF 3138 World Pacific Records PJ 1239 from 1958 [reissue by King record Co. Ltd., Japa]

Stumbled over this thread and have all discussed albums except the original PJ 1227 in my stock.I also bought in 2016 a Gambit CD which claims to have all the original takes (without the doctored tracks of Richard Bock) on bord. These are 11 tracks. The CD contains also 5 bonus tracks. Total is 16 tracks ans a playing time of 79:14 Here are the scans of these Items a) the reissued Pacific Jazz # 79 b) The Modes Jazz Trio " Good Friday Blues" c) the Gambit CD 69259 The Complete ' Jazz Guitar' - Jim Hall (Discogs lists this label as "unofficial" and forbids to sell it on their marketplace???) - My CD is still sealed! This is a japanese reissue:

Hi Jim, Just discoverd and enjoyed very much. W.

Some nice sounds from the Capitol label

Capitol EMS 1157 George Shearing Quintet live at Santa Monica - rec. 1963 featuring George Shearing (p) / Johnny Gray (g) / Gary Burton (vibes) / Bill Yancey (b) / Vernel Fournier (dr) An interesting CD box [You can't have enough "Silverr"] ;-]]

Have the Butler U album only for the Four Freshmen (my top vocal group) and some others mentioned above. The Wagner is really not my cup of tea and they all do rest in the racks. But dont miss this one because it has many different concepts & sounds and soloists. Was also reissued on the PAUSA label My favorite is the Art Pepper" track.

Agreed & correct ;-]] All I can comment additionally: When Stan's "Neophonic" period begun he lost me. And thats the end of the Kenton story and me. But some great albums get very often a spinning: - Contemporary Concepts - New Concepts of artistry in rhythm - The Bill Holman & Bill Russo arrangemets - the compilation "Those Kenton Days" with Pepper & Rogers and the 2 "dancable" albums "Portraits & Sketches on Standards + Cuban Fire (Richards arr.) Call them my favorites.

Well you missed referring to one important aspect or two IMO a) He had a talent to select artists for his band which became great names in the West Coast jazz style b) he had always great arrangers (beeing a good one himself btw) for his Ideas If you will submit that too under "organization" its fine with me. I have & read the M. Sparke book "Stan Kenton - This is an orchestra" . There is more about this man to say than the slightly negative aspects we can read in this thread about him not beeing the great soloist. No jazz artist is perfect and our personal preferences may differ a lot.

Yes in this special context this is true. Have the album myself.

Thats what Discogs wrote.. They are not faultless ;-]]

He was during his complete life "the restless searcher" as you can read in Down Beat. Nevertheless he could direct the orchestra via piano like the Duke with his phantastic Intros
