Stan Kenton would like for John Lewis to be more masculine in his music: http://otrrlibrary.org/OTRRLib/Library%20Files/J%20Series/Jazz%20Book/Jazz%20Book%20xxxxxx%20%232%20AFRTS.mp3

and also explains his fascination with Earl Hines!

Well, I too would have liked Lewis to be "more masculine" in his music, if you want to put it that way, but then he wouldn't have been John Lewis.

At the end of that show, they play an Earl Hines record calles "Space Ship" with a really Jug-like tenor outing. A little research shows it to be Morris Lane. Totally surprised by that one. It's on C. Classics 1953-1954, gotts go looking for that one, that whole series, file under You Don't Miss You Water Till Your Well Runs Dry.

At last, the full footage!

Great shirt, great slogan. Could well picture myself getting me one too.
But unless you wear it exclusively at jazz concerts catering to the "more mature set", aren't you getting tired of explaining to whoever you socialize with who "this Stan Kenton is"? (or, at the very least, why you'd pick THAT dude ...)
