Description

'Road Shows' presents two of Stan Kenton's finest bands, from 1955 and 1959, alongside performances by two artists closely associated with Kenton, vocal group The Four Freshmen and vocalist Ann Richards. All tracks are previously unreleased.

The '55 Kenton orchestra is universally regarded as the swingingest aggregation Stan would ever lead, with arrangements by Bill Holman and "concert-master" Al Porcino and the hot, young drummer Mel Lewis exerting their swing-boosting magnetism.

The Four Freshmen were introduced to Capitol Records by Stan Kenton in 1950 and they soon became chart-toppers, often appearing with Kenton on recordings and in live performances. 'Road Shows' captures the group in 1994 in Holland backed by an all-star trio of Dutch musicians.

Ann Richards' refreshing vocal stylings are showcased on four tracks recorded with the Kenton orchestra, with the cream-of-the-crop arrangements by Bill Holman and Lennie Niehaus, including "It Never Entered My Mind", which was one of her feature-songs.
