Bill: This one if you can find it- Straight Ahead, The Story of Stan Kenton by Carol Easton Quite different than Sparke's book (though they complement each other quite nicely). Easton tells you all you need to know (and sometimes more) about Stan the Man. Kenton hated the book and apparently refused to autograph it, but a friend of mine who knew Kenton says it is pretty much spot-on. (I hate this cover, the original was much better, but I couldn't find an image that would fit). Thanks John. Have put in an order for a used a copy at 48p from an Atlanta supplier. Even with the shipping charge of £2.80, it's still peanuts! P.S. Atlanta supplier can't supply. Too good to be true, I suppose. Bill: I'll bet the U.K. library system has it somewhere. Kenton was quite popular in England. How right you were, John. It's in the Manchester Public Libraries system. I have just reserved it online and it will be sent to a library within walking distance. That's service for you!
