I do support that. I came to Kenton via his great 1950s orchestra and the Capitol issues. He himself was also a good arranger: - Portrais & Sketches of Standards - Kenton presents (with Art Pepper) - New Concepts of Artistry in Rhythm - Contemporary Concepts and the great - Showcase (with Holman & Russo arranging) This period ended with "Back To Balboa" IMO & I lost him when the 'Neophonic Era' began with the Mellophoniums and that bombastic Wagner Interpretation. Yes he was a restless searcher as DB printed it. The recent discovered 1952 Stereo tracks from The Blue Note Club are again a highlight for me. What a Band with all the later West Coast stars. Among my more than 100 Kenton Items the 1950s are the best sounding Items for me. Here is something extra

😁 Have it. Seldom seen in forums

IMO its not a 'ghost' band but an orchestra on its own based on a majority of members of the former TH-ML Orchestra. The sound is very alike but missing are Thad's arrangements and Thas & Mel naturally. OTOH they had invited some famous guests. In connection with Sal Mosca (one of the leading members) and another person connected to the former TH-ML Orchestra we collected various concerts and produced for a little cicle of interested fans the following concerts from that band on private CD-Rs: All I can say great big band music missing so much in Organissimo

I am one of the people liking Pete Christliebs's tenorsax and ofcourse the rest of that CD

😁 👍 Both excellent and here in the stock 👍 😁
