Go for Vol.4 with some outstanding work by Russ Freeman .... and Art Pepper's performance on "Angel Eyes" is worth the ticket of entry alone ....

I'm a Freeman fan, but I can't stand Bill Watrous. How is the one with Konitz? Based on samples, I'd really like the one with Stitt, but that costs a minimum of $45.

The Konitz - at least for me - not a standout ....

I have all 6 volumes in a 5CD Galaxy box set. Works for me.

INCREDIBLE music saddled with an AWFUL cover.

No surprise that Norris and Mraz play wonderfully -- but this LP also features some of the best playing from Ronnie Bedford that I've heard.

 

Indeed!

Ordered the Pepper-Stitt from Omnivore at a very reasonable price. Also found a copy of "Among Friends" at Half-Price Books today.

Lovely Chet Baker vocal, fine work from pianist Phil Markowitz:

Got this from my wife for Chrismas ! 

I must admit I was not so familiar with Kenton´s work and this here is most welcome. So I dug into it. Great band, great arrangements and very fine solos. Huge brass sound, a lot of percussion work .
