#Jazz #StanKenton paid well. He was deemed progressive in the financially precarious big band realm (compare Woody Herman). His orchestral sound was so powerful, with brass sections rising up in unison, like a battleship’s 15” guns (deliberate theatrics) threatening to blast the concert hall windows out. Somehow he attracted #LeeKonitz to the 1st alto chair. #Tristano was outraged. Lee always claimed he gained a stronger alto saxophone sound at Kenton. 🎷 #8thnotes
