Exactly as recorded on the Kenton / Capitol Retrospective CD (and the original Milestones LP). This was Stan's first long version of the theme Artistry in Rhythm and is a great piece to program. Featu...

Hank contributed so much to the Kenton book in the '70's, and this chart is one of the best of the bunch. A lovely, melodic, easy-flowing piece in 5/4 which is a great vehicle for getting into odd-met...
