Kenton With Voices / Artistry in Voices & Brass

Stan’s collaborations with vocal groups like the Four Freshmen are legendary, so you know this pair of vocal-oriented albums are liable to be very tasty! Stan himself arranged 1957’s "Kenton with Voices" for the vocal talents of Ann Richards and the male quartet the Modern Men, while 1963’s "Artistry in Voices and Brass" took Pete Rugolo arrangements of classic Kenton compositions like "Artistry in Rhythm" and "Intermission Riff," added lyrics by Milt Raskin, re-titled them and set them to an 18-voice choir (Stan was never accused of thinking small)! We’ve also added three unreleased bonus tracks ("Sunday’s Child," "Thanks for You," and "Orchids in the Moonlight") for a total of 26 tracks of sublime orchestra and vocals.
