An excellent 4CD retrospective of Stan Kenton's groundbreaking years at Capitol Records – featuring a wonderfully-selected batch of tunes that spans the full scope of Stan's genius! The music ranges from the modern to the swinging – and captures all sides of Kenton's career in a way that nicely links together his many lineups, experiments, and varied album settings. The box also features a well-done booklet on the recordings, and features a whopping number of tunes that include "Art Pepper", "Orange Colored Sky", "Sunset Tower", "El Congo Valiente", "Waltz Of The Prophets", "Passacaglia & Fugue", "Lonely Boy", "Across The Alley From The Alamo", and "King Fish". © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
Used CD Grade
We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.
When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.
All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
