Title: The Best Kenton Album
Review: I have this selection on vinyl, and is one of my favorite Kenton albums. I immediately ordered the CD when it came out, not expecting much quality since it was recorded in the 50's. However, I must say the fidelity is truly amazing. What a wonderful job the Blue Note engineering staff has done. I'll say it again--truly amazing. Liner notes are excellent, and tell that the sessions were also recorded in stereo, however the mix was off, so therefore the original LP and the CD likewise were released in mono. Every Kenton fan must add this CD to their collection along with Kenton in HiFi, Cuban Fire, and the Standards albums. Most of these are mono, but never mind--the quality of the musicianship is there, and the fidelity is great.Frank in Tennessee
