The Kenton Touch / Lush Interlude
A pair of Pete Rugolo-arranged classics from 1958, both featuring string sections and legendary West Coast jazz musicians like Red Mitchell, Shelley Manne and Laurindo Alemida! In fact, this pairing went together so well that we’re putting it out on a two-CD set, since the two albums didn’t fit on a single CD. "Lush Interlude" dramatically re-interprets the Kenton standards "Interlude," "Collaboration," "Opus in Pastels," "A Theme for My Lady," "Artistry in Bolero," "Concerto to End All Concertos," "Machito," "Theme to the West," "Artistry in Rhythm," and the new composition "Lush Waltz." "The Kenton Touch," meanwhile, features sparkling Bill Holman charts on "Salute," "Monotony," "Elegy for Alto," "Theme for Sunday," "Ballade for Drums," "Minor Riff," "The End of the World," "Opus in Chartreuse," "Painted Rhythm," and "A Rose for David."
