In the 1950s, while most of the big-band leaders were scaling back due to the postwar passing of the Swing Era, pianist/bandleader/conductor Stan Kenton was gearing up for a long and prolific career. While he never totally abandoned aspects of swing, Kenton's approach was influenced by the intricacies of bop, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and modern classical music. Kenton's take on the big-band sound was more progressive and intellectual, not to mention louder. He also helped launch the careers of trumpeter Maynard Ferguson and singer Anita O'Day. Originally released in the late 1960s on Kenton's Creative World label, COMPOSITIONS OF DEE BARTON highlighted Barton's nervy, cinematic-sounding music. Years later, in the '70s and '80s, Barton would be best known for his many film scores, especially for several Clint Eastwood movies.
