Review
by Scott Yanow
Since Pete Rugolo came to fame for his many arrangements for the Stan Kenton Orchestra and this was one of his last important jazz albums before he became largely a full-time writer for the studios, it seems only proper that the date finds Rugolo paying tribute to his former boss. Rugolo rearranged a dozen numbers originally recorded by Stan Kenton, including four -- "Minor Riff," "Theme to the West," "Artistry in Boogie," and "Capitol Punishment" -- he had co-written with Kenton. Using a big band that includes such Kenton alumni as trumpeter Buddy Childers, trombonists Milt Bernhart and Frank Rosolino, altoist Bud Shank, tenor saxophonist Bob Cooper, and drummer Shelly Manne, Rugolo does not merely re-create the past but instead comes up with fresh variations to such songs as "Eager Beaver," "Concerto to End All Concertos," "Artistry in Rhythm" and "Southern Scandal."

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Dado que Pete Rugolo saltó a la fama por sus numerosos arreglos para la Stan Kenton Orchestra y que éste fue uno de sus últimos álbumes importantes de jazz antes de convertirse en escritor a tiempo completo para los estudios, parece apropiado que la fecha encuentre a Rugolo rindiendo homenaje a su antiguo jefe. Rugolo reorganizó una docena de números grabados originalmente por Stan Kenton, incluyendo cuatro - "Minor Riff", "Theme to the West", "Artistry in Boogie" y "Capitol Punishment" - que había co-escrito con Kenton. Con una big band que incluye a antiguos alumnos de Kenton como el trompetista Buddy Childers, los trombonistas Milt Bernhart y Frank Rosolino, el contralto Bud Shank, el saxofonista tenor Bob Cooper y el batería Shelly Manne, Rugolo no se limita a recrear el pasado, sino que crea nuevas variaciones para canciones como "Eager Beaver", "Concerto to End All Concertos", "Artistry in Rhythm" y "Southern Scandal".
