At The Macumba Club on CD

Stan Kenton's 1956 performance at the Macumba Club was a prime example of a band at the height of it's powers, delivering a night of jazz that was as polished as it was powerful. The San Francisco venue, known for attracting top-tier talent, was the ideal setting for Kenton and his orchestra to showcase their distinct sound - the blend of sophisticated arrangements and bold brass that had become their hallmark. This recording isn't just a relic of the past; it's a time capsule that preserves the night when Kenton, Heider, and a band of virtuosos turned the Macumba Club into the epicenter of the jazz universe, if only for a few fleeting hours. Listening to it now, you're not just hearing music; masterclass in big band jazz and recording, and a testament to these juggernauts of the golden age of jazz. Available now for the first time on CD.
