==Commentary==
Fresh from the commercial failure of his first Neophonic Orchestra, Kenton returned to the studio and the road with a new jazz band, featuring some of the top-flight west coast players he had come to know since his last jazz band broke up in 1950. He commissioned music from several arrangers, including [[Bill Holman]], [[Johnny Richards]], [[Shorty Rogers]], and [[Bill Russo]], and this album was the result. Long regarded as one of the finest Kenton recordings, this studio album captures the energy and fire of one of Kenton's hardest-swinging bands, including soloists like [[Frank Rosolino]], [[Lee Konitz]], [[Maynard Ferguson]], and [[Sal Salvador]].
