'''''New Concepts of Artistry in Rhythm''''' is an [[album]] by [[Stan Kenton]].

==Background==
{{Review|section|date=August 2017}}
Fresh from the commercial failure of his Innovations in Modern Music 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 (musician)|Bill Holman]], [[Johnny Richards]], [[Gerry Mulligan]], [[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]], [[Conte Candoli]], [[Maynard Ferguson]], and [[Sal Salvador]].
