About This Item
Los Angeles: Popular Programs, 1950. [16]p. including covers, features a double centerfold collage of the orchestra in multiple venues and occasions, and a half-dozen pages of multiple bandmember vitae with inset photoportraits. The maestro contributes a two-page essay which credits musical ecclecticism (Kenton's version of modernism) with qualities that are therapy for what ails us (non-Kentonian modernism). Item looks externally like a sheet music fascicle but is not, it's all text & pix. Spinefold somewhat abraded, general edgewear with a small chip and tear to foredge, a sound copy that is clean and unmarked within. Laid in are two copies of a small one-size fits-all concert program, he's on tour with a standard play-list; these two are slightly beat-up and one is filled with inked comment (incomprehensible) by somebody who went. A Capitol Records promotional piece, and plainly one that Kenton endorses; his essay is a personal philosophy, with interesting quirks.
