Stan Kenton was a true visionary. His zeal for exploring the limits of expression in music took the big bands out of the ballrooms and into the concert halls of the world. Kenton was also a highly skilled speaker and spoke with profound depth about this music he loved so intensely. “Home Journey” exemplifies these explorations. It begins with the lower voicing of the sax section before the piano comes in, then the entire band comes in with brief trumpet and tenor sax solos. This is an ensemble piece of unique power, full of brilliant color.
