Stan Keuton , bandleader, composer and pianist, talks to BRIAN PRIESTLEY about his career in music. Kenton led his first band in 1941 and soon built up a reputation as the foremost of the ' progressives who were creating a new style in big band jazz at the end of the war. The Kenton Bands have always been workshops for musicians like Kai Winding, Conti Candoli and Lee Konitz , and writers like Pete Rugolo and Johnny Richards. Kenton regularly takes his band to universities and colleges giving seminars to encourage and help young musicians. He was also one of the first musicians to create his own record label. The various facets of his music which come up in conversation are illustrated by some of his records.
