"In particular, as you survey Kenton bone players, don't fail to check out
Archie LeCoque and Bobby Burgess, who didn't have as much fanfare when in
the bone section, but who did some interesting things."

One of my very favorite Kenton tracks is the one from "Sketches On 
Standards" where Bobby Burgess plays "Over the Rainbow".

What great conception! Wonderful chart by Bill Russo. That album defines a 
lot of what the Kenton band was for me in the 1950's.

I guess these charts were from the Kenton dance book, and as such, are not 
regarded as highly as the more adventurous writing that was done for the 
band, but I love them, even if I am a rotten dancer!
