In 1972, after a break of several years, the Stan Kenton Orchestra went on tour through Europe. At this time Stan Kenton was preceded by his reputation as the legend of progressive jazz. The band was in top form and had new material in store Bill Holmans Latin earworm Malaga, his arrangement of Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue, or the title melody Love Story from the eponymous movie hit of 1971. This is a recording of the live performance from January 17th, 1972, in Stuttgart, Germany.
