about

Ever controversial, Stan Kenton made Intermission Riff a hit in the late 1940s and this is the first time B# have recorded a Kenton number. Alto saxophonist Tim Wilson delivers a fluent and flowing solo that suggests the ageless Lee Konitz, then Wycliffe launches his 'bone into the stratosphere’, bumping into orbiting weather satellites before coming back to earth in a growly mood. The trumpet ensemble playing is first-rate here and it all ends with rich bass tones from Philip Rex. Kenton's music will never come off so well.
