Never has the flavor of the very private, very special world of a touring big band captured more acutely than in Bound to be Heard, a study of Stan Kenton and his Orchestra on the road. On and off camera the band plays a series of darkly attractive works by Dee Barton, while Kenton emerges as a man of tremendous conviction, a Goliath of a conductor, and a leader with an unquenchable sense of commitment, Bound to Be Heard ought to be seen.
