As a climax to over eleven years pioneering in the field of jazz, Stan Kenton is producing a new series of albums for Capitol under the title, “Stan Kenton Presents Jazz.” Albums and singles in this new series will feature small groups headed by such jazz personalities as Bob Cooper, Boots Mussulli, Bill Holman, Frank Rosolino, Lee Konitz and others. Kenton, who has long felt that there are not enough jazz stars to supply and keep alive the jazz clubs, plans to search out and develop new artists. “They must be in the jazz idiom," he states, "but they can express their own personality in their own way as long as it is sincere, good music and deserves to be heard.” His new project for Capitol will be in addition to his activities with his own orchestra, for which he is currently shaping a fall concert tour titled “The Festival of Modern Jazz.”
