If there is one chart which seems to capture the essence of Stan's mid-fifties bands, this is the one! The chart swings like mad from downbeat to the end. This is one of Bill Holman's best early charts, and he turned everyone on their ear with it. There are great ensemble sections, and great solo spaces for guitar (or piano), bass, trumpet, and tenor saxophone. This is very sophisticated music included on arguably the best album the Stan Kenton Orchestra ever recorded – Contemporary Concepts. This “edited” version of “Stompin’ at the Savoy” is the same as the original except it is written for 8-brass (not 10). 5-4-4-4
