Stan Kenton - Peanut Vendor free for downloading

I love the Trombonist near the begging. His moving eyebrows. Great solo. Great Chart!!! Dosn't need swinging that would be cheesy.

I must say, the way the Bass-Bone takes over for the bari just both cracks me up and gives me the shivers everytime I hear it. Wow! Just wow, what a sound from both the Bass-bone and the rest of the Band!

THANK YOU! I was lucky to have a Dad that played Mr Kenton's music daily and took me, as a 13 yr old, to see this Band at Six Flags over America St Louis.   I was mesmerized then as today. The Jimi Hendrix of his generation and genre imo. I met mr Kenton and asked for his autograph.  His reply when I said my Dad owns all your albums and plays them everyday "Thank your Dad very much young man"... me "will you play the Beatles tonight?" mr Kenton "Sure we will play the Beatles for you"....me "Thanks Mr Kenton"...they blew me away with their version of Hey Jude that night.

A great vehicle for a band like Kenton's, the rhythms and colour tone as rich as a Russian oligarch.

wow what a sound,no other band had that wall of sound.i think his band of that time was the best.thanks for posting

What a trombone solo. The best trombone in a chart ever on any version. Great piece of music. stan Kenton is a ledgend. Wicked Trumpets!!!

It's not a big band unless it has FIVE trombones! Kenton invented the wall of sound, not Phil Specter.

I saw Stan play this at Brandy's Wharf In Philly in 1970 or was it 1971? AWESOME!

Ah, this is great, one of my favorite Kenton charts I've had opportunity to play, and even better seeing Joe (Marcinkiewicz) playing in the video. I used to take lessons from Joe at his factory in Canby, OR and did some website work for him long ago and far away. Really great guy.

What a treat to remember Dick Schearer leading that trombone section!

STAN KENTON AND HIS ORCHESTRAS VERSION OF THE PEANUT VENDOR  IS FABULOUS !!!  PURE LISTENING JOY.          HY KLEINMAN ( ALIAS PEREZ K )

Richard Torres on the flute, his future father-in-law Chuck Carter on bari sax, Baron von Ohlen on drums!

Thank you damiles man. you had to be really good to play in his band. Check out his version of send in the clowns or Street of Dreams . 5 trumpets, 5bones, 5 saxes. It will blow you rmind. Greatest brass section.

Personally this sounds messy compared to the great Kenton band ot the early 50s - just my opinion. By the way I havn't marked it down.

wow. were playing this in my band
