Biographical Note
Stanley Newcomb Kenton was a jazz pianist, composer, and arranger. He was born in
Wichita, Kansas on December 15, 1911 and died in Los Angeles, California on August
25, 1979. From 1941 to 1948 Mr. Kenton led his own band, the Artistry in Rhythm
Orchestra, which gained a national reputation after Capitol released the album
"Artistry in Rhythm,” in 1943. In 1950 Kenton assembled his largest band, a 39-piece
orchestra named Innovations in Modern Music. Soon after, however, he returned to his
usual 19-piece lineup. His last successful experiment was his mellophonium band of
1960-1963. In later years, he dedicated his time to teaching jazz to young
musicians.
The collection consists of copies of arrangements. Materials are mostly undated. The
suggested range date of the materials is the approximate years in which Mr. Kenton
was active as a musician and educator.
This manuscript group is part of the International Jazz Collections-IJC.
The arrangements are organized alphabetically by title.
The collection is open to the public. Researchers must use the collection in
accordance with the policies of the University of Idaho Special Collections and
