화려한 자켓사진이 이 앨범은 1948년 5/29~7/17까지 8주간 빌보드 앨범차트 1위를 차지한 Stan Kenton의 A Presentation of Progressive Jazz(1947년 Capitol 78rpm 4레코드세트로 발매) 입니다. 피아니스트이자 작곡자, 교육가로, 또한 자신의 독창적이고도 혁신적인 재즈 오케스트라를 이끈 리더였던 그는 progressive jazz 장르를 개척한 선구자로 재즈 전성시대에서도 정상에 있던 아티스트였습니다. 이 앨범의 성공을 필두로 이후 수 많은 앨범들이 그의 디스코그라피를 장식하게 됩니다.
현재 CD버전으로 나온 것을 찾아보니 2001년 Proper Box UK 레이블로 발매되었던 4CD의 Stan Kenton Story [Box set]이 가장 근접한 것 같아 소개해 봅니다. 4CD의 베스트앨범격인 이 음반에는 4번째 CD에 오리지널 8곡 중에서 6, 8번 곡을 제외한 나머지 6곡이 포함되어 있어 아쉬운대로 명반의 채취를 잘 느낄 수 있게 해주며 가격도 염가판이라 상당히 저렴한 편이네요.
