The Stan Kenton Orchestra - Christmas Medley 

Just played the lead trumpet book today at a service in Kenton’s hometown of Wichita, KS! What a blast!

Thank you! When I was a little girl in the 60's my dad played this and pretty much...This is what Christmas is all about!

Bless you. Thank you! Cannot find my Kenton Christmas anywhere..you saved the Holiday!

my cousin pete chivaly played bass on this album when he was18 r.i.p.

The Mellophones in the picture are conn 16E mellophoniums (mellophone). I own one myself and its a fantastic instrument and truly unique!

Great stuff!

"The Good Stuff " !

And on lead trumpet???? MAYNARD FERGUSON, of course!

Those mellos around 3:37
