Until recently, I owned nary a note by Stan Kenton. I appreciate the opportunity to become familiar with music I don't have. I like late mono material, just before the dawn of stereo. I am also a fan of early stereo, "hyper" stereo. I believe we are on the same page there.
Most of my experience with hyper stereo would be in the country, "Nashville Sound" genre, however.
To eliminate possible confusion, allow me to modify my original statement. "Stanton in Hi-Fi, in mono, played on a stereo."
