About this event Claire Martin (vocalist), BBC Big Band and J iggs Whigham (conductor) Enjoy a late-night centenary tribute to Stan Ke nton, whose orchestra, during the late 1940s and early 1950s, was the bi ggest jazz attraction in the world, embracing in its ranks many soloists a nd arrangers who went on to have brilliant careers of their own. One of the most creative of all bandleaders, Kenton's penchant for complex and hi ghly structured work could run counter to the expectations of critics and a udiences alike. Still, he kept on moving between dissonance and convent ion, and tonight the BBC Big Band celebrates his legacy, including some o f his classical arrangements, with guest vocalist Claire Martin. There will be no interval
