Artistry in Voices and Brass is an album by the
Stan Kenton Orchestra revisiting their popular compositions with new lyrics composed by
Milt Raskin and arranged by
Pete Rugolo for an 18-member vocal chorus and trombone section recorded in 1963 and released by
Capitol Records.[1][2][3]
The
Allmusic review by Lindsay Planer noted "the results are predictably mixed. ...This proves the old adages that sometimes newer [read: more modern] isn't always better, and too many cooks do indeed spoil the proverbial sonic stew".[4]
