...dusty Ontario lake town of Port Stanley (pop. 1,480). The fish flies swarmed, and the rickety Stork Club Ballroom had just disgorged 800 jazz fans. By 2:25 a.m., all 23 bandsmen had clambered aboard the big silver, red and white bus, followed by Bandleader Stan Kenton carrying a cardboard carton with 30 ham sandwiches. Somebody snapped on the switch of a blue light that signified drinking time, and the bus began to roll...
...likes of the two strapping young men from the tiny (pop. 218) Ozarks mining town of Alba, Mo. At third base for the champion New York Yankees stands Cletis Leroy Boyer, 25. At the same hot corner for the National League's revitalized St. Louis Cardinals is Kenton Lloyd Boyer, 30. By his performance so far this season, each could lay claim to a singular honor: classiest third baseman in baseball...
...Stan Kenton: The Romantic Approach (Capitol). A good big band is rare, and a new one these days is rarer. This band is one of the best Kenton ever put together. The instrumentation is unique even for one of popular music's most tireless experimenters: no strings, generous contingents of trumpets, trombones, saxes, and an instrument of Kenton's own invention -the mellophonium, midway between trumpet and trombone.

...when the weather stops on double zero. They are what Owner George Hamid calls the "high blue collar types." To keep them coming, Hamid gives them much more than corny carny fare, pays top fees for entertainment headliners. Among this season's top drawers: the Stan Kenton and Glenn Miller bands, Xavier Cugat, Charlie Spivak and Gene Krupa, along with such juvenescent goldbugs as Bobby Rydell, Chubby Checker, Paul Anka, and the comparable Fabian, whose singing debut was made at the pier's Kiddies Theater a short time ago, when he was twelve...
...best friend, Jazz Saxophonist Paul Desmond. Once short on toys, he can no longer make the claim, has filled his rented home in West Hollywood's hills with 14 radios, four TV sets and two hi-fi sets that blare until 4 a.m., wearing out his Stan Kenton and Dave Brubeck records. The unshaven campus rat looking for work has become a hard-working future millionaire in need of a shave: he attacks himself twice a day with one of eleven electric razors. Standing 5 ft. 10 in., weighing 150 lbs., he eats little, smokes seldom, drinks...
