The Jazz Compositions of Dee Barton is an album by bandleader Stan Kenton recorded in 1967 by Capitol Records.

The album has become the most important artistic achievement by the Kenton organization from that late 1960s era of otherwise desperate attempts at achieving commercial success. The album was different and was not cast in the typical Kenton style most of his fans were familiar with. When the album is heard with broader ears there are "intriguing colors and attractive themes interacting with typical Kentonian sounds and dissonance." Trombonist Jim Amlotte sums up this album well, "This is what Stan wanted. He didn't want a copy-cat of what had gone before. Stan didn't like to look back - he was always moving forward to the next thing." - Wikipedia

Michael Cimino – „Die Letzten beißen die Hunde“ (1974)

Ein Film wie ein Banküberfall: chaotisch, brutal, nervös, unvergesslich. “Thunderbolt and Lightfoot” ist einer der Streifen, die im Rückblick fast unwirklich wirken – wie ein Traum der New-Hollywood-Ära, in dem alles gleichzeitig in sich zusammenfällt und sich dann wieder erhebt. Das Regiedebüt von Michael Cimino, mit Clint Eastwood und Jeff Bridges. (ARTE)

Adventures in Jazz is a 1962 album by the Stan Kenton Orchestra.[1] The album won a Grammy Award in the category for Best Jazz Performance – Large Group (Instrumental) category in 1963. This was Kenton's second Grammy, after his first received for Kenton's West Side Story in 1962.

.."Turtle Talk" starts the album and is the "opening act" for Dee Barton as a composer and new trombonist for the Kenton Orchestra. Barton would later take the drum chair on the Kenton band showing the multi-talents he brought to the table for this group and later studio work he would do. Both "Turtle Talk" and "Waltz of the Prophets" use the same harmonic pallet of relying on augmented chords and whole tone scales....Barton later went on to fame (like other Kenton writers Pete Rugolo and Lennie Niehaus) as a composer for films such as Clint Eastwood's Play Misty for Me.. - Wikipedia
