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]
