Too much fury

Vivaldi55

This album contains two tracks worthy of downloading: Roy's Blues and Pete Is A Four Letter Word. The rest of the tracks are pretty bad. Take these two tracks and combine them with all 6 tracks from Journey Into Capricorn. Personnel includes Tony Campise, Roy Reynolds, John Harner, Tim Hagans, Dick Shearer, Peter Erskine.

They Say All Music Guide

For this late-period (1979) Stan Kenton recording, the bandleader decided to present five of his top soloists from the era: baritonist Roy Reynolds, Tony Campise (mainly on flute), trombonist Dick Shearer, drummer Peter Erskine and Ramon Lopez on congas. Kenton himself is featured on piano during two numbers, but none of his sidemen make very strong impressions and the orchestra on the whole sounds like an anonymous college stage band. Fire, Fury and Fun is a lesser effort although Erskine (and trumpeter Tim Hagans) would become far more notable in future years. – Scott Yanow
