Adventures In Jazz is the Grammy Award winning album for the Best Jazz Performance – Large Group (Instrumental) category in 1963. The LP was recorded by Stan Kenton and his orchestra in late 1961 but not released until about a year later in November 1962. This would be Kenton’s second Grammy honor in as many years with the first being Kenton’s West Side Story winning the Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album in 1962. Adventures In Jazz was also nominated for Best Engineered recording (other than classical and novelty) for the 1963 Grammys.

Kenton – Wagner is an album by the Stan Kenton Orchestra performing jazz arrangements of Richard Wagner’s compositions, recorded in 1964 and released by Capitol Records. The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow noted “Somehow Kenton turns Wagner’s music into jazz, capturing the intense emotion, pomposity and drama with daring ideas. Not for all tastes, this LP was one of Stan Kenton’s last innovative recordings”.
