After a series of groundbreaking albums of adventurous new music, Stan Kenton took his band into the studio on July 8, 1953 to cut a 10" album of standards, uniquely arranged by Bill Russo,. "Portraits On Standards" proved a great success and re-enforced Kenton's jazz credentials. With soloists like Lee Konitz,, Zoot Sims, Conte Candoli, Frank Rosolino and Sal Salvador, the band swung like mad. Added to the original 10" LP are 7 more standards from the period arranged by Kenton with soloists Art Pepper, Bud Shank and Laurindo Almeida.

In 1955 with Mel Lewis on drums and Bill Holman as chief arranger, the Stan Kenton Orchestra swung harder that it ever had or would again. TO celebrate the high caliber of jazz in the band, Kenton booked a Chicago studio in July to document Holman's charts and the great solo work of Charlie Mariano, Bill Perkins, Sam Noto and Carl Fontana.
The aptly named Contemporary Concept, which also included Gerry Mulligan's Limelight is the result. Added to the original album are two more tracks from the session, Stan Kenton's Sunset Tower and Gene Roland's Opus In Chartreuse as well as two more Roland opuses. This milestone in Kenton's recording career is on CD for the first time.
