This 1952 release for TP4 Music saw Stan Kenton's orchestra delve into a structured, conceptual soundscape. The album's title track, "City of Glass," is a prime example of this ambitious, orchestrated jazz.

Stan Kenton is a jazz composer and bandleader from Wichita, best known for his influential, if sometimes polarizing, modernist big band work. The 1952 release of "City of Glass" found Kenton exploring a more abstract, conceptual vein in his discography.
