В 1939 году организовал оркестр из 13 музыкантов.

В 1952 году Кентон вернулся к свингу (аранжировщики Bill Holman , Gerry Mulligan , Gene Roland , Johnny Richards ) и вновь добился широкого признания. Среди солистов оркестра были Lee Konitz , Zoot Sims , Frank Rosolino , Conte Candoli , Lennie Niehaus , Richie Kamuca . Кентон был женат 3 раза, второй его супругой была вокалистка Ann Richards .Альбомы исполнителя на сайте: Stan Kenton - The Best Of Stan Kenton (1943-1961) Stan Kenton & His Orchestra - 1945 The Chronological Classics 898 (1996) Stan Kenton & His Orchestra - A Presentation Of Progressive Jazz (1947) Stan Kenton - Stan Kenton Presents (1950) Stan Kenton - The Innovations Orchestra (1950-51) Stan Kenton & His Orchestra - 1950-1951 The Chronological Classics 1255 (2002) Stan Kenton - Easy Go (1950-52) Stan Kenton & His Greatest Orchestra - Summer Of '51 (1987) Stan Kenton - On The Air (1951-1952) Stan Kenton - New Concepts Of Artistry In Rhythm (1952) Stan Kenton & His Orchestra - Concerts In Miniature Volume II (1952) Stan Kenton & His Orchestra - Concerts In Miniature Volume Six (1952) Stan Kenton & His Orchestra - Concerts In Miniature Volume 11 (1953) Stan Kenton & His Orchestra - Concerts In Miniature Volume 16 (1953) Stan Kenton & His Orchestra - Concerts In Miniature Volume 18 (1953) Stan Kenton & His Orchestra - Concerts In Miniature Volume 23 (1953) Stan Kenton - Live!
