Canadian composer Graettinger lived, like Mozart, only to the age of 34, but unlike Mozart did not go about creating timeless, endlessly pleasing melodies with a universal appeal. His music is white hot, dense, consistently confrontational, and makes revolutionary use of instrumental resources, and he would have had a much easier time making his way, say, at IRCAM in the 1990s than in the commercial big band world of the late '40s and early '50s. Fortunately he had a strong adherent in Stan Kenton, and Capitol Jazz's City of Glass: Stan Kenton Plays Bob Graettinger documents what survives of their collaboration in respect to commercial recordings, ranging from Thermopylae, recorded in New York in 1947, to Graettinger's weird arrangement of the standard "You Go to My Head," dating from September 1952. There was more material, and this has been covered in part by the Ebony Band's Channel Classics disc City of Glass, where Graettinger's efforts stand alongside edgier creations of some of his colleagues on the Kenton arrangement staff, Pete Rugolo and Franklyn Marks. However, Graettinger genuinely stands in a class of his own; his music seldom swings and his thematic ideas range from asymmetrical figures that twist around in the foreground over dense, thick orchestrations to others so fleeting that it takes two or three listens to make sure you heard what you did.
