stan kenton - epilogue lyrics

[verse 1]
well, there you have it
a representative record of our music
over more than a decade of growth and development
a record of hard work, and sometimes of discouragement and failure
but on the whole, we’ve had perhaps more than our share of success
and i personally am deeply grateful
for the many times i’ve known the excitement
of bringing to enthusiastic audiences nеw music in which i sincerely beliеve

[verse 2]
maintaining an orchestra is a continuing experiment
a gamble involving many people
a leader cannot survive without the inspiration and encouragement
of those around him
his musicians must be in accord with his ideals
for no orchestra can give its best if its members do not believe in the music
on his part, the leader must have faith in the concepts of his men
he must also respect and encourage the efforts of his colleagues
his manager, his promoter, his agent, his recording company
so that their important contributions can be made effective

[verse 3]
our organization, the kenton band, has been most fortunate over the years
in its complex personal, creative, and business relationships
in the early days, especially, there were many of our associates
whose faith gave us much+needed encouragement
and i like to feel that our own hard work and continuing development
has in some measure justified that faith
i came to lead a band because i wanted so much to be part of
the development of the thing i felt and loved most
the music of jazz
today i still feel that need more strongly than any other
and with the help of new musicians, new ideas, and new composers
i look forward enthusiastically to the future
and the opportunities of productive experiment
building on the rich jazz experience we’ve all shared
we are on our way, i’m sure, to creating a more mature modern music
a music more expressive of the exciting, dynamic times in which we live
