Lush Interlude is an album by bandleader and pianist Stan Kenton featuring performances of Kenton's signature compositions from the 1940s in new arrangements featuring a large string section along with the Kenton trombones. The trumpet and sax sections were omitted and Bud Shank's solo flute is the only woodwind utilized. Recorded in 1958, the album was released on the Capitol label.[1][2][3]

Allmusic[4]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow noted "Some of the music is quite romantic (particularly "Interlude" and "Opus in Pastels") and the renditions of such tunes as "Concerto to End All Concertos," "Collaboration," and "Artistry in Rhythm" certainly sound much different than the originals. A successful and often-haunting effort, well worth exploring".[4]
