Jazz Legend Kenton Calls Country Music National Disgrace
Stan Kenton, 63, told the Nashville Banner by phone from Cedar Lake Indiana that country and western music is an absolute national disgrace and the lowest form of contemporary music. He said he does not want a revolution in Tennessee but urged public criticism of Nashville's style. Kenton follows Buddy Rich who in January derided country music as appealing only to minds of 4 year olds.
