Live at Redlands University is a double live album by American jazz musician Stan Kenton and his orchestra, released in late 1970 by Creative World Records. It was the initial release on Kenton's newly formed record company after he broke his relationship with Capitol Records. Recording for the album took place in Southern California at Redlands University in August of 1970.
The album's influence on future large ensemble jazz composition and arranging has led critiques to acknowledge it as an influential album of the later Kenton orchestras and of the 1970s. The album is a class production, and musically a success to interpret the Kenton style in contemporary terms in a live setting.[1]
