The Stage Door Swings is an album by bandleader and pianist Stan Kenton featuring performances of Broadway musical tunes recorded in 1958 and released on the Capitol label.
Reception
The Allmusic review by John Bush noted "Kenton's band of 1958 didn't boast the firepower of earlier editions, but new arrivals Jack Sheldon and Bill Trujillo contribute a lot".
