should study music eventually she made him understand that he was meant for music but it was not until after a siege of saxophone trumpet and even banjo that he finally reverted to the piano stan graduated from high school in 1930 during the depression he was a little unhappy that his family couldn't afford to send him to a uni versity to study music the following years kenton spent playing in beer joints in california having the price of dinner one day wondering what would happen the next in 1941 after being assistant musi cal director at earl carroll's theater restaurant he organized his own band composed of musicians who like himself felt the need for music to rise from its stagnant state at that time the next four months were spent in balboa calif and during this time word spread
