The Innovations Orchestra is a compilation album by pianist and bandleader Stan Kenton's "Innovations" Orchestra featuring performances recorded in 1950 and 1951.

The CD includes the albums Innovations in Modern Music and Stan Kenton Presents and was released by Capitol in 1997.

[1][2][3][4] The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow observed, "The music was quite uncommercial, complex, and advanced with the emphasis on the arrangements rather than the soloists".

[5] In All About Jazz William Grim wrote, "The Innovations Orchestra was quite capable of swinging and it did much of the time.

But it was also capable of producing music of an extraordinarily high quality that makes one think in addition to making one's toes tap".
