The Ballad Style of Stan Kenton is an album by bandleader and pianist Stan Kenton featuring performances recorded in 1958 and released on the Capitol label.
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow noted "The Ballad Style of Stan Kenton is an unusual set, for other than some muted trumpet, Kenton's melodic piano is the only soloist. The 13 ballads (a dozen standards and a band original) are given restrained treatments which hint at the band's power without overtly expressing it, and the music is both romantic and danceable. An underrated set".
