This is the first version of City of Glass Bob Graettinger wrote for the Stan Kenton Progressive Jazz Orchestra.
Musically it is very different from the version Graettinger wrote three years later for the Innovations in Modern Music Orchestra. Only the titles of the three movements are similar.

City of Glass (1948) can be heard and seen on YouTube, played by the David Kweksilber Bigband.
