There is anunmatched, limitless vitality to this band led by Count Basie. It has ensembledrive, and its charts are vital jazz statements which demand the best of soloists.Joe Newman, Frank Wess, Frank Foster, and Benny Powells playing is inspired andmeaningful, while Joe Williams singing is vibrantly effective. The rhythmsection, with the great Freddie Green, Eddie Jones and Sonny Payne is theultimate basic of the band, and, of course, the key man here is The Counthimself. All musicians at the top of their games, the crowd is fanaticallyenthusiastic and the band returns their enthusiasm in full. Here is Basies bandat its best!
