Hit: 5 Stars
THIS IS ONE OF COUNT BASIE'S BEST AND MOST FAMOUS ALBUMS, MADE BACK IN THE MID 1950'S WHEN HE PUT TOGETHER HIS "NEW TESTAMENT" BAND, A SCALED DOWN VERSION OF A TRADTIIONAL BIG BAND (NOW 10 PIECES). GREAT ARRANGEMENTS, GREAT ORCHESTRATION, GREAT SOUND AND A VERY TIGHT BAND PLAYING THEIR HEARTS OUT. EVERY SONG SWINGS TO THE NTH DEGREE.
April in Paris Poster
Japanese 20bit Re-release featuring Eight Bonus Tracks: Shiny Stockings, April in Paris (Alternate Version), Corner Pocket (Alternate Version), Didn't You (Alternate Version), Magic (2 Versions), What Am I Here for You, and Midgets.Count Basie's band endured because of its leader's uncanny ability to put together fresh arrangements and strong soloists while maintaining the band's unique devotion to swing; this CD is among the most enduring of the big band recordings of the 1950s. The title tune is present in a justifiably famous rendition, a performance of swaggering swing and passion that was arranged by organist "Wild Bill" Davis. Frank Foster's "Shiny Stockings," now a jazz standard, made its debut here, while Joe Newman's "Midgets" recasts the band as a bop combo. Throughout the recording are terrific solos by trumpeters Thad Jones and Newman and tenor saxophonists Foster and Frank Wess, all basking in the band's glorious swing. --Stuart Broomer
