Free Music Notes for Frankly Basie: Count Basie Plays the Hits of Frank Sinatra
Free Music Review: Impressively timeless
Hit: 5 Stars
A tight band, great arrangements, sophisticated post-bebop solos, and that laid-back Basie feel. Could you ask for more?Free Music Review: Basie tribute to Sinatra
Hit: 5 Stars
The original lp was titled "Count Basie - More Hits of the 50's and 60's". I bought it when I was stationed in Germany in the early 60's. I saw the Basie Band in Augsburg, Germany and they played songs from their new album - "This Time By Basie" - a collection of current songs of the 50's and 60's arranged by Quincy Jones. The "More Hits of the 50's and 60's" was released later as a follow up to "This Time By Basie" with arrangements this time by Billy Byers. The early 60's Basie Band was one of the most powerful big bands of all time. I had looked in vain for this album under the lp's release name untill I realized that the songs were all Frank Sinatra songs and a closer look revealed that a CD had been released under a new name. The CD release of the "Frankly Basie - Count Basie plays the hits of Frank Sinatra" is an excellent album and I highly recommend it to fans of Basie and Sinatra alike.Free Music Review: Flatly disappointed
Hit: 2 Stars
This album disappointed me. It's hard to identify what song is being played even if you've listened to Frank Sinatra for years. There is nothing outstanding about this album. I recommend First Time! Duke Ellington Meets Count Basie.
