About this item

Amazon.com 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 Product Description In the '50s, Count Basie reassembled his orchestra. A more disciplined unit than the band of the '30s and '40s, it was every bit as exciting - and thoroughly up-to-date. Which didn't stop the band from making it's greatest hit from a 1932 chestnut: "April in Paris." One of THE classic Basie LPs, it's been remastered from the original session tapes and includes 6 previously unissued tracks.
