{"product_id":"april-in-paris-vme-remastered","title":"April In Paris (VME - Remastered)","description":"Amazon.com\n\nCount 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\n\nProduct Description\n\nIn 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0000047CS\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKQOV002C2K_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Count Basie\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
