Count Basie Orchestra
Given the paucity of Basie recordings from the 1940s issued by his own label, the quality and content of this collection of 14 songs cut exclusively for radio in 1944 is scandalously good. The tracks, including a long version of "One O'Clock Jump" with an extended piano introduction by Basie, a hot version of "Lady Be Good" with guest clarinetist ...

This is a three-CD budget collection of many great swing tunes performed by the biggest names in swing music. The sound quality is good, as are the performances, but the lack of discographical information could be frustrating to jazz aficionados. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide

The original band had played host to some of the most legendary names in jazz: Lester Young, Harry ...

Count Basie's 1944 radio transcriptions are reissued on this CD. Most interesting is the fact that this was the largely undocumented period (due to the musicians' recording strike) that Lester Young was back with the Basie orchestra. Young, Buddy Tate, Harry Edison, and Dicky Wells are the main soloists in addition to the leader. Thirteen of the ...
