Product Details

Count Basie's Kansas City orchestra redefined what a big band could do, built on a blues-drenched rhythm section and a stable of soloists, including tenor saxophonists Lester Young and Herschel Evans, whose contrasting styles gave the late 1930s band its essential tension. These recordings capture the Basie sound at its most elemental, when the groove was the argument and every chart left room to breathe.

This title is part of the aggressively priced, ongoing Priceless Jazz series featuring great artists, eye-catching graphics and informative liner notes. Tracks here include "Honeysuckle Rose," "One O'Clock Jump," "Time Out," "Topsy," "Swingin' the Blues," "Blue And Sentimental," "Texas Shuffle," "Swinging at the Daisy Chain," "Roseland Shuffle," "Boogie Woogie (I May Be Wrong)," "Jive at Five," "Oh, Lady Be Good" and more. [Note: This product is an authorized CD-R and is manufactured on demand].
