A powerful ensemble that follows the classic path of swing.
The Count Basie Orchestra delivers a perfect performance of the music by renowned arranger Neil Hefti, representing the pinnacle of big band jazz.
The contrast between Basie's characteristic use of pauses, exemplified in classics like "Li'l Darlin'," and the explosive brass section is breathtaking. The perfect control of each part and the comfortable groove that permeates the entire album create a top-tier big band sound.
