Count Basie's sophisticated swing
Titled Easy It, the performance has a relaxed atmosphere yet is full of tension.
This 1976 recording perfectly combines the swing of the Basie Band with sophisticated arrangements. Basie's piano playing remains as simple yet effective as ever, and he masterfully controls the orchestra. This is a mature performance that follows the tradition of big band jazz while incorporating new elements that are in tune with the times.
