Unlike his fellow jazz royal Duke Ellington, William
‘Count’ Basie wasn’t a master composer
or arranger. If you’re looking for dazzling instrumental
textures or surprising chord changes, you bought the
wrong disc. But if swing’s your thing, Basie’s
place is central HQ. Sporting some of jazz’s finest
soloists, as well as perhaps its tightest rhythm section,
the Basie band specialized in tunes that bounce with
joy and beg you to shake your bones.
