COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Dynamic Big Band Music submitted by Meginator on July 3, 2020, 2:12pm Count Basie’s brand of big-band music is incredibly dynamic, with fantastic interplay between the soloists and the choruses/shared melodies. This whole album has a feel-good quality to it. It’s good music done well, and it stands the test of time.

Pow! The great Count Basie! submitted by KidBlue on February 8, 2022, 1:46pm This album is so well produced, every instrument can be heard all the time. And that’s good, because every instrument is played exceptionally well.
This is the best and most powerful album of jazz I’ve ever heard. It’s big, brassy, big band music from one of the masters of the genre.
