 Rating: - An All "Sammy Nestico" Originals Make This A 5-star For Me.......although most of these are lessor known (I'm guessing) to the average fan. Nonetheless, after listening to it several times before writing this, I have to upgrade it to a "5" from a "4" because of the really cool colorations (which still sound good after all these years)of the instrument blendings on "Freckle Face" and "Orange Sherbet", four trombones,bari and flute on the former and the same with the addition of trumpet on the latter. This was recorded in 1975 when the Basie orchestra started a big comeback by strengthening the band with the addition of drummer Butch Miles, in the school of Buddy Rich, the additions of Frank Szabo on trumpet, Danny turner, alto sax and the return of Charlie Fowlkes on bari.

Great big band arrangements executed with style and perfection. I love Basie's very basic piano style along with explosive horns and a driving rhythm section. Outstanding!! Not unlike other Basie albums, but you won't be disappointed. Rating: - Lood Deeper!I generally agree with othe reviewer but there is more here than meets the eye. First, the Basie Band recorded better in a live audience situation----more drive, more excitement, more fun! But not here. Perhaps the audience loss is made up by wonderful technical recording. There was also some interplay going on which we can't see. Second, the Boss's piano has a different sound-----a litte harpsichord feel which is not disturbing but interesting.

Buddy Rich was the best drummer ever. Butch Miles is the best big band drummer ever. Rich was the band. ...

The band, soloists, arranger (Sammy Nestico) and recording engineers were spot-on for this one! Classic late Basie! BUY IT!! Rating:  - good but too shortThis CD contains very high quality recordings of some excellent, classic Basie songs. I highly recommend it, though I do wish it contained more tracks. |
