CD Reviews

One word: Wow!

Candace Scott | Lake Arrowhead, CA, USA | 04/09/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the most economical and best multi-disc set there is on Basie. It's an awesome collection of the preeminent Basie band of the 30's, extending to later work from the 60's, enhanced by kickin' arrangements by Neal Hefti. Hefti is better known for working with Sinatra in the 50's, but I feel his work with Basie is more innovative and vibrant than his collaboration with Frank. Another plus is the sound quality on these discs, which greatly surpases anything Basie recorded in the Depression. You can really hear the brass section, especially when you pump up the volume, and how can you not do that considering this is the inimitable Basie? The trumpet solos really soar and Basie's distinctive one-fingered approach to the piano is highlighted by the mixing here. My two favorite tracks have got to be the fantastic Swinging the Blues, closely followed by Jumpin' at the Woodside, in a kickin' arrangement. Again, the arrangements on these tracks is first rate and the sound quality is awesome.I prefer the Basie band in a live setting, when they would always pull out the stops and just swing it to the ceiling. Check out Basie at the Sands for an example of his band in a live forum. Otherwise, this collection is stellar all the way, especially in the price department!"

Great Swinging Bargain Basie!

"This economical box set of the great Count Basie is a real treasure.

Basie led one of the best swing bands of the era, right up there with Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman.

The songs included in this set cover a wide range of Basie's body of work.

The sound quality is mostly excellent, although 1 or 2 of the very early tunes have a bit of light scratchiness to them.

Also included is an informative liner notes booklet.

As with every Proper box set I've bought, this set offers excellent music and a great value."
