Count Basie Big Band - The Best Of The Count Basie Big Band
Review by Eduardo Bonsi
The Best Of The Count Basie Big Band is a collection of some of the most iconic and memorable tunes from the legendary jazz ensemble. Count Basie Big Band has been a prominent figure in the jazz scene for decades, and this album is a testament to their incredible talent and musicianship.
The album features a diverse range of tracks, from the upbeat and energetic "Jumpin' at the Woodside" to the soulful and melancholic "April in Paris." Each song showcases the incredible musicianship of the band members, with Count Basie's piano playing anchoring the ensemble and providing a solid foundation for the other musicians to build upon.
The arrangements are tight and well-executed, with each instrument contributing to the overall sound and feel of the piece. The rhythm section is particularly impressive, with the drums and bass providing a steady groove that propels the music forward.
