Recorded in two days in 1957 and released the following year under the simple title Basie, this album marks a new phase in Count Basie's career and the second formation of the Count Basie Orchestra. The orchestra no longer simply seeks to accompany soloists but acquires its own style, demonstrating that such a formation is not incompatible with wild improvisations. A fireworks display ignited by the arrangements of Neal Hefti and acclaimed by critics. This reissue is part of the Jean-Pierre Leloir Collection, a series of re-pressings with covers illustrated by the famous jazz photographer. Excerpt from the ideal Fnac discography 2017.
