The Good Stuff

Count Basie

BASIE AT BIRDLAND

Roulette / EMI     1961 / 2007

Notes : If the repertoire on this album is heavily weighted toward the Blues, this is, after all, at its core, a Kansas City band and one that is able to show the infinite variety and invention that can be drawn from this simple form.  Sixteen swinging men at their peak, off the road and playing at the club they call home -- it doesn't get any better!
