A small-scale session that brings together the best of Kansas City jazz
A masterpiece that captures the essence of swing jazz.
The small ensemble allows for a high degree of freedom in the performance, allowing each member to fully enjoy their solos. Basie's piano, as always, delivers effective phrases with precise timing, bringing the whole album together. The swinging rhythm section is also superb, encapsulating the charm of the Kansas City style.
