Count Basie and Joe Williams' Greatest Collaboration
A masterpiece of big band jazz, featuring live recordings from London plus unreleased songs.
The steady swing of Basie's orchestra and Williams' deep vocals are in perfect harmony. Solos by virtuosos like Thad Jones and Joe Newman are also highlights, conveying the intensity of the improvisation. This historic recording, released on CD in 1990, brings the live performance to life even more vividly.
