A jazz jam where masters' improvisations spark off
A jam session unfolded on the stage of Montreux. A work in which various soloists freely weave together sounds.
Count Basie's light and precise piano playing underpins the album, while the soloists take turns developing their solos in a relay. The tension and ease of improvisation intertwine, capturing the unpredictable developments of the music, along with the enthusiasm of the audience. The boldness of a jam is complemented by Basie's signature sense of timing and humor, drawing the listener naturally into the atmosphere of the venue.
