COUNT BASIE

FINEST HOUR
Description:
The big band Count Basie formed in the 1930's is filled with remarkable soloists and powered by a rhythm section of unparalledled drive and suppleness, virtually defined the concept of swing. And thanks to a stable of brilliant arrangers and Basie's unwavering commitment to the art of simplicity, his music remained vital long after the Swing Era was over. This collection brings together some of the highlights of Basie's career and features such stellar sidemen as Lester Young, Jo Jones, and Freddie Green.
