Performer: Count Basie
Artist: Louie Bellson; John Heard Engineer: Val Valentin Producer: Norman Granz Distributor: Fantasy (distributor) Notes: Personnel: Count Basie, Oscar Peterson (acoustic & electric pianos); John Heard (bass); Louie Bellson (drums). Recorded at Group IV Recording Studios, Los Angeles, California on September 20, 1977. Includes original liner notes by Benny Green. Digitally remastered by Joe Tarantino (Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Recorded three years after their first full album together, this second encounter between Count Basie and Oscar Peterson on twin pianos (this time with a quartet) is as strong as the original, alternating standards with blues. Both Peterson and Basie have one number apiece on electric piano, making this album historic as well as quite musical. ~ Scott Yanow
Simply put, Count Basie led the most swinging of the classic big bands. His youthful education in playing stride piano in New York was meshed with a deep immersion in the hard-swinging Kansas City jazz scene of the early 1930s. As Basie moved from sideman to bandleader, his tight-knit ensemble eventually came to rival Duke Ellington's group. The Basie orchestra's perfectly interlocking rhythm section provided a springboard for a succession of jazz giants--most notably tenor man Lester Young--to launch their solo excursions. Basie's big-band vision was so strong that his group continued for decades after his passing.
