At Birdland 1956 by Count Basie on CD
This 1997 CD released for the first time 22 selections (plus two brief renditions of "One O'Clock Jump") by the 1956 Count Basie big band. These live performances are fairly typical of the orchestra which had recently begun its long renaissance. Joe Williams takes a couple of vocals; there are plenty of tenor solos by Frank Foster and Frank Wess; the Basie rhythm section swings away; among the many arrangers represented are Neal Hefti, Ernie Wilkins, Jimmy Mundy, Nat Pierce and Buster Harding; additionally, a few of the numbers were never recorded in the studios. The excellent technical quality of these radio broadcasts and the well-rounded program make this a definitive live outing for the Count Basie band of the mid-'50s. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
