The Lang-Worth Transcriptions by Count Basie on CD
Count Basie's 1944 radio transcriptions are reissued on this CD. Most interesting is the fact that this was the largely undocumented period (due to the musicians' recording strike) that Lester Young was back with the Basie orchestra. Young, Buddy Tate, Harry Edison, and Dicky Wells are the main soloists in addition to the leader. Thirteen of the songs are mostly heated instrumentals and there are also vocals along the way from Earle Warren (four so-so numbers), Jimmy Rushing, Thelma Carpenter, and Maxine Johnson. Unfortunately, the complete personnel is not listed in the CD liner notes, although they are provided in this review, but otherwise this music is recommended without reservation to swing fans. Among the highlights are "Down for Double," "Nine-Twenty Special," "Red Bank Boogie," "Swing Shift Swing," and "Rockabye Basie." ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
