Count Basie and His Orchestra - Basic Basie

Basic Basie

By:  Count Basie and His Orchestra

Very Good Condition. (Includes original artwork inserts, jewel case and Cd, all in very good condition.)

This is a short album, but it is swingin' throughout. The M Squad theme is a very groovy medium tempo blues, and As Long as I Live and I've Got the World on a String are also great reworkings of classic standards. The Count didn't record many albums during this period (the early seventies), so this really is a gem worth checking out.
