Review 1
(4-CD BOXED SET)
This lovingly assembled set presents a rich and musically inspiring overview of Basie's Pablo recordings. The live material on Disc 1 includes big band sessions captured in Santa Monica ('72) and Japan ('78) as well as all-star ensembles at the Montreux Jazz Festival ('75 and '77). Disc 2 focuses on small groups, with luminaries like Oscar Peterson, Zoot Sims, and Benny Carter, while Disc 3 is all big band, featuring some of the great Basie soloists: Al Grey, Jimmy Forrest, Freddie Green, Eric Dixon. The set concludes with a sampling of his work with vocalists, including Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Joe Turner. |
