Our Take

Step right up, chaps and chapettes, because we're diving headfirst into the swinging world of Count Basie Orchestra's latest masterpiece, "Basie Swings the Blues." And let me tell you, this album is more infectious than a dodgy pint at your local pub. From the moment the horns kick in on the opening track, you know you're in for a wild ride. The Basie Orchestra brings a level of energy and precision that would make even the Queen's Guard tap their toes. Each note is like a perfectly brewed cup of tea - smooth, rich, and oh so satisfying. But it's not just about the music on this record. The arrangements are as tight as a pair of skinny jeans on a hipster, with each soloist getting their chance to shine brighter than a London streetlamp. It's a true showcase of the talent and camaraderie within this legendary ensemble. And let's not forget about the man himself, Mr. Count Basie. His piano playing is like a secret weapon, weaving in and out of the mix with the grace and precision of a skilled sword fighter. The man is a legend for a reason, folks. So grab your top hat and monocle, because "Basie Swings the Blues" is a musical journey you won't want to miss. It's classy, it's cool, and it's everything you'd expect from the Count Basie Orchestra. Cheerio!
