Our Take

Count Basie swings onto the scene with "High Voltage," and let me tell you, this album is electrifying in all the right ways. With his signature big band sound, Basie delivers track after track of toe-tapping, finger-snapping goodness that will have you grooving all night long.

From the moment the horns blare on the opening track, you know you're in for a wild ride. Basie's piano playing is as smooth as silk, effortlessly gliding through each song with a sense of grace and precision that only comes from years of experience. "High Voltage" is a masterclass in swing music, with Basie and his bandmates hitting every note with absolute perfection.

But what really sets this album apart is its energy. Each song crackles with a palpable excitement, like a live wire ready to spark at any moment. It's impossible to sit still while listening to "High Voltage" - you'll find yourself up and dancing before you know it.

In a world full of bland, cookie-cutter music, Count Basie shines like a beacon of light. "High Voltage" is a reminder of the power of great musicianship and a testament to Basie's enduring talent. So do yourself a favour and plug into this album - you won't be disappointed.
