Our Take

Count Basie's latest release, "Basie In London," offers a delightful blend of swing and sophistication that will have you tapping your feet and snapping your fingers in no time. Recorded during his legendary 1965 tour of the UK, this album captures the energy and charm of Basie's live performances with his orchestra.

From the moment the first notes of "Splanky" hit your ears, you'll be transported to a smoky jazz club in Soho, surrounded by the sounds of brass and piano that only Basie and his band can deliver. The arrangements are tight, the solos are fiery, and the rhythm section is as solid as ever.

Tracks like "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "Lullaby Of Birdland" showcase Basie's impeccable piano skills and the dynamic interplay between the members of his orchestra. The guest appearances from British jazz luminaries like Tubby Hayes and Ronnie Scott add an extra layer of excitement to the proceedings.

While some may argue that Basie's sound is a bit old-fashioned, there's no denying the sheer joy and exuberance that he brings to every performance. "Basie In London" is a testament to the enduring power of swing music and the timeless appeal of a true musical icon. Sit back, relax, and let Count Basie take you on a swinging journey through the streets of London. Trust me, you won't regret it.
