Editorial Reviews
Product Description
When Basie Reformed his Big Band in the 1950s, He Managed to Become Entirely New by Sticking with What Had Made Him Great from the Start. And in the Process, Basie Achieved Some of the Most Extraordinary Success of his Career. The Original Reel to Reel Tapes were the Source for Most of this Release which Contains 146 Tracks on Eight Cds, Including Seven Previously-unreleased Recordings and Three Alternates Not in the Vaults at Universal Music. Chris Albertson's Liner Notes Take the Reader Through Each and Every Recording, in Addition to Laying Out What was Happening to the Band Outside the Booth; Details that Suggest He's Had Access to Everyone's Date Book from the Period. The Complete Discography Clears Up Many Inaccuracies and Inconsistencies that have Bedeviled the Release of this Material for a Half-a-century.
