Count Basie & His Orchestra & Joe Williams - Back To Basie & The Blues mp3 album

The Count Basie Orchestra is a 16 to 18 piece big band, one of the most prominent jazz performing groups of the swing era, founded by Count Basie in 1935 and recording regularly from 1936. Despite a brief disbandment at the beginning of the 1950s, the band survived long past the Big Band era itself and the death of Basie in 1984. It continues as a 'ghost band'.

Joe Williams had enlivened the Count Basie band for so long that it was natural for Basie and company to return the favor on his 1959 solo LP for Roulette. And with a trio of Basie arrangers - Frank Foster, Ernie Wilkins, Thad Jones - providing charts for a rather small group here, the results are excellent. Williams focuses in by opening with his two most famous Basie-era songs, "Every Day I Have the Blues" and "Baby, Won't You Please Come Home. The arrangements and playing are excellent, as could be expected from this group, including Jones and Snooky Young on trumpet, Frank Foster and Billy Mitchell on tenor, Freddie Green on guitar, and, of course, Basie himself on piano.
