4.0 out of 5 stars A good compilation, March 16, 1999

This review is from: Atomic Swing (Audio CD)

This is a nicely priced collection of some of the best tunes by the "New Testament" Basie band of the late fifties and early sixties. Great charts, great performances, and high quality recordings make this a good starter for someone interested in the later Basie band. (If you're looking for a good buy in the early Basie recordings, get the "Swingsation" series Basie album.)

This review is from: Atomic Swing (Audio CD)

This is an excellent Swing CD of classic Basie with tunes from the 50's and 60's. An awesome CD for those just starting to listen to swing. It is very easy to listen to and gets you jumpin'. It is truely the Count at his best.
