This review is from: Basie & Beyond (Audio CD)

Great alblum for swing big band lovers. Quincy has returned to the jazz fold and turned out a great big band alblum. Great songs and performances. Highly reccommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great choice for swing/bigband fans fans, October 25, 2000

jr (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Basie & Beyond (Audio CD)

I would never normally choose a Quincy alblum due to the fact that he left the jazz fold many years ago, however this tribute to Basie really swings! Great songs and performances. A great choice for any big band fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quincy, Sammy and the Count...perfect together!!, May 5, 2001

B. J. Lane "jazzbo" (Levittown, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Basie & Beyond (Audio CD)

It was a thrill to hear Quincy and a smoking big band for the first time in far too many years...and with Sammy on the premises, this was a great concept, paying collective tribute to the great Count Basie (for whom both once arranged).

I can smell another Grammy for Q next year!!!
