5.0 out of 5 stars
Basie tribute to Sinatra,
By Roger K. Hock (Parkersburg, WV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Frankly Basie: Plays Hits of Frank Sinatra (Audio CD)
The original lp was titled "Count Basie - More Hits of the 50's and 60's". I bought it when I was stationed in Germany in the early 60's. I saw the Basie Band in Augsburg, Germany and they played songs from their new album - "This Time By Basie" - a collection of current songs of the 50's and 60's arranged by Quincy Jones. The "More Hits of the 50's and 60's" was released later as a follow up to "This Time By Basie" with arrangements this time by Billy Byers. The early 60's Basie Band was one of the most powerful big bands of all time. I had looked in vain for this album under the lp's release name untill I realized that the songs were all Frank Sinatra songs and a closer look revealed that a CD had been released under a new name. The CD release of the "Frankly Basie - Count Basie plays the hits of Frank Sinatra" is an excellent album and I highly recommend it to fans of Basie and Sinatra alike.

Impressively timeless,
By mako (SF Bay Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Frankly Basie: Plays Hits of Frank Sinatra (Audio CD)
A tight band, great arrangements, sophisticated post-bebop solos, and that laid-back Basie feel. Could you ask for more?

Basie CD,
By Alston (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Frankly Basie: Plays Hits of Frank Sinatra (Audio CD)
As a huge Count Basie fan for many years, any Basie CD is a desirable item for me. The Sinatra angle just makes it even better!
