This review is from: The Jazz Collector Edition - Count Basie Orchestra (Audio CD)

This LASERLIGHT label JAZZ COLLECTOR EDITION of the Count Basie orchestra opens and closes with two different radio transcriptions of Basie's theme, the One O'Clock Jump. The latter is more improvisational, "from vamp to coda," as the Count says.

Both the first track and song #2 have a 33 1/3 rpm thump. These two plus the third selection are in marvelous high fidelity. Selections #4 - 9 are of lesser sound spectrum, mostly mid-range. The last six songs return to full range. None of the fifteen selections show groove wear or other vinyl anomalies, only a touch of tape hiss in spots.

Every performance is top shelf, most have evidence of their radio origin, either announcer or an indication of being dubbed from a live band remote.

Highly recommended for dance and Big Band aficionados.

Also available, a second Delta/Laserlight CD of JAZZ COLLECTOR EDITION - COUNT BASIE ORCHESTRA, and a TONY BENNETT in Concert With COUNT BASIE disc.
