Count Basie Orchestra "Swinging, Singing, Playing"

Biography

Count Basie was among the most important bandleaders of the swing era. With the exception of a brief period in the early '50s, he led a big band from 1935 until his death almost 50 years later, and the band continued to perform after he died. Basie's orchestra was characterized by a light, swinging rhythm section that he led from the piano, lively ensemble work, and generous soloing. Basie was not… Read more in Amazon's Count Basie Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing, June 11, 2000
By A Customer
LAGQ is wonderful and this CD is a great compilation of some of their best work to date. Extremely versatile musicians, they perform swing music, Sousa march music, a Main Street Electrical Parade tune from Disneyland, as well as music by Copland and Praetorius. It's amazing how they are able to produce the sounds they do. A great compilation and one that would nicely add to your LAGQ collection or a great CD to start that collection!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Not until recently did I know about this guitar four. Hearing a number of their songs on internet classical radio, I decided I'd try this one.

What a great surprise --- their arrangements of Copeland to Sousa to Praetorius are excellent and in taste. I'll be venturing into their other works.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is only a warning, September 19, 2004
By M. Yarus "yardos" (Boulder, CO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The LAGQ are fine players, and the music here is first rate as a summary of what they do, or for any purpose. HOWEVER, the transfer to CD on my disc was very poorly chosen, so that the top octave and a half was mostly missing (worse on some pieces than others, though). This takes the snap! out of guitar strings and notably attenuates your ability to tell what the 4 are doing with guitar timbre and the like. So, if you have wide-range audio gear, you might want to look elsewhere for an introduction to these players.

5.0 out of 5 stars LAGQ is classical guitar at its best and this is the best of the best.
This CD is the best of the best in acoustical guitar. Being classical guitarists, on this CD LAGQ is like Pavoratti doing a ho down.
