5.0 out of 5 stars AwEsOmE!, December 8, 1999
Ray Brown's bass just DOMINATES this set, and Basie never sounded better on the piano or organ then in this trio setting. Bellson is great too, swinging with brushes and cymbals. But anyone even remotely a fan of Ray Brown should snap this up right now!

5.0 out of 5 stars fun with the Count, June 8, 2008
By Deliego "keep fit" (San Diego, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
Hey, to be able to listen to Count Basie without the big band sound is a joy. This is a great CD. One that ought to be in every jazz listener's collection. Try it!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars a fantastically nuanced album., June 30, 2008
a fantastically nuanced album! the ear is not bombarded with clanging of instruments, the sometimes barely audible instrumentation forces one to get one's ear closer to the pieces. the brain fills in all the rest. a very smart album.
