Count Basie Basie Jam CD (1973)

Basie Jam 2 album

$10.65

Digitally remastered by Joe Tarantino (1987, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). This 1973 recording, the first of two Count Basie albums for the Fantasy label highlighting impromptu jam sessions, is something of a musical party. Heard here with longtime pals Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Harry "Sweets" Edison, and others, the Count performs a set of bluesy originals. Basie and company alight in a variety of musical dialogs-joyous and heartrending, playful and stalwart. As one might expect, each player rises to the occasion. And then some. There can be little doubt that Basie's marvelous sensitivity as an accompanist catalyzes ...

Count Basie Mostly Blues...And Some Others CD (1983)

Basie Jam 2 CD music

$13.95

In his final years, Count Basie was often heard joking that he had forgotten how to play everything except the blues. In what was to be one of his last albums (his last small group studio session), The Count calls on old pals to play what, irrefutably, he hadn't lost--the blues. The repertoire Basie chooses more than lives up to the legendary bandleader's standards. All the tunes are performed with spirit and joy. As one might expect, much of the album retains a trad jazz flair, especially "I'll Always Be in Love with You," a tune which is reminiscent of the classic tune, "On the Sunny Side of the Street." On "Jaws," Basie hands the torch over to Eddie "Lockjaw" ...

Count Basie Basie Jam 3 CD (1976)

Basie Jam 2 music CDs

$8.59

Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1992, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Count Basie is best known for his swing orchestras (big bands). But on BASIE JAM 3, we hear the legendary pianist "jamming" with an all-star octet. In truth, Basie's music has always been based around spontaneity and fun-the hallmarks of jamming. Basie, the consummate entertainer, always encouraged playful, extended improvisations from his sidemen. BASIE JAM 3 is consistent with the acclaimed band leader's credo. Soloists Benny Carter, Al Grey, Clark Terry, and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis should require no formal introduction. These four horn men have developed highly personalized styles of improvisation that have since influenced a whole new generation of jazz players. Their keen and insightful-sometimes sensitive, sometimes bold-improvisations epitomize modern jazz at its best. All of the musicians heard on the distinctly blues-based BASIE JAM 3 render great performances. Basie and company swing with elegance and grit. Standout tracks such as the barn ...

Count Basie Gifted Ones CD (1977)

Basie Jam 2 songs

$9.65

Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1996, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). On the face of it, THE GIFTED ONES is an unlikely pairing of musicians. Though it's a collaboration between Count Basie, one of the icons of swing, and Dizzy Gillespie, one of the pioneers of bebop, their musical styles are more congruent than one might think. Both musicians are firmly rooted in the blues, as we see most poignantly on "Back to the Land," a composition they wrote together. Here, the band plays a slow 12/8 groove, while Gillespie soliloquizes over the top with stark yet pointed melodic jabs. Basie solos in his trademark minimalistic, "swing low" fashion, while bassist Ray Brown and drummer Mickey Roker keep the tempo rock steady. On the traditional tune, "Saint James Infirmary," the quartet harks back to a kind of New ...

Count Basie Kansas City 5 CD (1977)

Basie Jam 2 album

$9.89

Late in his career, Basie began casually putting together small groups for the Pablo Records label, naming them in accordance with the number of participating musicians. KANSAS CITY 5 represents the first of these groups and most notably features vibraphonist Milt Jackson. From beginning to end, Jackson adds excitement and energy to the music. His fluid, expressive lines seem to float garrulously atop Basie's spare accompaniment. This is most evident on the wistful ballad "Memories of You." Very few jazz musicians create the light and buoyant swing that Basie does. His understated pianistic style never trounces over soloists but offers them ...
