Count Basie ⁽²⁰⁾

Count Basie led one of the most propulsive and joyful big bands in jazz history — spare piano, the All-American Rhythm Section, and a book full of riff-based swing that still sounds like nothing else. From the Decca sides through the classic Verve and Roulette albums, the Basie band never lost its ability to swing hard. All professionally cleaned and graded.
