Basie has managed to assemble an ensemble that can thrill both the listener who remembers 1938 and the youngster who has never before heard a big band like this.
On the New Testament band, 1950s The only perfect, completely perfect recording session I’ve ever had anything to do with.
On the band’s first session, Chicago, October 1936 The Basie band took much of its character from the subtle way the Count’s pithy, elliptical attack framed his shouting brass and saxes.
BBC Music Magazine, 3 December 2024 Undismayed by Chick’s forceful drum beating, the Count maintained an attitude of poise and self-assurance.
Basie’s Brilliant Band Conquers Chick’s, the Savoy, 1938
