About this pressing

Originally released in 1958 on Roulette, Basie is a swinging big band classic that pairs Count Basie’s legendary orchestra with the sharp, modern arrangements of Neal Hefti. The result is a record full of energy, polish, and irresistible groove — Basie’s rhythm section driving the band with effortless swing while Hefti’s charts bring fresh sophistication.

The album balances hard-swinging numbers with tightly written ensemble passages, showing off the power of the Basie band at its peak. Brass and reeds shine in unison while soloists step forward with stylish, bluesy improvisations.

With classics like Li’l Darlin’ and Splanky, Basie remains one of the orchestra’s most enduring recordings — a perfect blend of drive and elegance.
