Count Basie And His Orchestra, Louis Bellson - Basie In Sweden (33SX 1606)
What a live treat! Count Basie's final album for Roulette Records captures the orchestra at the Gröna Lunds Tivoli in Stockholm in 1962, with the irrepressible Louis Bellson sitting in on drums after Sonny Payne was sidelined by injury. The lineup is spectacular — Thad Jones, Frank Foster, Frank Wess, and Freddie Green among them — and the loose, energetic playing reflects the joy of a band truly in the zone under the Swedish night sky.

Count Basie Orchestra - Basie, One More Time (MDR 9237)
What a pairing of two brilliant minds! Count Basie's 1959 Roulette album features compositions and arrangements exclusively by the then-young Quincy Jones, whose bright, hip charts perfectly complement the orchestra's natural swing without altering its essential soul. Released in France on Mode Records as MDR 9237, the record sparkles with personality — from the driving 'Rat Race' to the tender 'For Lena and Lennie'. An exceptional meeting of two jazz legends at their creative peaks.
