Saw these amazing gentlemen in London around 1962...there's never been a better big band...and Joe Williams was a class act. The very best evening of great music
@jimrandolph3361
I don't think that you should try to call this anything more than really great music.

Man that swings and Joe was so good. I was lucky to see the Basie band three times as a young man. My father made sure that we saw good music.
@jean-philippelarpin8672
Same for me! I saw Basie's band a few times, and even with Joe Williams! All that thanks to my dad who opened my ears to jazz music. And here I am, 50+ years later, still hooked...
@ler5299
The whole album is great
