Count Basie/Basie & Zoot(Pablo, 1975)
Count Basie and Zoot Sims are an interesting combination.
This is a quartet consisting of black big band leader and a white tenor player nicknamed Mr. Swinger.
This combination is perfect.
It's a fun performance full of dynamism, just as you'd expect.
Basie's piano solo, which you don't often listen to, is also good.
This is the perfect album to listen to when you want to feel good right now.
