Basie Meets Bond

" Basie Meets Bond"- here indeed is a memorable meeting - a summit meeting, if you please. COUNT BASIE - Wiliam Basie from Red Bank, New Jersey - is certainly a true giant in the world of popular music. Thousands upon thousands of pages have been devoted to the Count's contributions to the scene over the past several decades. However, in this collection, the Count and his men are even more spirited, more swinging, more youthful and more imaginative than ever before.
