The rhythm section on this gathering of stars from the later eras of the Count's Band, get that mystical Basie mix in perfect balance, ensuring an irresistible groove. Sir Roland Hanna, Bucky Pizzarelli, Mitt Hinton and Bobby Durham catch the Basie feel just perfectly. Clark Terry and Harry "Sweets" Edison are old buddies and their interplay shines throughout. The "Kansas City" style line up is completed by tenorman Seldon Powell -one of the unsung heroes of jazz. The spirit of Basie lives on. https://www.amazon.ca/Swinging-Count-Basie-Alumni/dp/B000024QWL
