Count Basie's Finest Hour

Basie once said, "I think the band can really swing when it swings easy, when it can just play along like you're cutting butter." We couldn't have said it better ourselves! This mix of sides helps to articulate the jazz bandleader's philosophy; includes his theme songs One O'Clock Jump and April in Paris , plus Topsy; Swingin' the Blues; Blues Backstage; Corner Pocket; Shiny Stockings; All of Me; Count Me In; Broadway , and more.
