Since his early days in the southwest, Count Basie had a special talent: he knew how to get a group of instrumentalists to create a rhythm so irresistible that no foot in the audience could stand still.
Basie's swing was the opposite of cramped. He was relaxed and powerful. In five and a half decades, Basie has never lost the ability to infect a band with his swing magic. This edition of his Swing Machine, recorded just a few years before his death, is a testament to the enduring power of this magic.
The remastering for Analogue Productions was done by Doug Sax.
From his earliest days in territory bands in the Southwest, Count Basie had a secret: How to make a collection of instrumentalists generate rhythmic thrust so irresistible that no listener's foot could remain motionless.
Basie's swing was the opposite of tense. Relaxed is what it was, and powerful. Through five and a half decades, Basie never lost the ability to infect a band with his swing magic. This edition of his swing machine, recorded just a couple of years before his death, is evidence of the continuing force of that magic.
