CD Reviews

Basie, the Victor recordings

Doug Norwood | High Point NC USA | 03/25/2006

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Although Basie's years with RCA Victor are usually regarded as his weakest, there is still plenty of good music to hear from these years. "Sweets" Edison and Emmett Berry still sparked the trumpet section and tenor saxophonist Buddy Tate and singer Jimmy Rushing were still on board. Perhaps the most interesting feature from these years, though, was the addition of an unknown tenorman who had only recently replaced Illinois Jacquet, a guy named Paul Gonsalves.

While there are a few throwaway novelties in this set, there are also some fine performances, both by the band itself and by a small "band within the band"

This is not essential Basie but even so is well worthwhile.
