"this really doesn't do him justice. Sound engineering is very marginal. The engineers had trouble with the French dials. Most solos popped up to the complete shock to the guy on the board. There are elements of a pick-up band here: Missed attacks and Harold Jones (drummer) who sounds like he's building a house most of the time. Far more superior results in this era can be found in the concerts in Sweden, BirdLand and Miami (Breakfast Dance and BQ). Still Basie is wonderful Basie."
