Basie is the best

"The one selection that reaches out and grabs you is the 4 plus minute rendition of I Can't Stop Loving You.. It is impossible not to tap your foot or move around. If you like real brass and feeling sax then this song steals the show. As a pro wrestler I use it for a special 4 minute entrance...great sounds"
Fine album!

"Great album by Basie with fine arrangements by Quincy Jones and Billy Byers....includes the Grammy-winning song "I Can't Stop Loving You." Other tracks that are nice are "I Left My Heart In San Francisco," "Moon River," "Nice 'N' Easy," "Fly Me To The Moon," and "At Long Last Love," played as only Basie can play them."
Big band at its best

"If anyone wants to know what a big band should sound like, then this is the album for you. This is absolutely first rate is all respects. Sonny Payne's drumming is a clear demonstration on how a big band drummer should sound and Marshal Royal on What Kind Of Fool Am I is just stunning. Buy this and you will not be disappointed."
