CD Reviews

More memorable Basie

H. G. Hunter | South Cant. NZ | 01/21/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Count Basie plays Hefti is an album I have long been on the lookout for.

Neal Hefti's arrangement of "Coral Reef" started me on jazz all those years ago when I used to listen to VOA's "Music USA" on shortwave radio. "Coral Reef" was one of the music themes used. Since then I have always looked for Neal Hefti's arrangement particularly with Basie.

A great album of Hefti arrangements played as only Count Basie's band can.

Memorable indeed."
