Infos
ON THE ROAD is an especially appropriate title for this 1979 release. Producer Norman Granz had the band record in a studio before an invited audience; the result was a truly inspired studio session.
The repertoire featured here includes compositions by Basie stalwarts, most notably, Ernie Wilkins, Bobby Plater, Sammy Nestico, and Neal Hefti. What raw yet controlled energy this band has! On "There Will Never Be Another You," an extended trumpet solo drives the band with vigor; Mickey Roker's virtuoso drumming on the opening track, "Wind Machine" is especially compelling. Basie even features himself (a rare occurrence) on "Bootie's Blues," a down-home stride piano number. Dennis Rowland is the featured vocalist in this album. These are but a few of the many superb ingredients of ON THE ROAD. This album is truly a gem.
Recorded at Mountain Studios, Montreux, Switzerland on July 12, 1979.
Count Basie & His Orchestra: Count Basie (piano); Charlie Fowlkes, Eric Dixon, Bobby Plater, Danny Turner, Kenny Hing (saxophone); Pete Minger, Sonny Cohen, Paul Cohen, Ray Brown (trumpet); Mitchell "Bootie" Wood, Bill Hughes, Mel Wanzo, Dennis Wilson (trombone); Freddie Green (guitar); Keter Betts (bass); Mickey Roker (drums).
