COUNT BASIE AND HIS ORCHESTRA - KANSAS CITY SUITE - THE MUSIC OF BENNY CARTER (180G IMPORT LP)

Count Basie And His Orchestra Kansas City Suite: The Music Of Benny Carter On 180g Import LP

These two 1960 sessions gave Benny Carter a unique chance to write a full program for Count Basie's orchestra. Arranged as a type of suite, the 10 originals pay tribute to the various Kansas City clubs that were active in the '30s when Basie was a resident. The band swings throughout as usual, with concise solos adding color to this memorable modern session.
