 Notes & Reviews
 
 
Engineering is sloppy, but a live classic from the era. A young Joe Williams almost steals the show.
- James Symons, 03/11/2009, USA

Wish someone would edit out that idiot emcee, bungling all over a kicking concert.

Full title is: Count Basie at Newport


Electricity, and history, were in the air when Basie hit Newport in '57. He was back with Lester Young, Jo Jones, Illinois Jacquet and Jimmy Rushing, plus new stars like Thad Jones and Frank Foster. Lester Leaps In; The Comeback; One O'Clock Jump, and the rest of these songs made for the most exciting set of an extraordinary night. Five bonus cuts!
