This early Buddy Rich album is a wonderful tribute to Count Basie. Harry "Sweets" Edison is brilliant! If you're a Basie fan, then this one's for you.....
Drummer Buddy Rich put together an interesting 11-piece group for this tribute to Count Basie. The only Basie alumnus present is trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison but the other soloists (trombonist Frank Rosolino and Bob Enevoldsen, Bob Cooper on tenor and pianist Jimmy Rowles) easily fit into the setting. Marty Paich contributed the arrangements, there are plenty of drum solos and the music, if not all that memorable, can easily be enjoyed by straightahead jazz fans......AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow
