The sound quality is excellent throughout the set. Count Basies career was revived in late 1957 thanks to the success of the Neal Hefti arranged LP Atomic Basie, which became one of his biggest hits. The orchestra was filled with stars, and Joe Williams vocals were heard to great effect supported by Heftis excellent scores and the superb quality of the band. This long unavailable material includes amazing extended live versions of many of the perennial Hefti arrangements, plus a variety of songs that formed part of the orchestras repertoire at the time, and Sammy Davis Jr. as a guest star singing with the band on Ray Charles Hallelujah, I Love Her So. As a bonus, we have added the soundtrack from a complete 17-minute TV show featuring the same band shortly before it started the Crescendo engagement. Our comprehensive booklet contains detailed information, as well as a rare Count Basie interview published in Down Beat during the bands stay at the Crescendo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fingerpoppin Records","offers":[{"title":"CD | x5","offer_id":50416999039307,"sku":"1168165","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/20824583-5c4c-4e4b-911d-9782686f1ea4_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726713885"},{"product_id":"archie-shepp-bill-dixon-quartet","title":"Archie Shepp \/ Bill Dixon Quartet","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis CD release presents the complete 1962 Savoy album \u003ci\u003eArchie Shepp - Bill Dixon Quartet\u003c\/i\u003e, plus bonus tracks from a long unavailable sextet studio session by Shepp with the New York Contemporary Five , and a septet session by Bill Dixon For approximately 18 months (from the fall of 1961 to June 1963), Archie Shepp and Bill Dixon co-led a group that varied in size between a quartet, quintet and sextet, depending on the gig. They mostly played coffee houses and small theatres in Greenwich Village, and travelled to Scandinavia in July 1962 for a series of concerts at the first International Youth Festival in Helsinki. Back in the United States, they featured in a series of radio performances on New York's WBAI. However, unless any unknown radio broadcast or live European performances surface, their only recorded work together consist of the studio quartet album made for Savoy in October 1962, presented here on this special CD edition. Archie Shepp's only other recording session for the Savoy label, including Don Cherry on one track, and Bill Dixon's second recording session, in a septet format, have been added as a bonus. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Archie Shepp, tenor sax; Bill Dixon, trumpet; Don Moore, bass; Reggie Workman,bass; Paul Cohen, drums; Howard McRae ,drums.
