He would stay with Basie for many years, while also playing and recording with small groups under his own name. The studio jam sessions included here are among the best regarded highlights of his career.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Essential Jazz Classics","offers":[{"title":"CD | x3","offer_id":50459338572107,"sku":"1137107","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/415290be-b4a1-4abf-b159-eb88f7364463_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727220399","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/complete-legendary-jam-sessions-master-takes","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
