Big Boss Band
Beskrivning:Gitarristen/sångaren George Benson samarbetar här med framlidne Count Basies orkester, under ledning av Frank Foster.
"...Focusing on standards that steer commendably clear from tunes normally associated with Basie, Benson takes on the dual challenge of big band singer and lead guitarist and succeeds with authority in both roles. The robust playing of the Basie band under Frank Foster poses absolutely no problems for Benson's muscular guitar, for he punches out the notes and octaves in irresistibly swinging fashion (for prime mature Benson, check out "Basie's Bag"). As a vocalist, he sounds solid and debonair, blending well with Basie vocalist Carmen Bradford on "How Do You Keep The Music Playing."..." (Richard S. Ginell, allmusic.com)
