From his early days in the southwest of the USA, Count Basie had a special talent: he knew how to get a group of instrumentalists to create such an irresistible rhythm that not a foot in the audience could stand still.
Basie’s swing was the opposite of tight. It was relaxed and powerful. In five and a half decades, Basie never lost the ability to infect a band with his swing magic. This edition of his Swing Machine, recorded just a few years before his death, is a testament to the enduring power of that magic.
Remastered for Analogue Productions by Doug Sax.
We recommend the use of „L’Art du Son” LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
