Notes
Classic Records reissue of the Roulette original (R-25072)Issued in 180 and 200g weights in 2009
Originally released in 1959 on Roulette, this meeting finds Count Basie and his band in a peak period: a fantastic rhythm section, tight and powerful brass, silky reeds and skillful arrangers like Neal Hefti doing his charts. And you can hear the glee in his piano playing, to boot. Tony Bennett's vocals seem propelled along with such support and swings right into line on such tunes as Jeepers Creepers, Anything Goes and I'll Guess I'll Have To Change My Plans. Ballads and up tempo tunes alike are perfect blends for these two masters, who make them all sound fresh. Other songs include Life is A Song, With Plenty of Money and You, Are You Havin' Any Fun, Strike Up The Band, Chicago, I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face, Poor Little Rich Girl, Growing Pains and After Supper.
*45 rpm records have long been recognized as providing a higher fidelity musical experience resulting purely from the cartridge being able to extract more of the nuance from the complex vertical and horizontal groove modulations in stereo LP’s. Further, Classic Records 45 rpm “single sided” pressings dramatically reduce the mechanical resonances created by the cartridge during playback by allowing these resonances to be more fully transmitted to and absorbed by the turntable platter. Classic Records 45 rpm pressings are designed and manufactured to provide the “LOWEST DISTORTION” in every aspect of LP playback resulting in putting the listener as close to the music as possible.
