Album Notes & Community Reviews

Highlighting the overwhelming power and pinpoint accuracy of his updated orchestra, the bandleader proves the enduring viability of big band swing on 'Basie Rides Again!'. The massive, roaring horn sections are perfectly balanced by the famously sparse, bluesy interjections of his piano.
