Music reviews of The Complete Clef/Verve Count Basie Fifties Studio Recordings

Music Review: Tight and swingin'
Rating: 5 Stars

My bias is that I'm very fond of this period in Basie's career. As this collection reveals, his band had top-knotch material and was replete with master craftsmen. When Basie sparingly tinkles the keys it still sends chills down my spine. By this time he was the swami of concise perfection, never saying more than need be. On the uncommon track when he cuts loose, such as Blues for the Count and Oscar, the result is thrilling.

The packaging -- including a 20-page booklet -- is thorough and informative but not opulent. So far as I've seen, no label has given Basie the sort of loving treatment that has been bestowed on collections of Holiday and Ellington. Clearly, though, the music in this collection has been sensitively tended to and sounds fantastic. The booklet has the essential information about personnel and recording dates, and a list of the albums on which the material was originally released is included.

Jazz lovers owe immense gratitude to Norman Granz, who originally produced this material for his labels.

From the beginning there was no serious competition. Basie is the King of Swing. This limited edition collection is a valuable contribution to the preservation and dissemination of his work. It should be in every public library that has a CD collection and in the home of every Jazz lover. Most of it has never been available on CD.

Description of The Complete Clef/Verve Count Basie Fifties Studio Recordings

When Basie Reformed his Big Band in the 1950s, He Managed to Become Entirely New by Sticking with What Had Made Him Great from the Start. And in the Process, Basie Achieved Some of the Most Extraordinary Success of his Career. The Original Reel to Reel Tapes were the Source for Most of this Release which Contains 146 Tracks on Eight Cds, Including Seven Previously-unreleased Recordings and Three Alternates Not in the Vaults at Universal Music. Chris Albertson's Liner Notes Take the Reader Through Each and Every Recording, in Addition to Laying Out What was Happening to the Band Outside the Booth; Details that Suggest He's Had Access to Everyone's Date Book from the Period. The Complete Discography Clears Up Many Inaccuracies and Inconsistencies that have Bedeviled the Release of this Material for a Half-a-century.
