Twist And Shout

This exciting CD catches Basie's so called "Atomic Band" at it's peak during one of the Count's many European tours of the 50's/60's. a team of arrangers headed by Neal Hefti, Ernie Wilkins and Johnny Mandel were vital elements in the success of this amazing unit in which the whole band breathed as one man. Latter day Basie classics such as 'Shiny Stockings', 'The Midgets', 'Whirly Bird' and 'The Deacon' sit easily with 'Ol'Man River', 'Basie Boogie' and a rare outing for Duke Ellington's masterpiece 'In a Mellotone.'
