Count Basie Big Band - Farmer's Market Barbecue / Analogue Productions

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.
