mjzee Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Were there 5 albums of Basie and Peterson? I count: Satch and Josh Satch & Josh Again The Timekeepers Night Rider Yessir That's My Baby Are there any others? Listening now to Yessir That's My Baby...very enjoyable.

CJ Shearn Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I think that's about it, 5 albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 There are a few tracks early on the Verve Mosaic set of Basie's ... don't have details at hand, but I think all small group tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Were there 5 albums of Basie and Peterson? I count: Satch and Josh Satch & Josh Again The Timekeepers Night Rider Yessir That's My Baby Are there any others? Listening now to Yessir That's My Baby...very enjoyable. According to LP reviews, the LP "Basie and Friends" (Pablo 2310925) has a couple of Basie-Peterson tracks that are not on any of the others. The liner notes, unfortunately, do not give any accurate session details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy Does It (12/2/74) -Count Basie, Oscar Peterson, Freddie Green, Ray Brown, Louis Bellson She's Funny That Way (12/2/74) - Count Basie, Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown Royal Garden Blues (12/2/74) - Count Basie, Oscar Peterson, Freddie Green, Ray brown, Louis Bellson The remaining 5 tracks on this album feature Basie with Louis Bellson on drums, and either John Heard, Ray Brown, or N.H.O.P on bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 And a pair with Zoot Sims? Or are those trio tracks cut at the Basie & Zoot date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Friedman Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Ubu, Zoot Sims does not play on those tracks. As you suggested, they were recorded at the Basie and Zoot session, but without Zoot. In fact, all the tunes on the "Basie & Friends" CD were recorded at various sessions that resulted in albums. But the tracks here were not included on those albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Okay, thanks! The second fact I realized while checking out its contents. Pretty lame that Fantasy couldn't just add those tracks to the respective albums. Not really an album that looks like anyone really, really needs it (two more tracks of Zoot w/Basie would have made a difference for me, though).
