    Since I'm spinning LPs I put this one on. 

    Count Basie 5 "Kansas City" Pablo LP

    I'd love it if Concord would put out a set of all the "small group" Basie records on Pablo. Great stuff that I'd love to have on newly remastered cd.

    Agreed. That's a particularly good one, IMO. :tup

    Listening now:

    Primary

    Is this good? I enjoy all the horn players on here, but I don't know the others.

    Yes, it is very good. Lots of alto and straight ahead be-bop, so it appeals to me a great deal. The rhythm section is perfect for the music. Carl Allen is especially on-target.

    There is actually not that much to distinguish the alto players from one another. All very strong players. I listened on i-tunes, so didn't have the liner notes to clearly establish the solo order. I believe (not certain, but fairly sure) that the stereo mix coincides with the photo - Watson, left channel, Herring center; and Bartz, right channel.
