Basie's Beat

Usually don't comment on label or pressing variance or spinal conditions or anything like that, but this one was found mono and sealed. When opened, it turned out to be a yellow-and-black-label DJ copy, which I found strange. And the pressing was just kind of noisy in general, not poppy-clicky noisy, just...bad vinyl noisy, which is an experience I've often had over the years with Verve's of this vintage. Oh well, it's a good enough record to override all that, because as they say here: http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/artist/music/detail.aspx?pid=11154&aid=2674

Count Basie gets called away on special assignments from time to time, but in this album he is back on the beat with the kind of music for which he is famous.

So, yeah!

Ed Shaughnessy is freakin' GONZO on the title cut, but then again, so is the whole chart, not just in its writing, but in its execution. Overall, it's a worthwhile curiosity in the Oliver Nelson discography. Not really any cut-corners, not there could be as the years went by and the workload reached massive proportions.

Looks sort of similar to the lineup that did Nelson's 'Jazzhattan Suite'. Plus - Rita Tushingham's face is not one I usually associate with Oliver Nelson LP sleeves. Nice !
