COUNT BASIE: LIVE IN...

Endnu en hidtil uudgivet liveoptagelse. Denne gang Basie med sit uhyre kraftfulde orkester, optaget i Sverige i 1962. Det er musik ud over stepperne og musik med dybe rødder i swing musikken, men med et øje rettet mod nye horisonter. Chris Sheridan udtaler: ”The performance captured on this wonderful concert DVD features the band that became known as “Atomic” from its 1957 album bearing a dramatic photograph of an atomic bomb explosion on the cover. Curiously, the album was just called “Basie”; nowhere was the word “Atomic” to be seen.
