 Back to the club house. December 29, 2006
The sound suffers here because of the live environment. On the other hand, you can reproduce the "club" environment with surroundsound in your livingroom. If you don't care for Li'l Darling (as one reviewer below), then you just don't like the slow-easy-with-space approach of the Basie-Hefti alliance. Compare with Juggernaut: In a Hefti Bag.
 Soothing music for infants to adults July 29, 2003
This CD was given to us as a shower present, and has been our favorite from day one. It never fails to sooth both baby and mother. Now that my baby is a toddler, as soon as she hears it, she starts "singing" along. It's one of the only sets of classical music CD's that we have where volume intensity doesn't fluctuate making it necessary to adjust the volume every little bit.
Great "LIVE" big band recording January 10, 2003
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Love this album. It amazes me though, that the crowd in the background is talking and drinking while this great band is performing (like they get to see Basie every night). The recording is not enhanced or particularly well done, but captures the "Live" sound exactly as it was. You can hear on these tracks what made Count Basie great.
Perfect Music for Little Ears December 9, 2002
We have had this Cd for 3 years and our daughters (4 & 6) still love it. They have to have music when they go to sleep and this is the most requested. I would highly recommend it.
 A so so album. April 28, 2002
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was somewhat disappointed by this album. This is my 2nd Basie album while the 1st one I purchsed is "AIN'T MISBEHAVIN" which is FAR better!First the good news: The musicianship of this band is second to none and live performances are tough and exhausting. Why was I disappointed? The songs, especially the ones by HEFTI, are mediocre. Neil Hefti was an important arranger for Basie but not a good songwriter. The sound on this CD is not good either. You can almost not hear Freddie Green and the horns could be balanced better and the recording just sounds dry - no reverb, no echo - nothing. I'm gonna check out the VERVE releases and maybe some later live recordings of Basie..hope they'll be better.
