One of Frank Foster's gems: the definitive arrangement personifying the vocabulary of Ellington, Basie, and the post 1940's jazz orchestra,especially in the soli and the shout. You can't hear all of the harmonies in this recording, so those interested should check out the several other audio recordings. Thank you Frank. Keep swingin'.
Man, Count Basie seems like such a chill guy... I wish I could have been good enough to play with him... I saw his band as it is today at my school actually...
