I've owned this album for years and it is still one of my favorite in my collection. The Lori Mechem Quartet swings Basie and captures the essense of his Big Band perfectly. This is definitely one of the albums I want with me if I am ever stranded on an island. Bravo!

This album is so together. It's hearing Basie music like it should be heard. I'm telling the whole world about it - or at least everyone I know. I'll be ordering more copies to give as gifts. This album will enhance anyone's music collection.
