V/A - Sing A Song Of Basie

Facts Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the Jazz greats on one CD. These two releases are splendid collaborations by the vocal trio with Count Basie or members of his band. Sing a Song of Basie is presented here in it's original Mono version, and not the inferior 'electronically rechanneled for stereo' mix. It showcases the vocal trio singing all of the horn parts from the Basie band via multi-track recording, backed only by a rhythm section of Basie-ites (with Nat Pierce filling in for the Count). on the stereo album Sing Along with Basie, the vocalists are accompanied by the whole Basie orchestra with the Count himself at the piano.
