• This CD features two famous Count Basie albums “Kansas City Suite” (1960) and “The Legend” (1961) written by Benny Carter, who demonstrated his masterly grasp of the essential style of the Count Basie band.
• Some of the music is more typically Basie than typically Carter, but each track stands up well on its individual merits, featuring trademark mellifluous saxophone riffs, rich harmonies, precision ensemble work, and, to complete the picture, brilliant soloists.
• Personnel : Thad Jones, Snooky Young, Joe Newman, Al Grey, Benny Powell, Marshall Royal, Frank Wess, Billy Mitchell, Frank Foster, Budd Johnson, Henry Coker, Count Basie, Freddie Green, Sonny Payne, etc.
• 2 albums on one CD - 19 tracks (including one bonus track) - 24-bit digitally remastered.

Reviews ForKansas City Suite + The Legend
The Jazz Rag - Hugh Ledigo
If I could own only one Basie recording, this would be it.,
Jazz Journal - Hugh Rainey
The saxes soar and swoop as one, the brass explode with powerhouse dynamics, and the soloists all take off. The music is as good as it gets. Top class,*****
