Recorded in 1958, when Tony Bennett was fronting the Count Basie Orchestra, this album captures a real essence of the sound of the day. At the time Basie had an outstanding rhythm section with Freddie Green (guitar), Eddie Jones (bass), Sonny Payne (drums), a tight and powerful brass section lead by Thad Jones (trumpet), a smooth silky reed section featuring Frank Foster (tenor) and some clever and skilful arrangements by Neil Hefti.
