This is second Basie's collection of Beatles songs. This one surpasses the earlier release in both musicianship and by having Bob Florence do the arrangements. While my favorite Basie stuff is from the 50's, and the albums he did with Frank Sinatra, these are really good arrangements and the band swings. If you love the music of Count Basie and the music of the Beatles, you will not be disappointed with this CD. This is a great example of late 1960s big band jazz.Tracklist:
