A beautiful pairing of two legendary pianists — Count Basie and Oscar Peterson — heard late in Basie’s career, in a setting that lets both of them open up nicely! Basie also plays a bit of organ. Freddie Green, Basie’s longtime guitarist in his band — he stayed 50 years with Basie — cannot be missed on this recording. 10 track stereo LP.
Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original analog master tape, and pressed at Quality Record Pressings for optimal sound quality, this Analogue Productions 180-gram reissue sounds exceptional! Housed in a gatefold Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket.
