Title: An Essential Recording, You Must Be Kidding?
Review: Listening to this album is an educational experience in the history of American music for one reason and one reason only: It helps you to understand why Frank Sinatra was the greatest singer of all time. Just listen to any one of the Sinatra-Basie albums and you'll see what I'm talking about.On this album, the Basie arrangements and the sound qaulity is absolutely ear-aching. Joe Williams sounds about as boring, montone, and lifeless as listening to a fog horn.Don't waste your time or money here when the Chairman of the Board, is the only way to listen to this kind of music.
