Title: More great sides
Review: This is the third volume of Basie's complete recordings on Chronological Classics. The final run of Decca sessions is here, and then the first of the Vocalion/Columbia dates. The Deccas are better than the Vocalions: "You can depend on me," "Jive at five," and "Oh, lady be good" are all Decca sides, and they are the best cuts on the CD. The first Vocalion session was a small-group affair that featured some nice Pres on clarinet. This is another CD of essential Count Basie from the early years.
