Count Basie s band endured because of its leader s uncanny ability to put together fresh arrangements and strong soloists while maintaining the band's unique devotion to swing; this albumis among the most enduring of the big band recordings of the 1950s. The title tune is present in a justifiably famous rendition, a performance of swaggering swing and passion that was arranged by organist Wild Bill Davis. Frank Foster's Shiny Stockings, now a jazz standard, made its debut here, while Joe Newman's Midgets recasts the band as a bop combo. Throughout the recording are terrific solos by trumpeters Thad Jones and Newman and tenor saxophonists Foster and Frank Wess, all basking in the band's glorious swing.
