This concert brought back good memories of seeing the Basie Band in Atlantic City, NJ at the Steel Pier Ballroom in the late 50's. The sound is great, I shut my eyes and relived a wonderful evening. I went backstage and spoke with Mr. Basie, as a friend was the stage manager of the Ballroom .I highly recommend this CD to ant Big Band enthusiast.

Basie band at it"s best, and recording quality that captures the full power of the trumpets, which are usually compressed in other big band recordings..
