"ALTHOUGH FOR MANY FANS THE EQUATION COUNT BASIE=BIG BAND JAZZ IS QUITE UNDISPUTABLE, ONE HAS TO AGREE THAT WHEN ON E LISTENS TO THESE EIGHT NUMBERS: LESS IS MORE WHEN IT COMES TO SWING. BOB THIELE, IMPULSE PRODUCER, CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT EVEN WITH A MEAGER BUDGET A WHOLE LOT OF MUSIC WITH A TERRIFIC SOUND COULD BE SQUEEZED INTO THE GROOVES. AS ALWAYS, THE GREAT SOLOISTS OF THE BASIE BIG BAND ARE ON TOP FORM: FIRST AND FOREMOST FRANK WESS WHO DEMONSTRATES HOW RIGHTLY POPULAR THE FLUTE IS FOR ITS SOUND-COLORING ANS AS A SOLO INSTRUMENT. THAD JONES ON THE TRUMPET IS QUITE OUTSTANDING IN ALL THE NUMBERS-AND IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT AS COMPOSER AND ARRANGER. THE "ALL AMERICAN RHYTHM GROUP NUMBER 1" CONSISTING OF THE COUNT, FREDDIE GREEN, EDDIE JONES AND SONNY PAYNE DELIVER ONE ADRENALINE-LIKE THRILL AFTER ANOTHER-WITHOUT EVER NEGLECTING THE JAZZ BEAT. ALL IN ALL THIS IS AN IMPORTANT LP FROM THE IMPULSE LABEL, WHIOSE QUALITY IS GREATLY ENHANCED BY THE TRANSPARENT SOUND."
