COUNT BASIE - BOMB




COUNT BASIE
Basie Bomb
Flight Of The Foo Birds

The real title of this album is Atomic Mr Basie but everyone I knew referred to it as Basie, Bomb. It had more classic Basie tunes on it then any other recording  he ever made. Flight of the Foo Birds is one of them and Lock Jaw’s solo is vintage Jaws. I would listen to it for hours,much to the chagrin of a friend who himself was a tenor payer and huge Zoot Simms fan.
