COUNT BASIE - Basie On The Beatles

COMPLETE RECORDING

This album was arranged by Bob Florence. I asked him about it once on another group and he said that he was not at all proud of it. But it's worth listening to for historical reasons, and there's no way people  Basie and Florence could get together and produce a 'bad' recording.  This is actually the second Beatles album that Basie did. The first was arranged by Chico O'Farrill.  I'll stay with Bob Florence.
