Very Good Performances4
This recent CD by the Basie Band is very good. It has very good audio and was recorded live in Japan. The instrumentalists are excellent, the band sounds like the typical Basie "machine," smooth, driving, and tight. Butch Miles (drummer) is the featured performer and clearly is one of the best big band drummers. There are two vocals by a female whose style is not to my taste. However, I think a better Basie CD is "Swingshift" which is excellent and includes a very good drum piece featuring (again) Butch Miles.

Basie is back///Ray Sings, Basie Swing s5
These two are some of the best I've heard from both Basie and Ray. They should be required listening for any jazz devotee, especially big band officiandos. Excellent work.
