Basie Swings The Blues brings together an extraordinary lineup of musical talents, including George Benson, Shemekia Copeland, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, Bettye LaVette, Ledisi, Keb Mo, Charlie Musselwhite, Bobby Rush, and more. Produced by Scotty Barnhart, John Burk, and Steve Jordan, this album pays homage to the classic Basie Swings albums while introducing the Count Basie Orchestra to the realm of blues.
The Count Basie Orchestra, led by musical director Scotty Barnhart, continues the legacy of influential pianist, composer, and bandleader Count Basie with their energetic performances rooted in the swing jazz tradition. In Basie Swings The Blues, the orchestra explores the deep connections between the two genres. Barnhart’s journey to Mississippi inspired the album’s deeply moving mix of various blues styles and Basie’s irresistible signature swing.
The album includes classic tracks like “Stormy Monday” and “I’m A Woman,” as well as original compositions like “Let’s Have A Good Time” and “The Patton Basie Shuffle.” It is a supremely addictive set of timelessly crafted songs with lush arrangements and stellar performances through the album. /Claudia Taylor, World Music Central
