Show Notes
Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Count Basie conducted his world famous orchestra across 6 decades, and this 1958 release was one of his most commercially successful. The crew look to a more expert jazz opinion this week while getting into economical piano playing, large-band recording techniques in the 1950s, and the origins of the Kansas City sound.
