Query: Superb Live Performances

The review of "A Customer" has it right -- except it's too mildly put. This 2-CD set offers two separate performances in France in '60 and '62. It easily ranks with Breakfast Barbeque and Birdland '56 for top-flight Basie in concert.The soloists are indeed inspired, as is the rest of the band on both old favorites and lesser known tunes. The recording is clear and bright and the playing is extremely lively. Applause occurs at just the right places and isn't intrusive. A few very brief moments of Basie talking can be made out here and there between numbers.It's odd that this Basie is so relatively little known, and so inexpensive. Find one. Don't be put off by the lack of samples as I was. Your Basie collection isn't complete without it.A real treat!
