Обложка альбома «All About That Basie» — The Count Basie Orchestra

One can easily argue that the Basie band, from the moment of its mid-’30s Kansas City emergence, did a great deal to set the course of American popular music as a whole. And now, long after William James Basie’s 1984 death, the band continues as a legacy institution, full of good vibes and a solid professional ethic under the leadership of Scotty Barnhart. <i>All About that Basie</i> mixes it up between older Basie staples (“Sent for You Yesterday”, “April in Paris”, trumpeter Thad Jones’ tart midtempo blues “From One to Another”) and fairly surprising, at times hard-to-recognise arrangements of more modern pop and R&B hits by the likes of Earth, Wind & Fire, Leonard Cohen and Adele. The guests bring tons of personality to the affair, including singer Kurt Elling in top ballad form, organist Joey DeFrancesco sounding like a big band unto himself, and Stevie Wonder lending a simple and honest poignancy on harmonica.
