If you are a fan of the classic "Sinatra at the Sands with Count Basie", you will want to have this companion recording! The Sands recording was one of Frank's best (along with "Ring-a-Ding-Ding") and a true classic - an "end of the era" demarcation in terms of the great big band singers. These are the Basie band's warm up numbers, and while a little on the rough side, they are still great listening. This does not rise to the level of "Breakfast Dance and Barbecue", but it's still fantastic, and something any fan of the Sands album will want. May 16, 2007

rating: 5 QuoteOne of the Top Big Bands that Ever WasQuote
I DJ and program a big band segment on my show at a NW Radio Jazz station. I want to say as a teen in 1960 I had the opportunity to see and hear Count Basie and his orchestra at Disneyland, California. I was a believer from then on that I had heard one of the top bands I would ever hear. We were blessed to hear a lot from Basie through the Sixties. The sound, solo work and the team work of the musicians on Basie at The Sands is Big Band at it's greatest. The sound quality is truly good for a live recording. I really enjoy being able to hear very clearly Basie's style of "plinking" at the piano. He was truly unique and this is a good album of his work with the Band. WORK! It wasn't work, it was pure Joy to the ears. January 14, 2007

rating: 5 QuoteBasie at his bestQuote
It was a great time in the late history of big bands and Basie was enjoying his popularity. It also had to be a high working with Sinatra. This collection was recorded live and definately swings. March 10, 2006

rating: 5 QuoteOne of my favorite Basie recordingsQuote
Energy....killing Sonny Payne fills and set-ups for the band....absolutely electric live recording from a peak period for Basie and his Band as they backed and opened for Sinatra at the Sands. Great recording quality and remastering for surprising clarity.

Enjoy one of the best of the genre.... September 17, 2005
