♥♥♥♥♥ |
Great, but the '62 band/DVD is better
|
This is a great quality DVD.
The band is not as swingy as the band that you can catch on the "Count Basie: Live In '62" though and I did not find it nearly as enjoyable. It does not seem like the "real" Basie Band. Butch Miles is more intense then Sonny Payne and the band is sweating and not as relaxed as a result.
Overall, the playing and song selections are not as bluesy or groovy and I was in no hurry to hear the DVD a second time - it just does not get me off like the '62 DVD. It is not nearly as special.
My only true complaints are that I wish they did not insult the great Butch Miles by chopping out his solo on "Whirly Bird". I would have rather they chopped out the introductory comments. |
