Lesser known early-to-mid 50s orchestra work by the Count, featuring Wardell Gray on tenor sax, Buddy Defranco on clarinet, Clark Terry, and Buddy Rich on drums. This Japanese release features 14 fairly short pieces, most barely hit the three minute mark, and finds Basie at the height of the swinging 50s. Tracks include "Neal's Deal", "Bluebeard Blues", "The Golden Bullet", "I'm Confessin", "One O'Clock Jump", "Little White Lies", "Tootsie", "Howzit", "Nails", and "Little Pony". © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Cover has light wear and aging.)
(Cover has light wear and aging.)
Near Mint - (minus)
- Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
- Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
- One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
- May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
- May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
- Possible minor surface noise when played.
Condition Notes
If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or pressing details, or an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Basie At BirdlandRoulette, 1961. Very Good+
A killer set from Count Basie – recorded during the height of his years at Roulette! The back cover of the record proclaims that "Basie Is Back Home" – clearly a bit by Birdland to lay claim to being the Count's home address, which is a bit of a challenge to his KC roots! ... LP, Vinyl record album
