Recorded live at Basin Street East, New York in 1961 musicians involved include the following…..Joe Newman, Curtis Fuller, Melba Liston, Phil Woods, Jerome Richardson, Art Davis and Stu Martin. “Basie\/Eckstine Incorporated”….What is it about this man Eckstine, why is he always walking amongst giants? Surely it’s because he’s a giant himself in the jazz firmament, as the original liner notes confirm…. “a once in a lifetime recording which attests to the talents of two giants of jazz”. Eckstine is here joined by Count Basie and a sparkling array of supporting players including….Thad Jones, Snooky Young, Joe Newman, Frank Wess, Freddie Green and George Duvivier with arrangements by amongst others Quincy Jones and Budd Johnson. “Once More With Feeling” our final selection could just as easily have been called “The Best of Mr B!” In the company of famed arranger and conductor Bill May, Mr B re-visits some of his classic songs now given “a modern dress, a new and fresh approach through the imaginative force of Mr May.
