Straight Ahead
Nowadays there are those who prefer their shot of Basie with some kind of mix. Perhaps it will be a vocal group such as the Mills Brothers, as in The Board of Directors or Annual Report. On other occasions and other labels it could be a solo vocalist, a rock singer, a set of Disney tunes or current pop hits. This time, as the album title makes unmistakable clear, there is no mix. This is Basie on the rocks.
