Basie Swings The Blues is a one-of-a-kind collaboration that brings together the legendary Count Basie Orchestra and an extraordinary lineup of blues and soul icons. With a big-band jazz foundation rooted in swing and a bold blues emphasis, this album creates something truly unlike anything that has come before it, featuring contributions from artists including Buddy Guy, Bobby Rush, Keb' Mo', Robert Cray, George Benson, Shemekia Copeland, and Ledisi, among others.
The album delivers standout moments throughout, from Keb' Mo' and a vocal collaborator reimagining the Z.Z. Hill classic "Down Home Blues" to a soulful take on "Stormy Monday" that gives way to the orchestra swinging in full force. Released on the Candid label in 2023, this pressing features etched runouts, making it a thoughtfully crafted addition to any serious vinyl collection.
