The Basie band that came out of Kansas City in the 1930s made an enormous impact on the jazz world. With a line-up that included Buck Clayton, Lester Young, Herschel Evans and what rightfully has been called the finest rhythm section the world has ever known. The 99 tracks in this box set are testimony to the greatest swing band ever.

Compiled and produced for release by Joop Visser.
