Artist:
Count Basie
Title:
The Music of Count Basie and Sammy Nestico



Details:
Sammy Nestico is a big band legend in every sense of the word. Every big band musician in the world – both amateur and professional – has played his charts at some time or another. During his long career, Nestico recorded ten albums with the Basie ensemble, many of which showcased his masterpieces (tunes such as „Basie Straight Ahead", „Hay Burner" or „Magic Flea") and won four Grammy Awards in the process. The enthusiastic response (from critics and fans alike) to the first collaboration (Hänssler CD 93.118: "No Time Like The Present") and the positive musical and personal chemistry made it inevitable for Sammy Nestico and the SWR Big Band to work together again in 2005, to record the current CD. A swinging musical treasure from a Jazz Legend! Sammy Nestico is a Jazz Renaissance man! With over 600 published compositions, Three Grammy Nominations, author of one of the most comprehensive texts on Jazz orchestration ("The Complete Arranger"), performing credits on nearly one hundred albums and a list of collaborators that including everyone from Sarah Vaughan and Quincy Jones to Phil Collins and Christina Aguilara – any time Sammy releases a new CD, PEOPLE TAKE NOTICE!

Label: Haenssler
