This is the best these sides have sounded ever, period. It is really a treat to hear the early Basie band with Lester Young in all its glory. The sound restoration on some of these tracks is just unbelievable, I had to check the linear notes to make sure these were the 1940 recordigs, because they sounded so different to the muddy/scratchy sound I grew used to. The linear notes alone are worth the price of this box set. And one full disc of most unreleased live tracks, many with Lester Young and Billie Holiday? You do the math. Many people, i am not included, are waiting for the full Columbia sessions remastered, but for me, this is what I have been waiting many years. The track secuence is annoying, I still cant understand why not doing it chronological, but its just a minor flaw.

I would rather spend my time looking for music than answering these silly review requests; can you please turn them off.

A great collection of Basie tunes from the Columbia years. Making the case that Basie and band were the best is seeing how they excel in both small group and full orchestra settings. The sound quality is excellent. Some of the tracks literally appear to have been recorded yesterday. Aside from the technical aspects the material really has a timeless feel. There's jumping swing as you might expect but also some quieter more reflective numbers and some dips into the Great American Songbook. The last disc of rare radio spots is a nice addition to what is a very nice package. If you're a fan of the swing/Big Band era and want more than the basic kind of "best of" sets you can't go wrong with this.

Basie on Columbia

This is an excellent sampler of Basie on Columbia. There are a few tracks that are missing, but overall the choices are good. The sound is very good,witha nice informative booklet. A good price too.
