    Count Basie's Columbia years have long been debated, subject to apocryphal written data and legend because of the willy-nilly nature of his tenure with the label and its subsidiaries. Producer Orrin Keepnews has thus assembled America's #1 Band: The Columbia Years, a compilation of Basie's Columbia years that not only makes sense historically; it is a treasure trove for listening.
    Compilation produced by Orrin Keepnews
    Digitally mastered by Mark Wilder
    Digital transfers from acetates and metal by Andreas Meyer
    Digital tranfers from analog tape, digital editing, sound enhancement - Mark Wilder
    Cedar Noise Removal - Seth Foster
    with 47 page booklet
