About this Record: Count Basie brought the house down at the 1975 Montreux Jazz Festival, and thankfully Norman Granz captured every electrifying moment for Pablo Records! Recorded live on 19 July 1975 in Switzerland, this all-star session features a dream team lineup alongside Basie — trumpeter Roy Eldridge, tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin, vibraphonist Milt Jackson, bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, and drummer Louis Bellson. Just three epic tracks — Billie's Bounce, Festival Blues, and Lester Leaps In — but each one bursts with life. A finger-popping, soul-stirring live performance from jazz royalty at its finest.

About this Record: Pure joy on vinyl! Recorded at RCA Studios in New York on 9 April 1975 and released the following year on Norman Granz's Pablo Records, this intimate small-group session strips away the big band trappings and lets the Count breathe freely alongside the gloriously warm tenor saxophone of Zoot Sims. Granz wisely kept the lineup lean, and the result is a beautifully relaxed collection of standards and original compositions brimming with natural chemistry. Five jazz standards sit alongside three original pieces, all delivered with the effortless elegance that only these two masters could conjure.
