1962: Count Basie strips the mighty orchestra down to a seven-piece and reminds everybody where swing actually lives - in space, in timing, in the fewest possible notes played at exactly the right moment. The Kansas City 7 format reaches back to his small-group roots of the thirties, and the reunion is pure joy: relaxed tempos, conversational solos, the Count's piano doing more with three notes than most players manage with three hundred. A beautiful outlier in the Impulse! catalog - the new-thing label making room for the oldest testament of swing, and both sides gaining from the meeting. Japanese pressing from the SGD series.
