90. The Atomic Mr. Basie - Count Basie (1957) 86/100. More jazz. This time, big band. Right from the start (it could be my mood) but I really liked it. It had that swing thing going for it.
Duet was the first track that really got my attention. A solid song with a great bass line. Kind of reminded me of the music to this...
After Supper was a lot more laid back and mellow than the previous two tracks. Good overall. Teddy the Toad was another song I liked a whole bunch. Whirlybird got my attention, very upbeat, swing track. Same goes with Splanky (which I believe I have heard in a number of movies over the years). Fantail had some great drums in it.
Again, as I reiterated several times, this isn't really my thing. While I enjoyed this more than a few of the other jazz albums I have listened to on here, in the end, it started to become background music while I worked. It may be that I can only assimilate it with this but it reminded me of music played during dinner at a wedding reception before the band/DJ come back on (Lil' Darlin is a perfect example). Listened: 4/13/2011.
Favorite Tracks: Duet, After Supper, Whirlybird
