This exciting CD catches Basie's so called "Atomic Band" at it's peak during one of the Count's many European tours of the 50's/60's. a team of arrangers headed by Neal Hefti, Ernie Wilkins and Johnny Mandel were vital elements in the success of this amazing unit in which the whole band breathed as one man.
