    About this album

    Montreux '77 captures Count Basie Big Band in sparkling late-period form, with the orchestra turning the Montreux Jazz Festival into a showcase for Basie’s crisp swing, immaculate ensemble work and hard-driving rhythm section. Recorded in 1977, the set finds the band revisiting key Basie staples alongside crowd-pleasing standards, including “Splanky”, “Li’l Darlin’” and “One O’Clock Jump”, with the familiar bluesy bite and elegant economy that made the Basie sound so enduring. The album stands as a strong live document of one of jazz’s great big bands, proving how fresh that music still sounded in the 1970s.
