    Lucky me was playing 3rd trombone in Basie's band on this gig ... I was in the wings mezmorized by Oscar Peterson every night of the tour ...I was 24 (an average player) and like a said a very lucky fellow to be there :O)

    Like a spring shower - all comes alive and is blooming in moments. To end as suddenly as it began. This audience in Prague were listening to something very, very special - and they knew it. There are simple ideas in these 37 minutes or so of such depth - melodic and rythmic - which are virtually the definition of music as a social experience. From loud city type music to spiritual longing - from brash youthful outbursts to displays of real expertise and creativity.

    Thank you for detailed credits. But there's someone missing: the guitarist, who was never pointed. Possibly the great Freddie Green, who played with Basie for almost 50 years. In 1974, him and drummer Butch Miles made part of rhythm section of the great Count Basie Orchestra. I was listening this beautiful music while reading credits, when my ears told me there was someone missing!
