Customer Reviews of Count Basie at Carnegie Hall
The old fire just smoldering You could consider this a very good big band performance BUT if you are a fan of Count Basie you may find this a bit sad. The old lion just doen't roar with the vigor of old. There are some high points: Joe Williams still sings great, there are a few nice horn solos, but Sarah Vaughn was disappointing, George Benson out of place, and Tony Bennett downright embarrassing. Maybe it was the white bread audience at Carnegie Hall; cringed when they gave Tony Bennett a bigger ovation than the Count. Spend your money on "Atomic Basie" or any of the remastered CDs from 30's and 40's.
Swing Swing Swing
This is what a big band is all about.
This is the greatest band ever.
When I was a kid in the 50's we would dance or stand in
front of the bandstand for hours on the pier in Old Orchard Beach,Maine with the Basie Band,you could not sit down.
Now I'm 66, so I crank up Home Theater sound system with
the 43" wide screen and let my foot tap. Life is good!
Great Concert
The encoding is region 1 (USA & Canada) but the dvd is viewable in Germany (region 2) too. The first part of the film is sometimes a little bit boring. The second part (concert) is really great.
