Tony Bennett- Bennett and Basie Strike Up The Band-LP

Tony Bennett – Bennett and Basie Strike Up The Band

Tony Bennett’s Bennett and Basie Strike Up The Band pairs him with the Count Basie Orchestra as part of their 1959 studio collaborations. It first appeared under a different title, Basie Swings, Bennett Sings, before becoming better known in this form, giving the record a neat bit of catalog history. Roulette, Basie’s label, handled this set, while Bennett’s label Columbia released their other collaboration from that same year, which makes the partnership especially interesting for vocal jazz and big-band listeners. This is a 1966 vintage vinyl pressing, priced at $12. The record is graded VG++, a very clean everyday grade with glossy vinyl and only very small light marks, sleeve scuffs, or faint lines expected. At under $15, it’s an affordable Tony Bennett and Count Basie vinyl copy with strong condition appeal.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
