The legendary Count Basie Orchestra celebrates its 80th anniversary with its first-ever Christmas album, A Very Swingin’ Basie Christmas! Rendered in quintessential Basie style, these classic holiday songs were recorded under the direction of longtime Basie trumpeter Scotty Barnhart and were produced by seven-time Grammy winner and former Basie drummer Gregg Field. The collection also showcases special guest artists Johnny Mathis, award-winning R&B singer Ledisi, veteran jazz pianist Ellis Marsalis and iconic tenor saxophonist Plas Johnson, famous for playing the the solo on Henry Mancini’s The Pink Panther Theme. The results are blues-soaked, joy-filled holiday treats from an orchestra that has been called the "most explosive force in jazz."
