And this could be the place to start for any rock fans wondering what Basie was about, at least some of the time. This disc shows Basie and company (especially singer Jimmy Rushing) working in an R\u0026amp;B mode, doing such songs as Willie Dixon's \"You Call Yourself the Jungle King (I Found Out You Ain't a Doggone Thing),\" \"Hey, Pretty Baby,\" \"Brand New Wagon,\" and \"Walking Slow Behind You.\" Rushing and the band sound like they're pushing toward Chess Records' turf. And the astonishing thing is that they pull it off -- if these records had sold in any serious number, Basie and Rushing might have had a whole second career in R\u0026amp;B, right up there with Big Joe Turner. There's a minimum of annotation, and not all of the sound is quite perfect -- amazingly, the 1991 remastered \"Basie's Basement\" featured here has a click or two in evidence, for which there's no excuse. But the sound quality everywhere else is pretty much beyond reproach, and there's also one number here, \"Mister Roberts' Roost,\" a laidback instrumental prominently featuring Basie's piano, that's otherwise unavailable.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"RCA","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46027916017898,"sku":"078636106526","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/3892910.jpg?v=1778280710"}],"url":"https:\/\/arkivmusic.com\/collections\/jimmy-rushing.oembed","provider":"ArkivMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
