“Basie Plays Hefti” Roulette Records (1958)
Thoughout the 50’s, Count Basie and composer/arranger Neal Hefti were an incredible team together. This album is one of their best and it’s overflowing with Hefti gems that include “Cute”, “Pensive Miss”, “Sloo Foot”, “Scoot”, “A Little Tempo Please”, “Count Down”, and “Pony Tail”. Of course, Hefti later gave us other classics like the themes to “Batman” and “The Odd Couple”.
