Day 3: Count Basie - The Atomic Mr. Basie (1958)


With each jazz album I hear I am falling deeper and deeper in love. "The Atomic Mr. Basie" was a fantastic album from Count Basie and I loved it. The songs are fast, loud, crazy and make you wanna get up out of your seat and dance for the full 45 minute duration of the album. I listened to the hour long re-release with bonus tracks but since they weren't a part of the original release I won't mention them here. Hearing this has inspired me to check out more of what The Count offers and other jazz artists as well. I feel classier already haha. I give this album 5/5.

Tracks I enjoyed the most: Duet, Flight Of The Foo Birds, Splanky, Double-O & the slow romantic piece Lil' Darlin'.
