The Chronological Classics: Count Basie and His Orchestra 1939

Album by The Count Basie Orchestra

The Chronological Classics: Count Basie and His Orchestra 1939 is a compilation album by Count Basie and His Orchestra collecting their recordings from 1939. It showcases the swing-era big-band sound led by Basie, characterised by a light, propulsive rhythm section, blues-inflected arrangements and concise solo statements, and serves as a document of Basie's development as a bandleader and of the evolution of big-band swing in the late 1930s.
