April in Paris

Album by Count Basie

April in Paris is a studio album by American jazz pianist and bandleader Count Basie, released in 1957. The record showcases the Basie Orchestra's swing-era big-band sound with tight horn arrangements, blues-inflected rhythms and concise soloing, and it occupies a key place in Basie's late-1950s output as part of his renewed prominence in modern big-band jazz.
