Basie On Roulette

The Basie On Roulette series proposes to re-issue the integral recordings made by Count Basie between 1957 and 1962 for the recording company directed by Morris Levy, the owner of Birdland. Over the years, these records, mostly in mono, have been withdrawn from the catalogues. It is thus with considerable pleasure that these recordings can now be heard in stereo. The albums will be released once a month. (From liner notes to Basie 1).
