Li'l Ol' Groovemaker...Basie! is a 1963 album by the Count Basie Orchestra released by Verve Records. The music was composed and arranged by Quincy Jones. - Wikipedia Review by Scott Yanow For this set, it was Quincy Jones's turn to provide a program for the Basie Orchestra. All nine of the originals are virtually forgotten today but are very well-played by this veteran band. Although Frank Foster was still in the band, Eric Dixon (on tenor and flute) was starting to assert himself as a major solo voice while trumpeter Snooky Young has a few strong spots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fttu8OXukag&list=OLAK5uy_mc6am0MZoNMucFi0Q4l2r5nIkyDGUhBWA #CountBasie #BigBand #Jazz #Swing #QuincyJones #Music #VerveRecords
