Description
"The Atomic Mr. Basie" (originally titled "Basie", but also known as "E=MC2") is one of Count Basie’s most famous, and most critically acclaimed albums. The success of the 1957 LP allowed the bandleader to regain the popularity and financial prosperity that had eluded him during previous years.
The early Fifties proved a bad period for big bands, and for economic reasons many leaders were forced to disband their orchestras and organize smaller formations. The Atomic Mr. Basie, with brilliant compositions and arrangements by Neal Hefti and a propulsive band full of splendid soloists, was such a success that the leader’s orchestra was able to continue as a result.
