With Big Joe Turner<\/strong> on vocals and Count Basie<\/strong> at the piano, the album combines Kansas City blues, jazz and effortless swing.<\/p>\n The outstanding supporting band includes Harry \u201cSweets\u201d Edison<\/strong> on trumpet, J.J. Johnson<\/strong> on trombone, Eddie \u201cLockjaw\u201d Davis<\/strong> and Zoot Sims<\/strong> on tenor saxophone, Irving Ashby<\/strong> on guitar, Ray Brown<\/strong> on bass and Louie Bellson<\/strong> on drums.<\/p>\n This audiophile edition from Analogue Productions<\/strong> is pressed on 180 g vinyl<\/strong> at Quality Record Pressings (QRP)<\/strong>. Matthew Lutthans<\/strong> mastered the album at The Mastering Lab<\/strong> directly from the original analogue master tape<\/strong>, preserving the warmth, dynamics and natural presence of the original recording.<\/p>\n Songs such as Honeydripper<\/strong>, Honey Hush<\/strong>, Night Time Is the Right Time<\/strong>, Flip, Flop and Fly<\/strong> and Roll \u2019Em Pete<\/strong> showcase Turner in commanding form, backed by a band whose relaxed precision and powerful swing make The Bosses<\/strong> a standout late-career recording.<\/p>\n Artist: Count Basie & Joe Turner<\/strong>
