omg three more count basie records for me! one with ella and joe williams from 1957, one a 1955 compilation of great lester young tracks from the late 30s, and a 1959 LP "from the pen of quincy jones" BANG! direct hit! thank you, santa!
santa's helper tells me the bottom line for these three vintage LPs is under twenty bucks (!)

But first we stopped at my daughter's place in Ferndale to exchange gifts. @maggiehoneyman hit the bullseye with three vintage Count Basie LPs!

check it out — ten bucks at the used record store up the block! this wasn't there last week.
this is a 1974 EMUS reissue of the 1958 Roulette LP.
ooh yeah it sounds great!!!!

having established a few months back that among the myriad "one mint julep" covers, the three best are the clovers (the original), ray charles (arr. by quincy jones!), and the persuasions, still, count basie's julep(also arr. by q!) is a delight
apropos of nothing, i passed on a neal hefti+count basie LP (not atomic basie, some other one) at a used record store in santa cruz and i'm kicking myself for it
