after watching the beeb basie doc, concerning which there's a thread on the board here, went looking for something to reacquaint myself (long time since I listened to anything - think it was 'atomic basie', decades ago).
for some reason this cover spoke to me ... and I'm glad it did.
the digital remaster version in stereo (I think - I do sometimes struggle to tell!)l and they've done a great job. Stupendously good sound.
And for the most part, the Bond themes basie-ised are great - some of them could become favourite versions.
Sarathy Korwar and Upaj Collective, "Night Dreamer direct to disc sessions". Streaming from Bandcamp, but this is definitely one to buy. Hypnotic and trippy jazz / Indian fusion.
Donald Fagen - Kamakiriad vinyl from the Cheap Xmas box set - stunning pressing , sound q. and the usual DF/Steely D slick sound - this album produced by Walter Becker
