McGriff pays tribute to the Count Basie Orchestra by performing ten songs from the Basie book (both of the 1940s and '50s) with a large group that includes many Basie veterans. The orchestra is mostly used as a prop, however, for McGriff is generally the main soloist on such tunes as Buster Harding's \"Hob Nail Boogie,\" \"Swingin' the Blues,\" \"Cute,\" \"Avenue C\" and \"L'il Darlin.'\" Matching the leader's powerful organ with a big band was a logical idea and one that would be successfully repeated quite a few times in the future. This budget CD gives one a good sampling of Jimmy McGriff's playing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jimmy_McGriff\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttp:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jimmy_McGriff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Hob Nail Boogie 2:25\u003cbr\u003eA2 Cherry Point 3:52\u003cbr\u003eA3 Swinging The Blues 3:44\u003cbr\u003eA4 Cute 3:25\u003cbr\u003eA5 Every Day 4:02\u003cbr\u003eB1 Blues Go Away 3:27\u003cbr\u003eB2 Avenue C 2:54\u003cbr\u003eB3 Lil Darlin' 4:28\u003cbr\u003eB4 Splanky 3:17\u003cbr\u003eB5 Slow But Sure 4:30\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Solid State Records","offers":[{"title":"1966","offer_id":1068494845,"sku":"SS 18001","price":60.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/2072\/products\/R-1579454-1229869310.jpeg?v=1571439164","url":"https:\/\/recordpusher.live\/products\/jimmy-mcgriff-the-big-band","provider":"RecordPusher - International Vinyl Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
