Al Grey and the Basie Wing. The Last of the Big Plungers (+The Thinking Mans Trombone). 2 LPs ON 1 CD HI-FI, MONO 24 BIT DIGITALLY REMASTERED The hallmark of The Basie Band, one of the greatest of all big jazz bands since the latter Thirties, was a propulsive rhythm section and soloists of stature and individuality. Here is the famed rhythm section with Barry Harris, a fine pianist, in for the Count

Al Grey's early trombone style was inspired by Trummy Young. He developed a wild, strong and full sound. Solos often consisted of short, pronounced phrases with precisely timed syncopation. When playing with the plunger, however, he would produce the most mellow fill-ins and shape melodic answers to the lead voice. This aspect of his playing can be heard to great effect in response to Bing Crosby's vocals on the 1972 album, Bing 'n' Basie ("Gonna Build a Mountain" and "Put Your Hand in the Hand").
