Tony Bennett & Count Basie

Produced by Teddy Reig

Roulette R 25231

1963

From the back cover: The band's power bursts through "Poor Little Rich Girl" in a solid-stepping climax following a vocal distinguished for its clipped inflection of the affable lyric and a warm open-trumpet solo by Thad Jones. The power of the Basie rhythm section, and especially Freddie Green on guitar and Eddie Jones on bass, is displayed in "Growing Pains." This tender saga of adolescent awareness of adolescence is supported only by rhythm and flute (Frank Wess) – giving the whole thing a pleasant poignancy, which the song and Tony's singing thoroughly deserve. – Barry Ulanov
