This set was recorded in 1959 for Roulette Records by Bennett and
the Basie Orchestra in return for the Count's appearance on the
studio-recorded "live" IN PERSON! While not as well produced as any of the
Columbia Tony Bennett sessions, CHICAGO features the singer and band in
typically game form on such chestnuts as "Anything Goes,", "Jeepers
Creepers," and "I Guess I'll Have To Change My Plans." An added bonus is
the rich arrangement of Lerner and Lowe's "I've Grown Accustomed To Her
Face" from MY FAIR LADY. Basie's "New Testament" band of the '50s, with
arrangers such as Neal Hefti and Frank Foster, owed nothing at all to
past glories.
