    Prime Time captures Count Basie and his orchestra in top form during a January 1977 Los Angeles session, with the band combining Basie’s famously relaxed piano style with the crisp, punchy arrangements of Sammy Nestico. The album contains eight tracks, six written or arranged by Nestico, and moves easily between swinging originals such as “Prime Time” and “Bundle O’Funk” and familiar numbers like “Sweet Georgia Brown” and “Ja-Da.” With a full brass and reed section, Freddie Green’s unmistakable guitar rhythm and Basie at the piano, it’s a polished late-period big band record that has plenty of the effortless swing that made the Basie sound so recognizable.
