Liner Note Author: Will Friedwald. Recording information: Capitol Studios, LA, CA (08/16/1950-09/06/1961). Unknown Contributor Roles: Count Basie Big Band; Stan Kenton. Arrangers: Dave Cavanaugh ; Pete Rugolo; Shorty Rogers. In a couple of irresistible pairings, Nat "King" Cole is heard here with both the Count Basie Orchestra (without Basie, who is replaced by Gerald Wiggins) and Stan Kenton's orchestra. The Basie band cuts--the album's first dozen tracks--were recorded in 1959 as a set called WELCOME TO THE CLUB, while the Kenton sides were recorded at various times between 1950 and 1961. ("Madrid," an extra Cole/Basie track, was recorded at the end of the CLUB session but previously unissued.) Comparisons between the two bands are instructive: while Basie's band swings subtly and effortlessly, Kenton's band is all percussive stabs, Latin stylings, and broad orchestral gestures. Cole moves effortlessly between the two.
