Big Boss Band

Big Boss Band is the 1990 studio album of American musician George Benson on Warner Bros. featuring the Count Basie Orchestra.

[1] The genre is mainly big band swing with some Michel Legrand and R&B thrown in.

He continues: "The spirit of the Basie Legacy permeated these sessions as I approached each one (song) in the way I believed the Count would have wanted."

He thanks to Frank Foster III for his contribution and notes that he "was Basie's only choice" to arrange this album.

[4][5] Frank Foster received Grammy Award for his arrangement of George Benson's composition "Basie's Bag" (Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Big Band, 1990).
