The Atomic Mr. Basie (originally called Basie, also known as E=MC2 and reissued in 1994 as The Complete Atomic Basie) is a 1958 album by Count Basie and his orchestra. The album is one of Basie's most famous and is critically acclaimed. Allmusic gave it 5 stars, reviewer Bruce Eder saying "it took Basie's core audience and a lot of other people by surprise, as a bold, forward-looking statement within the context of a big-band recording." It is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, Will Fulford-Jones calling it "Basie's last great record." It was voted number 411 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000). According to Acclaimed Music, it is the 6th most critically acclaimed album of 1958, the 25th most acclaimed of the 1950s, and the 837th most acclaimed of all time, based on an aggregation of hundreds of critics' lists from around the world.
The album won Best Jazz Performance, Group and Best Performance by a Dance Band awards at the 1st Annual Grammy Awards.

‘’The atomic Mr. Basie’’ talks you about ‘’le feu sacré’’... 🎉... c’est ni fait pour les empressés ni encore moins pour les hargneux 😉

This album cover is brilliant! So of its time where an atomic future was still aspirational.

[henridelagardere]

E = mc² = Count Basie Orchestra + Neal Hefti arrangements

They didn't find another illustration for the cover? Maybe it is used as an absolutely abstract image? Or maybe music has nothing to do with life and moral sense? That's what I call irresponsability or inconsciousness.
