Personally, I found the Basie band somewhat overwhelming and a little schmaltzy on some of the tunes. Not that Ray never made a schmaltz record on his own. Some of the tunes did work great, I agree, but if your appreciation of Charles runs more to the hard R&B blues side, or the smokey jazz side, you may find this a bit too much.
