The Count Basie Orchestra performed the music of Billy Byers for many, many years. His arrangement of Come Fly With Me is recorded on the Basie album Frankly Basie: Count Basie Plays the Hits of Frank Sinatra. Set in an up-tempo swing feel, Byers hits it hard from bar 1 and doesn't let up until the end of the chart. The interplay between saxophones and brass is clever and energetic, while the full ensemble writing is classic Basie sound at its finest. There is solo space for tenor saxophone, with fantastic ensemble backgrounds throughout much of it. No jazz library is complete without this classic Count Basie chart! 5-4-4-4.

As recorded on the brilliant recording A Dream Deferred (Flying Dutchman CYL2-1449), by the Oliver Nelson Orchestra. It opens with the countdown to launch and proceeds to a bright swinging tempo in an extended blues harmonic scheme. It features a trumpet solo, lots of sax section unison blowing and exciting, challenging music throughout. This is one of Oliver's most exciting, energetic pieces! Go for it! 5-4-4-4.
