In his book, The 101 Best Jazz Albums, Len Lyons recommends two recordings of Count Basie: The Best of Count Basie and 16 Men Swinging. Unfortunately, these are only available in vinyl. Jim Determan, who has updated Lyons's list of albums for CD, recommends instead the following titles:
- Count Basie: The Complete Decca Recordings (Buy at Barnes & Noble)
- Count Basie: April in Paris (Buy at Barnes & Noble)
- Count Basie: Count Basie Swings, Joe Williams Sings (Buy at Barnes & Noble)
