The title refers to the fact that Vaughan was accompanied by the Count Basie Orchestra, but without Count Basie. Reviewing the album for Allmusic, Scott Yanow gave it a four-and-a-half stars rating and called it "one of the best of all Sarah Vaughan recordings. Highly recommended".[1] It features "astounding vocalese"[2] from Vaughan on tracks including "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and "No 'Count Blues".

gollark: It lacks:- any security- any reliability also- "NickServ"but oh well!
gollark: It's a network because there are two servers.
gollark: I got bored and decided to make (technically) an IRC network with a friend! So you can connect to irc.osmarks.tk port 6667 (I couldn't make SSL work properly due to some kind of protocol version mismatch).
