While with the Pablo label, Basie was recorded in three basic settings: with his big band, in all-star groups, and as a pianist (sometimes teaming up with Oscar Peterson for two-piano duets or in a quartet). No less than 33 Count Basie CDs are currently in the Fantasy/Pablo catalog (not counting a "Best of" sampler).
