He managed to retain more of a jazz feel than either, and that’s what Basie senses in him: a kindred spirit who is devoted to the not so very taxing business of s(w)inging the song with minimum distraction.”\u003cbr\u003ePENGUIN GUIDE TO JAZZ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Bennett’s collaboration with the older master marked one of the highlights of his career. And for a very good reason: his charming and sophisticated voice, full of power and relaxation, and the masterful orchestra’s immaculate swing were made for one  another.” JAZZ MAGAZINE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The Roulette half of the two Bennett\/Basie sessions is a band singer’s paradise, with the Basie band caught at a robust and swinging peak and Bennett never sounding happier or looser in front of a microphone. Bennett’s perennial pianist Ralph Sharon takes over the piano bench and does all the charts. Yet Sharon writes idiomatically for the Count’s style. Though not a jazz singer per se, the flavour of jazz is everywhere in Bennett’s voice, which in those days soared like a trumpet.” (Richard S.
