Participating. The album is produced by Greg Field, a former drummer and eight-time Grammy-winning drummer. According to Field, the entire album is a continuation of the great Basie sound of yesteryear. The Basie band has successfully covered songs from that era for many years now, and this album continues that tradition by weaving together recent hits by Adele and others, as well as classic hits by legends such as Stevie Wonder and Leonard Cohen. We're continuing the tradition."
