Breakfast Dance and Barbecue is a live album by pianist, composer and bandleader Count Basie and his Orchestra with vocalist Joe Williams featuring tracks recorded at a Disc Jockey convention in Florida in 1959 and originally released on the Roulette label.
AllMusic awarded the album 3 stars and its review by Scott Yanow states, "Their first of three sets took place at 2 a.m. but the late hour if anything kept the band loose".
