Count Basie
Edited on Mon May-21-07 12:18 AM by Gregorian
Another amazing video. I think it's a rehearsal. It's like looking back through a time machine. I was lucky enough to catch one of his shows once upon a time. I think I hear Fats Waller in his playing here.

1. Thank you!
I love Count Basie! Saw him and his orchestra (with Freddie Greene on rhythm guitar) when I was 19. RIP, Mr. Basie. :thumbsup:

2. Wow...excellent stuff!
All that music not only holds up to the test of time,it's still better than almost all of the stuff that's out there today.

Thanks...that was cool.
