Title: Ultimate Big Band Collection: Count Basie Artist: Basie, Count Label: Masterworks Product Type: COMPACT DISCS UPC: 886978054524 Genre: Big Band For nearly fifty years, William Count Basie - jazz pianist, organist, bandleader and composer led some of the finest and most influential of the Big Band orchestras. The Basie style was greatly admired for its classic rhythm section and it's unique use of two tenor saxophones. The appealing simplicity of Basie's own deft touch at the piano, swinging with the orchestra’s soft but robust sound, is unmistakable in the unofficial anthem of the Swing Era - "One O'Clock Jump".Tr
