I first saw Basie in-person on the concert stage in 1957, or maybe '58, at a college dance event-I was hooked! I can still see it in my memory. Basie kept the assembled waiting well past the scheduled time, and when he arrived at his piano he turned and said "folks, I was here all the time"….

By far my favourite Big Band. During the 70’s Sammy Nestico arranged/composed (check out Basie’s Pablo records) died on Jan 17th 2021, he was 97. With Neil Hefty and Ernie Wilkins the band’s best arrangers. Sammy clearly left his musical-mark on this fabulous band, imo and with a respectful Cheers!

Scherrie Richardson la orquestra de Count Basie es la mejor que he escuchado y visto en sus videos. Hace tiempo me naciò el gusto musical del jazz and blues, muchos grupos y orquestras pero ninguna la que naciò en aquellos años 30`s, la de Basie, en mi humilde opiniòn. Me llamò la atenciòn de su comentario del 2020 y le felicito por su extraordinario gusto musical. Saludos.

Stunning and timeless, this Basie age seemed to go on, but time was to catch up and end the greatness of a continuum of the finest big band playing. I can dream that Bach, or Beethoven or Bizet, or any of the greats would smile and approve of such masterly shading, power, unison, teamwork, virtuoso control, tone and taste. It's a joyous lesson.

THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE GROUPS IN THE MUSIC WORLD. THE DRUMMER IS AN EXCEPTIONAL PLAYER. HE ADDS SO MUCH TO THE MUSIC ON EVERY SONG THAT IS PLAYED. THE CLEAR NOTES FROM THE TRUMPET PLAYER ARE SO PURE. AND, OF COURSE, THE MASTER BAND LEADER, COUNT BASSIE, IS GREAT ON THE PIANO THE WAY HE SKIPS ACROSS THE KEYS LEAVING OUT NOTES AND STILL KEEPING WITH THE SONG. THANKS FOR ALL OF THE MUSIC MAKERS...SYLVIA!

This is what you can do with music if you stick with it as a lifestyle and don't try to short-cut with drugs. No one played so tight as Count Basie's Orchestra for so long. You can't do that on drugs or booze. These were professionals who loved what they did. Listening to that bass player, i learned something about music. You don't listen for a note, you "feel" for a sound. Look at that unmarked (unfretted) fingerboard. The master of that instrument learned to feel the sound, not just hear it. You are searching for a wave, not a note!

Great drummer but for me not the best, he did invigorate the band as such. But i would nominate Sonny Paine and mr Bellson. Indeed mr Basie’s favourite drummer was Louis Bellson. The band’s golden “Roulette- Years”, imo were from 58/59 till the early ‘60’s, and the “Pablo-Years” (with comp/arr. Sam Nestico’s input) from around ‘73 till mr Basie’s death in1884. Nevertheless the Basie-Bands, in what ever formation, was for me the best Jazz-band ever! Just Dig this absolute power-house band & Cheers!
