Count Basie And His Orchestra 1979 part 2

Count Basie And His Orchestra 1979 Here is part 2

[@ronaldunkel2681]

The tightest, bluest powerhouse Big-Band ever! Stupendously swingin’ Jazz-band you’ll ever encounter! Those were the days folks, and sadly never to be repeated so Dig & Cheers!

[@stenekegren9395]

What a band!!! They released a live album that year (1979) from the same european tour, called "On the Road", I think it was recorded in Montreaux, including a fantastic version of Splanky and some tunes they played on this concert as well.

[@ronaldunkel2681]

Indeed and correct! G’day & Cheers!

[@daveyboy731]

Basie the greatest super solos the greatest swing band there was a master im a real Basie nut ,

[@martinplatt5928]

100% agree

[@stanleynkele3649]

I have been listening to Basie since I was a child in the sixties here in South Africa and I couldn't agree with you more

[@joer3481]

I had the pleasure to have worked with Jimmy Forrest from the Basie band...he and Al Grey came to our town and college to work with younger players......for his # 60 birthday the Count and the band showed up at his house to help celebrate....EPIC 😎

[@martinplatt5928]

@@joer3481 Wow! That's amazing.....would love to have been a fly on the wall!

[@joer3481]

I was on the stairs with my girlfriend.....my jaw hit the floor.....just happened to have my soprano sax with me.....this I will never forget...Jimmy was a huge influence to everyone in the jazz community......his funeral was a " who's who " in the jazz world.....RIP my Friend.

[@martinplatt5928]

After watching the Master at work here with the great musicians in his orchestra, take time out to see him being interviewed by Oscar Peterson around 1980....amazing stuff. Probably one of the best musical interviews I have EVER seen. CBO is the best.

[@juliosajevicas4719]

please, part 3 as soon as possible...thanks!!!!

[@martinplatt5928]

Basie was number 1 when it came to big bands.....amazing...they were truly amazing.

[@chevyvan9568]

your leaving us on the edge of our seats waiting for part 3.

[@robsgirl6465]

My swing band has a gig tonight. This is how I spend the day prior to our shows... chilling out to the CBO.👍😊👍

[@miraclebigevent142]

Does anyone have the song list? Wonderful post. Thanks!

[@sbullar]

Thanks a lot for posting the part 2 of this concert, i was hoping you would. This is probably my favorite of the Basie bands. Butch changed up his solo a little bit here on Whirly Bird, thanks again.

[@JohnMHill-oi6rb]

Wonderful. Eric Dixon is from Halifax -tenor sax/ flute.

[@JohnSmith-dr9vl]

FROM UK (VERY UK) 22.12. 2017. I think i commented before but like to confirm what most folks say on here. If you met the count in the mall you could swear he was a kids nurse. How amazing is the person who wrote saying "How Nice Music Without Any Drug Influence". does he not know most people are on something prescribed or not. Is it not so that US Hospitals are fourth biggest killer. The Govt Cabinet Office here admitted to us that Govt Ministers are on secret drugs so how come muskies aint. We sarted gettin police attacks recently re 1000 pp evidence gathered Cent London on foot re Govt. Local Govt. HM MPs. HM Coroners. HM Bar Council. HM Prosec Service. HM Prisons.Charities.. Lottery Handouts. Media incl BBC. The BBC said "Hide the Evidence Abroad" etc. The police said "We Wont Read Any Evidence".And " The Public Must Never Be Warned". The Lufthansa/Brit Psychological Society Air Crash Cover Up is apparently part of the philosophy. Carsten Spohl CEO at Cologne had a photo copied sheet sent here saying " He Dont Read Emails" Many MEPs implicated ad id Cameron and ten people at his constituency office Witney Oxon.No answer from 1000 mails and blocking is now in force. The indictment 35000 mainly avoid fatalities.The person who says "He Feels Sorry2 for people putting negative ticks re this music. is wrong. Dont feel sorry for no one.No the sentence is not as cut n dried as you will spose. The music is good and the singer we knew nuthin about and when first heard did not align with. Te second time we realised its prob the only effective performance ever with a band of this power. He has been very ill and the med system almost caused his death just as they did me.We dont know about music and maybe theres other singers as good but we reckon he is hard to match. Seems semi gospel training to me.Heres bit of a poser how come this band went everywhere and failed to notice all the crrptn. How come we did notice it. We aint nuthin so maybe its time for all you folks to be nuthin too. When we say nuthin we mean the fastest change artists in Europe. Now ya know why we are gettn attacked. Got it. Or maybe not.Impound the planes. Yeah the trombone solo is not of this planet. EErie. Spine numbing depths. The daily 8am US time chat group Bill and co in TX.on Bob Bellars Ten Tec Receiver who are blaming blacks for everything should listen to this concert. To be fair though they are right in every other way. God Bless em. They are inspirational.

[@btapj5762]

Dennis Rowland made a great start with Basie in this concert.

[@jerryferko8309]

SOOO MANY OUTSTANDING BIG BANDS AND ORCHESTRAS ........BUT THE COUNT AND HIS GUYS ..........AMAZING ....OUTSTANDING .........TERRIFIC .....AND MORE ......

[@bucksix1]

This is a definition. The count says so much with so few words. Butch miles's smile is infectious. Freddie Green makes me smile as much as Butch Miles smiles. I can't imagine how 8 people voted thumbs down. I feel sorry for them

Yeah and don’t forget Paul Cohen on lead trumpet. Big sound,and swung his butt off in the Snooky tradition…and looking like an accountant to boot..Classic

[@joer3481]

The best Sweet Georgia Brown 😎

[@basie802]

Such beauty and perfection in music can only be overcome by God. Count Basie is also a great pianist with sublime touch. Only the deaf doesn´t appreciate... Part 3? Part 3? Part3??

[@budahbaba7856]

*basie80* that is what blows my mind about his music. He was not greedy with his talent. He used his talent to inspire and teach others to continue the pursuit of excellence. He was a musical saint -he was talking through his music about the way that music is supposed to be as an inspiration to greatness, for every one of us, forever. It is not a sin to want excellence, and you don't have to be a jerk to stir it from a person.

[@stanleynkele3649]

The best performance ever by any band of Sammy Nestico 's arrangement of Sweet Georgia Brown. Beautiful tenor sax solo by the one and only Kenny Hing

[@nazarenalusana0691]

Grazie ad KZbin per queste opportunità altrimenti irraggiungibili.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@torquayoilpaint5315]

Hi. What is the name of the singer.

[@JohnMHill-oi6rb]

Eric Dixon was from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.-Wikipedia is wrong as usual. I played with him: When busking with "Bucky" Adams, he joined with us in a number. Great !

[@AlWestwood]

PLEASE... part 3 ?

[@spearson1793]

Basie's band was a finely tuned machine able to burst out with a tidal wave of happy sound like a game of whack-a-mole. Wish Butch Miles' ride cymbals were better microphoned.

[@dionnehendricks1763]

Anyone know what the blues is that is played after Sweet Georgia Brown? I think its the second song

[@EstrineMusic]

Blues for Stephanie

[@bradmuzic]

Blues For Stephanie written by John Clayton (who is the bass player in this concert)

[@JoeyDeLago]

It's good but they ain't following Freddie like the Count told them to.

[@trollza21]

Part 3?

[@didierbrasquies5886]

Très bon orchestre, la perfection absolue !

[@stevesmith6685]

I agree...

[@Thursdaym2]

Think this was an outstanding Basie band.

I think there is just one more number they normally play, one o´clock jump, right?

The swing machine

[@RanBlakePiano]

Great to hear Jada

[@BarryBangemout]

Yes, where's Sonny, Count says his name but can't make it out. I just watched the solo. A valiant effort. Basie only used the best musicians. Although for me personally I would have preferred Rufus or Sonny even Buddy. But this fellow was sensational just the same. I loved the way Count interacted with his solo, his subtle hand gestures are hilarious and profoundly articulate. I also enjoyed the respect he received from Count, the band and the audience in total. Wonderful to see that.

[@jimryan1735]

Re: "Sonny"...I think Basie was referring to Sonny Cohn on trumpet. He had the solo in "Shiny Stockings". Also, drummer Butch Miles did an excellent job in all aspects, IMHO.

[@BarryBangemout]

Hi Jim, Thanks for the info/update... I recently became aware of Butch Miles, and have since been listening to his work, that's available on YT at least. He's awesome! I was so used to seeing Sonny that I wasn't aware of the other greats Basie employed. My other favorites I recently discovered are Duffy Jackson and Harold Jones (kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHjOdGWMZ5xgZ68). Basie always hired the best. As a drummer myself, I recently updated and posted a handful of Buddy Rich charts (kzbin.infovideos?view_as=subscriber) Thanks for sharing!

[@jimryan1735]

Hi Barry- I had the great pleasure of seeing Butch live with Basie back in 1977, and later, after Basie had passed, in the late 90's and early 2000's. Great player and great guy. Harold Jones still plays very well (Now with Tony Bennett).

[@BarryBangemout]

Wow! Very cool sir indeed! Thanks for sharing (again), very nice of you to do so. Feel free to browse my channel when you get a chance, maybe something there you'll enjoy... :) All the best Barry.

Quel bonheur !

[@barrynelson201]

Having played many of the Count's charts in a big band, no one can add just the right piano embellishments to make the piece work. What a talent. I am a 65 year old trumpet player that just cannot get enough of this band. Thanks Count, I know you are playing for the people up stairs and some day, I hope to hear you in person again.

[@HadEnough745]

Wow does this band sound so much better with Butch on drums.

[@richardchiappetta5777]

Lots of great Basie Band drummers over the years - In my opinion - Butch was the best...…..

[@btapj5762]

The drummer has a great influence on the sound ot the band, each one has a different style. Jo Jones, Sonny Payne, Rufus Speedy Jones, Harold Jones, it is hard to tell who is the best.

[@geezergonewile]

My favorite Basie drummer was Rufus Speedy Jones. Then comes Charles J. Thornton Jr., a/k/a Butch Miles. But they all were fantastic!

[@ИгорьБухтеев-ю5з]

[@Thursdaym2]

Yes, where's Sonny, Count says his name but can't make it out.

[@kevinbollinger2083]

Sonny Payne was playing with Harry James at the time of his death.

[@pops1507]

@@kevinbollinger2083 Loved the man.

[@kevinbollinger2083]

Plus, Butch Miles is right up there with Sonny as one of the greatest drummers of all time.

28.8.18 UK. Cont Basie Lyrics.UTUBE Forgot to say- nobody "seems" to care Not quite the whole truth. The 12 yrs we taipsed London streets accompanied by the abused victims of the Legal. Political. Charity. Health. Police. Home Office. Embassy Local govt. Media systems incl the BBC proved to us without any doubt that holistic selfless caring across contexts did not and does not exist. We found one and a half people despite 7 days a week effort. There was no shortage of people offering aggression. The threats to kill us made by US Security firms working in Uk was enhanced by the US Embassy.The 1999pp evidence clearly indicates establ manslaughter. Oh, we almost forgot the Universities corruption incl the Dusseldorf lunatics helping Lufthansa to cover up re air crash. We refer to the Euro secrecy re Mental Health of courseWE did not need the BBCs advice "hide documents abroad". Nobody does care. Try proving 1000 pp evidence aint so. The courts and royals cant. Can you The police attacks on us have failed.

[@romainjaccoud7936]

My first JAZZ cassette at the age of 9 or 10 was Basie's Boogie. I since then revere this master as one of my main influence and sincerely, one of the musicians I more admire and listen to every day God allows me to live, helping me to forget about the shithole this planet is more and more becoming.
