DIANE IS MAGNIFICENT!!! What a voice ! I love you Diane !

[@luizcarloscantelmo8552]

To call her talent amazing it's not enough ! It goes beyond that !

[@samedelcup1878]

This band swings as hard as when Basie was leading. Diane Schuur is a delight.

[@steveanderson6180]

Agreed. I was lucky enough to witness them a couple years before Count passed. A crowd of kids, elderly, all ages, screaming!! He actually teared up a little. One of the true highlights of my life. The band was on fire. They lit the crowd on fire. It just got hotter from there.

[@beverlyharris9859]

❤👍 GREAT I LOVE DIANE AND I LOVE THE BASIE BAND. SENSATIONAL AWESOME BEAUTIFUL HEAVENLY AMAZING WONDERFUL PHENOMENAL EXTRAORDINARY!!!!THANKS FOR THIS CONCERT. MARVELOUS!

the mic on the baritone sax was a bit hot....but I love bari, so ....cool. Schuur = fabulous

[@martinplatt5928]

Incredible band....just incredible. The BEST ever

[@cy3754]

Man, this Lady can groove. She hits the notes that go right to my soul - the Janis Joplin of JAZZ!

[@johnyB615]

She’s always been a terribly overlooked singer. Not sure why some studio hasn’t done more with her.

[@thenel2162]

i saw the band in 1990 . A few different people but still swinging like crazy! Duffy jackson was on drums. Frank foster really had the band killin!

[@JohnMHill-oi6rb]

WoW, Count Basie in 2021 !

[@jazz64]

Музыка от души и для души! Как хорошо, что я это нашёл!

[@lukecinto]

Ace Carter When Count Basie died, his chair in the band was filled by a longtime Cleveland jazz pianist, Carl "Ace" Carter. Born in Youngstown, Carter came to Cleveland in 1954 with the Joe Cooper band. Another member ofthat band was a trombonist named Mel Wanzo. Three decades later it was Wanzo, then playing on the Basie band, who recommended that Carter take over the important piano chair in the Basie band. During a 30-year period, Carter had become a leader on the Cleveland jazz scene. He played regularly at the Boarding House Restaurant on Euclid Avenue and many other jazz spots in Cleveland. He performed with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Sonny Stitt and recorded with George Benson, Emmett Berry and Thelonious Monk and Jimmy Scott. Despite his vast experience playing with some of the best small jazz groups in Cleveland for more than 30 years, it was not an easy assignment taking over the role of the legendary Count Basie in the band. He said in a 1990 interview with the Cleveland Plain Dealer, "He's sitting right there next to me, right there beside me." Carter never tried to imitate Basie's piano style. He said, "I'm pretty much on my own as far as soloing goes. " Carter toured with the Frank Foster-led Basie band throughout the United States and to several foreign countries. He remembered one ofthe high spots was a week in London with Ella Fitzgerald. But, eventually, the rigors of almost constant travel with the Basie band began to wear on Carter. Even though many of the trips were by plane, Ace said, "Getting up and making those flights was not easy. And you don't always get enough sleep or eat the right kind of food." Carter left the band in 1991 and returned to Cleveland where he continued performing while battling a series of medical problems. Ace died of kidney failure September 20, 1996 at the age of 65. Jazz musicians from across the country, including many members of the Basie band, attended his funeral service at St. Mark's Presbyterian Church on East Boulevard in Cleveland.

[@damonpoppleton5661]

thanks for this insight, very interesting. Carl was always fantastic with the Basie band.

[@seanswinton6242]

Thanks for the information you posted. I just wanted to hear some swinging Basie and it's not on my phone some I came across this. I myself am battling chronic kidney disease as I post this. Music is my natural drug among all of the pills I need to keep me going. Inspiration, motivation, and an uplift as I battle this ailment. I have more than a decade to reach 65, but for now that sounds reasonable. Thanks again!

[@ronaldunkel2681]

Sean Swinton Sean, i just read (12/10/20) your comment wishing you all the best. With regards to the Basie Big Band who’ve i seen twice, in 79/80. Yes, Deedles is one of the best in the business. But the band itself was thriving , imo, during the Roulettes/Pablo label years. All the best. Cheers!

[@michaelhorton1350]

The Carter comment re: Basie on bench beside him made braying laughter. Imagine (it’s impossible) taking Basie chair…alongside Green? Cold sweat indeed!

[@diannagamble5158]

Our family, Carter, Whipples, thank you so much for your kind, true words about our humble, Genius, gentle giant Brother, Ace, Carl as we called him. We wish he was here for one more hug, kiss & tell my brother, you are still my hero, your baby Sister!

[@ronaldunkel2681]

The fabulous Count Basie band with , Frank Foster leading this most swingingest and the best band ever. And then we have “Deedles” like-she was born to sing/play with this fantastic band. Great clip and thanks for this beaut upload. Dig the swingin’, Enjoy, G’day & Cheers!

Legendary performance. It's in my vinyl collection

[@lukecinto]

There is a vinyl of this particular performance??? That must sound astonishing!! I would love to hear that!

[@viderethevaccinatorfromhol7536]

@@lukecinto i bought it a few years ago at an auction. Didn't know it is so rare. Come visit my music room 😉

[@stevesmith6685]

Ace Carter... I'm listening late at night. He did a tremendous job being himself. And melding with the Basie sound. And making it seemless. God Bless Him and Frank Foster and all the musicians on this video. (Thank God for KZbin!) Saw Basie and the Basie bands after Basie live from the 1970s to last January and will do again if they tour. Ace, you are an Ace. Thanks to all!

[@alaynawhipple3585]

Ace Carter is my Uncle! ❤

Looking forward to working with Ms. Schurr this Sunday with the Coachella Valley Symphony . She was supposed to guest with us two years ago ,but Covid intervened.

Nice to hear Bob Florence's "Only You." It's also a great instrumental titled "A Soundsketch."

Yes Diane is one of a kind! But don't ignore this band oh my god! Steamroller coming into town watch out girls!

[@josephsudlersr.7854]

This is what Big band should sound like swinging on all levels

[@Streisand70]

I've seen her perform live 4 times. Why does she never go for the high note at the end of Amazing Grace?

[@sla68495]

Please forgive me. Only now have I discovered you

[@maggiebrown7577]

Great sounds, thanks to Frank Foster

[@tfronauer]

When the 4th chair trumpet is poppin’ off high As like nuthin’ you know the whole band is mean.

[@user-ej6xd6wf7u]

Jazz is a celebration. Now in Russia too. )

[@AJ_MD]

Track 11. 'Climbing Higher Mountains', not a repeat of 'I Just Found Out'

[@lukecinto]

Thank you, mistake corrected

[@michaelhorton1350]

Once a Blue Devil...always a Blue Devil.

[@bigjimsjazz]

That's "Byron" Stripling playing trumpet and lead at that.

[@lukecinto]

Thank you, updated

[@rmo52]

Thanks for this. Byron Stripling just has a tone of STEEL. Every chair graced by the best cats, through and through. Too bad the personnel list is messed up. Tain't no Gregg Fields on drums. Dennis Mackrel, right?

[@jimky716]

Dave Gibson

[@basiefriend]

Certainly not Dennis Mackrel

[@BassmanII]

I believe either James Leary or Cleveland Eaton was the longest tenured bassist of the CBO. Anyone confirm that?

[@BassmanII]

Buffalo native George Caldwell took over for Ace Carter.

[@carolinecorman1716]

Lady Di of jazz.

[@gloriasmall9323]

P.S. I AM ENJOYING MY SOX OFF!!

[@saxman14214]

I haven't heard her a long time.. where is she?

[@WPM_in_ATL]

Luke: Did this air on TQS or Radio-Canada? Looking at the credits, it mentions TQS, but I thought this would be a R-C sort of show.

[@lukecinto]

I have no idea, I was only 4 when this aired.. I saw it on TV some 25+ years ago, and ever since the internet had become a thing, I was looking for any video recording.

[@robertcochrane4251]

Sonny Cohn

[@michaelhorton1350]

Sure did empathize w/2nd alto during tenor solo visibly cribbing notes for woodshed later. To think of pressure…. Foster arrangements were among the best in Basie book. But Nestico, Quincy, Chico O’Farrill and Ernie Wilkins made charts to die for.

[@jimky716]

That is NOT Dennis Mackrel on drums. Most likely Dave Gibson.

[@jamesbrooks4618]

Who is the bassist Wow

[@donwendorf2401]

Cleve Eaton from Birmingham, AL. Unfortunately, Cleve passed away not too long ago, but he still played around Birmingham after leaving CBO and had his own club for a time. A great guy and we miss him here.

[@thenel2162]

definitely not gregg field on drums! Looks like dennis mackrel.

[@rmo52]

I think it is Mackrel, yes.

[@AJ_MD]

@@rmo52 Last drummer employed by Basie himself. Nice guy, Dennis.

[@user-ln7vi5ev1s]

聖樂享宴

[@2mikelim]

Unfortunately the tonal balance of this recording is lob sided. Too much screechy highs and too little bottom. In a live performance its the other way round! Such is the doctrine of audio engineers of the 80's and early 90's!

[@respekt200]

Unfortunately terribly overcompressed,,
