Count Basie used to live in my neighborhood. He had a big ol pool and he had the cool grandpa vibe to him.

These two gentlemen have featured strongly in my life, from when I was a small child watching & listening to my Dad playing bluenote records & playing piano, then I started playing aged 4, now I am 52 and still playing blues & jazz piano, thanks to these two giants of the art and my late Dad, who music will always be our strongest link.

If this isn't considered one of the greatest and most poignant recordings in the entire history of jazz, it should be. This is living and breathing PROOF that less can be far, far more than just the sum of its fundamental building blocks. It's the raw expressiveness of bare simplicity that is nearly impossible to achieve in the essence of the purest expression of a musical thought.

After playing the song Counte Basie didn't forget to compliment Oscar P. by saying that his 4-bar-intro was better than his own composition.
