Description
|
|
|
|
For more than half a century, the Count Basie Orchestra has been introducing millions of people to an original American art form—jazz—presented in a distinctive big-band style originated by William "Count" Basie. While musically moving forward with the times, the band has never lost its roots and tradition—combining the elements of blues, simplicity, and propulsive swing. Basie died in 1984 at 80 years of age, leaving behind a legacy in jazz history that is unsurpassed in the annals of music, and one that continues growing under the virtuosic leadership of composer/arranger/tenor saxophonist Frank Foster. The nine tracks on Basie’s Bag include the title tune, as well as "Hampton Strut," "Here’s That Rainy Day," "Way Out Basie," "For My Lady," and "Count Basie Remembrance Suite."
