The grand masters of big band music Basie and the gang😎
so fucking hot
who is the alto sax in midnight sun never sets?
That's my jazz! Yes!
They were the "swingingest" band in the land.
We sang so much Count Basie in my high school jazz choir , this one we sang of course!
This was HEAT
Enjoyed it very much
Who's listening in 2020…9/4/20 weekend of the Detroit Jazz Festival!
True African American Discipline, magnificent!
I miss Sonny Payne
That trombone player kills his solo
They had "swagger". They were confident. Frank Wess told me they played about 300 dates a year, and that the band I was in would never be able to come close to playing this way, that it came from the organic experience of doing it all the time, getting paid, high level, practice but most importantly performance, and he said after playing together every day like that they all knew each other, the sounds, the notes and their lives. This period of JAZZ MUSIC WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. When you watch Lockjaw you see SWAGGER and the look that says, I know I'm bad. But not arrogance, because at this time Sonny Stitt, or Johnny Griffin, or Rollins or Miles or Trane or anyone might show up, so there was no need for arrogance. and Making a little money helps. Bill Hughes told me they were stars! That is the other difference CONFIDENCE, you don't learn that in college either. And Mr. Basie ran a tight ship, stage presence, business, no drinking on stage, no talking etc. Classic African -American disciplined Jazz.
Awww man. What's with the ill placed commercials!? Why does it do that?!
Otherwise great recording
These people just talk with their instruments. Brings you to tears
He didn't let racism get to him.
I'm only 58 But I love big band and SWING.
awesome thank you!
Marshall Royal playing in the fine tradition of the Alto Giants Johnny Hodges , Benny Carter , beautiful sound
10:01 Just leaving this time stamp for me. Carry on.
Marshall Royal played with Basie for years, even after the Count's death.
