About halfway through Frank's solo I started hearing "Thou Swell," and couldn't get it out of my head;>)

Now that’s class.

Amazing!

So smooooooth.

Was so lucky to study flute with him in his older years. Love his swinging, crafted lines with a nice bright sound that rings out with the big band sound behind it.

when music was music the count had it big time class all the way

nothing like the count and his guys when music was really music nothing like it anywhere

I don't like Solar but do love Jackie McLean so wanted to see if he could make it good but he couldn't - it is too nonsensical musically - Jackie's phrases are all short and choppy.

Very 'modern' Stan Getz here. Haynes drumming is great as usal. Great version overall.

Very 'modern' Stan Getz here. Great version.

Wonderful

the essence of big band playing...

I applaud the comment made by estheringram

Absolutely superb..the band so smooth.

RENE THOMAS on a Gibson ES - 150 guitars - Like the guitar that Charlie Christian played - -

I was taking trombone lessons in the 60s. This song was one of the first songs I learned to play . I loved it but didn't know the name of it or who wrote it.

Fantastisch gespielt ❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Der Beste Jazz Pianist der Welt ❤🎶♥️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️

Remarkable that Ella feels much more at ease when the rhythm and harmonies ging bass sets in - the tune begins to swing.

👏🏾👏🏾

Sublime!!! Great melody, Love this amazing music🎹❤ Thank you God, Count Basie and Neil !! 🎼

From Jazz at the gateway (1983)

Genius

Supreme ! 😎

Amazing to hear Jackie McClean play his own tune ( compared with the more famous version by Miles with Coltrane) - also check out my harmonica version on ‘Free at First’ Sunnyside Records

Only if my high school jazz band sounded half as good as this … I would’ve been happy… We were all over the place … lol

Three "Monsters"....

Bumped into the Count on Michigan Ave in Chicago, sitting on a fire hydrant waiting on his limo...me and my boy were 15-16, he caught my eye because he looked exactly like my grandfather, dressed in the captain's hat, super clean. Tiny man. "Are you Count Basie?" "What you young cats know about Count Basie?" And we impressed him with our jazz knowledge and did his signature ending just to let him know. He laughed hard.

toute une époque. quel trio mythique "meeting"

Snookie!! 🎉🎺

Une des plus belles reprises de notre cher Henri Salvador, avec laquelle il rendit hommage au maestro en y ajoutant des paroles de Daniel Filipacchi et Frank Ténot, en 1963. Paroles à chanter sur le thème : Tous les matins quand j'sors du lit, Je mets un disque de Count Basie. Il ne m'en faut pas d'avantage Pour m'enlever tous mes soucis, Juste un p'tit disque de Count Basie. En prenant mon café au lit, J'écoute un disque de Count Basie. Et ça me donne du courage, Je me sens comme au paradis Avec un disque de Count Basie. Juste un petit disque de Count Basie. Un bon petit disque de Count Basie. Basie, Basie, oui !

Pure fire!! ❤

Delish!
