Basie is THE MAN...blessed to have listened to him and his orchestras for 60 years...never gets old...makes my heart and soul sing!

[@billboulware1]

Basie lights a slow burning fuse that ends with the most explosive band of all time.

[@johnastrup1549]

Sonny Payne one of the greates drummer with Basie !

[@PabluchoViision]

Bill Basie could flat out play the piano. His pithy style just didn't let most casual observers see that. Here he lets loose a little bit (for him, a lot!!!). Impeccable timing, technique, and taste. ............. and that band, boy did it swing smooth.
Possibly the most perfect band in American music history.

[@gerarddelgrande]

I totally agree with you Norman !! He was a great man !!

[@davepaterson935]

Basie said his idea was to simplify. He plays silences like notes. Magical stuff. If you haven't heard it, listen to his version of Shine On Harvest Moon... he strips the melody back to its bare bones yet your mind still follows the tune. Incredible. Listening to the Count I see where Monk was coming from.

[@luiszuluaga6575]

For sure the band from their Kansas City days were hot and swingin’!

[@zoomzoom3950]

Basie, Jones, Green, Payne - greatest swing rhythm section ever.
IMHO

[@daveyboy731]

My Superb Basie was the greatest all his bands were superb IM a BASIE NUT

[@fernandoblascobalbastre1283]

Count Basie dá una lección magistral, en el primer tema, de cómo sacar todos los matices al piano, con una falsa simplicidad con su mano derecha. Una obra maestra, su interpretación.

[@johnastrup1549]

World greatest rhythm group.

[@davepaterson935]

The percussion section - piano, guitar, double bass and drums - was the engine-room of every band he had! It's where the swing came from. And it don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing.

[@thardingau]

How could anybody not like this?

[@richardbrown1189]

Has any other musician in history ever achieved so much with so little as the Count? Just fabulous, I could listen to that intro to I Needs to be Bee'd With all day long.

[@billboulware1]

Basie Band was AWESOME.

[@TomDjll]

The tune is "I Needs To Be Be'ed With," by Quincy Jones.

[@robertrodrigues7319]

Oh Boy!!! WOW!! Literally "Music to my ears"

[@rappleman100]

My Dad turned me on to this and I am so grateful. Love you Loy Appleman. -Richard

There would be no Butch Miles without Sonny Payne. That's Frank Wess on flute.

[@beausalgado]

The guitarist doesn't count enough for it to be a trio.

[@Longshotsblues]

I Needs to Be Bee'd With

[@JeromeWhitehead-g2r]

The count is mean with it....!!!!!!

[@user417s4]

[@daviddalton9214]

Basie, less is more.

[@sailin1934]

trumpeter buck clayton said that in his opinion butch miles was the best drummer suited to basies band, he should know

[@ash-cg3kg]

woah

[@brianlemaire4221]

He starts out on those keys on the high end of the piano. That's his trademark. Kind of like a high-wire act.

[@matthewlux9351]

You don't hear Freddie playing?

[@scottjb9]

Who's that on flute?

[@michaelhorton1350]

scott j. buxton
