63 years later and this sounds as good today as it did in 63. What a grooving band. In 60 I just started playing drums and listening to Basie and other jazz players and bands. Because of my Dad's influence ( he played tenor sax) and his the love of playing in big bands, I began to love jazz drums and listening to the greats. In this recording SP plays his butt off!
Good music........Thank you Billy
Second greatest gift my father gave me was a love of jazz, and Count Basie, in particular. He started taking me to see CB when I was 4 and, no joke,they were some of the happiest times in my life. I saw most of the best bands that were still together in the late 50s and through the 60s-Count Basie, Ellington, Woody Herman to name a few and NO ONE swung as hard and with as much restrained POWER and joy as Basie. Thank you for posting this video. You made my day!
Love this band, all great solos!
Billy Mitchell was my friend and my mentor.I am glad to know how you appreciate and honor him..I miss him everyday ..Turk Mauro
Oh Yes!! Thank-you so much for my other life...I will always love the Count's music!
Sonny Payne! Great big band drummer!
I wanna do that when I grow up!
That was the best Basie band
Thank you for this!!
Such a treat to see Thad leap out from the section. And then Wes! Those were some days!!
Wow, Payne. Maximus Beastialis on this. Dang!
Great big band drummer!
Lakeview/RVC in the house!!
Thad Jones short solo is remarkable!!
Billy Mitchell was my Best friend!
I met him in 1962, at Crawfords in
Pittsburgh….he & Al Grey had just
formed the great sextet, that among
other great things, launched Bobby
Hutcherson's career!
When we discovered that we both
lived on Long Island, that was it!
Our friendship endured for 39 years
up to his unfortunate demise in 2001!
If anyone would like to read more of
my reflections on Billy Mitchell, please

I concur with Turk in missing 'B' every day!
What I like in those 'old' clips is the way they focus on the music. The picture is there but there is absolutely no showing off, just music in its purest form. Thanks for sharing!
It was a different time in life and the world!
I was part of it, and I'm still part of it today!
Big difference!
Absolute musical geniuses, in the truest
sense, are extremely hard-pressed to eek
out a few bucks!
Utter chaos prevails in this 'industry', which
is completely under an 'alien' flag!
I, too, new Billy Mitchell and Al Grey - they were quite a team - they should have gone into Stand Up comedy. 2 truly funny and charming guys.
Sonny Payne was " Out of Sight" on Drums. BRB
Basie at apex.
i hope i met my grandfather while do ochestra
Billy
Check out the bass player tuning his bass at 0:39!!!!! HAH!!!!
sounds like a Sammy Nestico chart...
I hope seven years too late is better than nothing: the first of two tunes in this video is Neal Hefti's "Why Not?"; the second is a Benny Carter composition entitled "Vine Street Rumble" - Nestico was not yet a Basie writer at this point.
"Great Footage". This archived stuff ,is off the page .Forget about videos Now..
I hope you all noticed....No charts!
+thepoorpeopleofparis ...... Yes! That's utterly incredible!
VIne Street Rumble 2nd piece at 3;15
Who is the pretty host? What was the name of the program? In any case, thank you RAI (Italian TV/Radio) for preserving this.

Hello. Does anyone know the name of this great song?
what is the name of the first song?
"Why Not?" was first recorded in the early 1950s at a much slower tempo - by this time Basie had livened it up considerably.
lucky bastard
