The wonderful Bill Hughes on trombone. Sonny Cohn and Frank Foster. And way back in the trumpets looks to be high note specialist Irv Stokes. Only dogs could hear his top note. Lol.
I was fortunate to hear the Basie band numerous times in the 1970’s & 80’s and this is the first time I heard Bill Hughes play an improvised solo. Usually the written solo in April in Paris. He sounded great.
Top le pianiste avec son jeu made in "Basie" !
Six years after Basie's death (in 1984, at 79), the band carries on....
And on, and on, and on... like so much other jazz, it is 20th Century classical music. That's also a hell of a lot of fun!

Jerry Lewis and Family Guy led me here and I'm so glad they did!
wow the tempo slowed down as hell
As long as it grooves nobody cares about the tempo, and the Basie band knows how to grove.
2:30-2:50
Sonny Cohn!!!
