    What rhythm! What syncopation! What timing! What brass! What swing!!! The greatest big band in the world playing another one of their greatest and awesome tunes! One clean cut, sharp dressed group of extremely talented musicians led by the magnificent Count Basie. These guys together as a band brought one of the absolute best representations of African American impact on music, named it jazz, and gave it to the world. Changed the world's music tastes for the better from America to Europe to Asia and back! What a sensational phenomenon they were! Although only in my late teens and very early twenties at the time, I was still able to catch this original band live in New York on several occasions and experience what my parents had on dating weekends in NYC clubs, then in our home afterward while I was growing up. Every piece that the Basie band published was magnificent! While most of these talented musicians have gone on, the music they created together will live on forever! What a blessing!

      I saw your dad come and play with our jazz band in college. When he came out and soloed the whole band changed. He and the other originals had something.

    Hoss was how it ended up, but Foss was how it was supposed to be. This is the first time I've seen it as Foss, the way it was. { Franks Oldest son here}

      Al "Jazzbeau" Collins used Blues In Hoss's Flat as his theme song at least from the mid seventies on. KGO-AM, KCSM-FM and some other stations too.

    How is this different than Blues In Hoss's Flat, same song but somewhere along the line the title changed. One of the great Basie charts.

      @grayforester 5 лет назад +1

      There are a hundred details that differ from the album version, which sounds like they had an opportunity to refine it, in phrasing, tempo, riffage. There's no substitute for practice in this idiom.

      Actually I believe "Foss" was his nickname. So the original title was "Blues in Foss' Flat". He changed the title to "Hoss" in honor of Hoss Allen, a country music DJ in Nashville, I think. It's mentioned in the liner notes of the Chairman of the Board album.
