So good to hear the band smokin’ again! Also great to hear some burning alto work from a couple absolutely stellar players! Shout out to Mr Glasser! Last time we met was in 1989(?) when I was playing tenor on the Glenn Miller band and we shared a St Louis, MO motel with the Basie band. The Miller band had a night off so some of us rode with the Basie guys (and FRANK FOSTER!) on their bus to the gig. Monumentally cool hang - fun times!
Can't wait until the Basie Band returns to New York and I can see them again, like I have since Mr. Basie was alive, as he used to say, "One more once."
Smokin'!

This is what I call great music, marvelous!
That drummer can swing❤
I don't think Basie would have ever tolerated all this rough-tone playing and showing off.
