Basie Major Move

This is a typical chord movement that you will hear in jazz. Occasionally, you'll find it written in as part of the lead sheet. However, you can also use them to fill out long major chords. I demonstrate both in the lesson.
I call them Basie moves because I associate the sound with Count Basie.

Chord movements are a beautiful part of jazz piano. This one is very common and you have probably heard it before. Sometimes it's written on a lead sheet but a lot of the time, we use them or variations of them to fill time. Hope it helps you! Shan

Count Basie In My Opinion played like a Painter. The whole Band was the Painting but at the Beginning and End you had a Few Basie keys that was like his signature on a masterpiece. You can easily tell a Basie tune with those signature Key strokes at the right time.

I agree with you. There was no-one like him! I love Basie and the band.
