5.0 out of 5 stars Portrait of a Nice Guy
Don't expect a music video--it's a documentary, and an excellent one, much of it in Basie's own words and those of some of his best sidemen. No serious Basie fan should miss it.

2.0 out of 5 stars More narration than music.
This is a narration of Basie's life. Too much narration throughout the video and not enough music. There is not one song played from beginning to end completely.
