Editorial Reviews

Product Description

He set the tone for modern jazz accompaniment with his trademark syncopated piano chords. Now you can the very best of the late, great pianist and bandleader William "Count" Basie in rare, archival performances.

Join him in One O'Clock Jump, Basie's Boogie, Jumpin' at the Woodside, and many more, including a rare duet with the legendary Billie Holiday on It's Now Baby Or Never.

No fan of jazz should be without COUNT BASIE SWINGING AT HIS BEST.

Song List:

Rhythm Time Basie's Boogie Swingin' the Blues Conversation Basie's Other Boogie If I Could Be With You One O'Clock Jump God Bless The Child Now Baby or Never Basie Jumps Again Please Take Me Back Quicksand Slow Blues Twenty Minute After Three I'll Get By Count Me In

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greats, January 29, 2009
By Sgt. Bilko (Ca. USA) - See all my reviews
As much as I do not care for jazz, I did give this also as a gift to a jazz fan, and he was very pleased with it. Even I know Count Basie. He with the other greats were pioneers in this uniquely American music that captured the world. If you do not like jazz,but know someone that does, this is the one for them along with the "Legends of Jazz".
