In his 80 year life
span, William “Count” Basie so expanded and elevated
the jazz art form that his legacy is regarded as an
“American Institution” by modern music’s
connoisseurs around the world. So, one might predict
the orchestra he founded in 1936 is still thriving
today. The Count Basie Orchestra of today is
nineteen performers committed to upholding and
advancing this institution. Some members are new,
yet the majority of the sound still swings from
musicians handpicked by Count Basie himself.

Orchestra proves it's the best...one
