The late Count Basie is one of the jazz immortals. The master of
swing, whose beat was the subtlest and supplest of all the
bandleaders, Basie featured some of the great soloists in jazz
history while he sat unobtrusively at the piano, keeping time with
his unmatched rhythm section, showing off the surging power of his
brass players, and commenting wittily with a single chord or
phrase. A man and musician of reserve and modesty, Basie
nonetheless will always be a landmark for his won achievements and
for the jazz musicians who passed through his band. In this
sociable and pioneering oral history of Basie and his band, Stanley
Dance talks with the Count himself, Jimmy Rushing, Buddy Tate, Buck
Clayton, Joe Williams, Jay McShann, Jo Jones, Dicky Wells, Lester
Young, and a dozen others, who reminisce about each other, Kansas
City jazz, and their legendary peers Billie Holiday and Charlie
Parker. With a rich flow of anecdote, opinion, and biographical
information,and with striking photographs,this history both
documents and assesses the legacy of Basie for American music.
