Gregg Field was not as spectacular or showy as say Butch, Duffy, or Sonny but he was a great solid all around swinging drummer that fit right in with the Basie rhythm section.
@ex59neo53 As I said before: "Count Basie Live in Europe 1981", Laser Swing Productions. I hope you find it, it's wonderful, as you can hear and see!
Love the flugelhorn solo . Just so controlled, no hurry or fluffed notes.

On bass is the unmistakeable, incomprable Cleveland Eaton.

It must hurt musicians to know that Count Basie, way beyond his prime, was still better than ANYTHING else around!

@wlipman I don't think so. A true musician enjoys Basie's music.

@stevebul Well, when you say Sonny, you must know he was one of the greatest drummers in history!
