Check out the bass player at around 1:00, he's pushing the time so hard...no prisoners! Thanks for this. Basie had the swingingest band ever...such a great feel. Cheers from NZ...I'm playing this with a big band tomorrow but it won't be this good!
I played this for my senior concert at Highschool. I can't say that I was quite as good as ether of those two gentlemen, but I think I did the Count good.
Don Estridge High Tech Middle School is playing this and we rule. Count is amazing and we are doing him proud, im the Basist and it is intense
