This is the audition song for rhythm section in my high school's jazz band. I'm a drummer. Really, shouldn't be too hard. Just nail the cues and I'll be good to go.
Count Basie is the Man! He started the Bad Ass version of Jazz, Big Band Swing. He's so awesome, totally laid back, not into himself like a lot of artist were. He's just such a great soul.
@bargaincountertenor Sorry for being wrong. It just though it might have been composed by Count Basie because in our Big Band the lead sheet always says: arragend by Samy Nestico, and i just looked in the Lead Trumpet book of Count Basie from Basie Straight ahead and it says there composer so i' sorry

This song is arranged AND composed by Sammy Nestico. I have the sheet music in front of me. Count Basie is just the performer

This is a good song. It reminds me of Monsters Inc. for some reason.

@jonasisadrummer I worked for Sammy Nestico for 2 years. He did indeed compose AND arrange every note on the "Basie Straight Ahead" album.
