The Basie Band at it's highest - best. This is what the band was famous for - that driving pulsing dynamo rhythm section generating energy like an atomic reactor. That thumping throbbing beat - played through big speakers it would make a building & shake and vibrate. Must be the great swinging Jo Jones on drums. And of course Freddie Green on guitar. With solos by Lester Young & Coleman Hawkins & other jazz greats. One of the best Basie Big Band numbers I ever heard . Thanks for uploading it!
Wow! Fantastic sound, great solos,especially the trombone! Thanks for posting this.

Actually, Prez sits out this number; Ben Webster takes the first solo. Nothin' wrong with that!!
