@usakylie06

Im 17 and i listen to it cuz im able to understand it. the reason ppl dont lik older music is their minds dont understand wat goes into it so their brains subconsciously dismiss it as boring. they scientifically dont like it because they too stupid to understand it. thats a fact. why do you think all the unintelligent kids in highschools that dont understand basic english listen to rap and pop. its simple and repetitive. obviously u r one of those kids. have fun flippin my burgers

[usakylie06]

r u all fkin 97 or something im 13 and only listenin to this stupid shit cuz of a project lol;P

[TheDudeAbides8734]

Way to be proud of your ignorance. Judging by your grammar (lack thereof) you're obviously not a good student. Now please go away.

[SuperAieee]

@usakylie06 Thanks for showing me nothing but how stupid you are. Thank you! that'll be all.

[shawoody]

Change the photo you fucking asshole.

[venkmanuk]

AAARGH the video cuts of the final note !!! nightmare.

[49roth]

love this song. wow beautiful!!! That's when we had good music!!!

[super5000768]

4 dislikes? wtf? 4 people clearly have no taste

[VandelayCartoons]

If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis.

[aaronaaronjarvis]

I loved this song since I first heard it in 1992 but I didn't know it was Count Basie until 1998 when I watch Blazing Saddles for the millionth time and realized that that was Count Basie there.

[MrCombat1965]

I guess there wasn't a "one more once" after all.

[moradordobrooklin]

Believe me or not, but I simply dindn't know Miles used to play with Basie. Sorry for me. Shame on me 4ever+

[Franco5750]

my favourite radio in gta iv

[Franco5750]

gta iv!!!!



[phatmand2]

I was about 12 or 13 years old when I first heard this in about 1957 or so. My father was a Basie fan and as his health started sliding away, I would bring tapes of Basie so that he could hear them. I still love this music although I played in a rock and roll band in the early 60s.

[nativeson76]

First time I heard this song I must have been about 9 or 10. It was in a Jerry Lewis movie. I think either "Cinderfella" or "Nutty Proferssor." Anyway, the Basie band comes rising out of thre dessert and Jerry does this crazy spastic dance to it. I've been in love with the song ever since.

gta4 in star junction

[MissTrumpetGirl]

I love it! Especailly since its Miles on a Count Basie tune! No sarcasm here, Im all sincere.

[dcsd204]

I didn't notice the pic of Miles was zooming in until I restarted the song.

[aaronrbrundidge]

I've been looking for this version for the longest time! This is from the Verve label release. Too bad the endng was cut off. YouTube does that sometime. Try re-uploading it and see what happens.

[ChemaZappa]

Is Miles

[raquelmishe]

song for relax in GTA IV! ;)

[satziebaby]

Gee ,Miles sounded great on this

[PorterRoc3645]

Out of all the big bands Court Basie is the best. There was no horn section like his and the total band was just super Basie was the working man;s band

[KalKyuLayTor]

Why was there suddenly 'London bridge is falling down' in there?

[TrumpeterDavid]

we play this in our Jazz band and we transpopsed the trumpet pop goes the weasel solo

[TheGosplan]

@TrumpeterDavid yeah, really trans-popsed))

Anyways, the tune is great)

[Eleglas]

@TheGosplan He means Transposed.

[hkavos]

@Eleglas Actually, im in the class with him, strange coincidence. he means transcribed. David, go home.

[Eleglas]

@TrumpeterDavid I play this on my Alto Sax, not in a band mind you, just myself. Been playing for 9 years.

[SonictheHedgehog1212]

my fave part is 1:15 til 1:22 i love the sound of that :P

[locksh]

@SonictheHedgehog1212 man, I heard this song on GTA IV and i looked after it especially because of those few seconds. somebody maybe knows from where is that taken? Nostalgic as hell. Awesome cover by the way.

[HelloherExists]

We play this in our Jazz band. :)

[ratscisum]

You're too damn lazy, forget the Miles Davis pic and go get a proper pic of Count Basie!! There's no excuse but just plain laziness. Saying that, I'm a great fan of Miles, but right is right.

[SuperRod88]

Happy Birthday Count Basie (August 21) RIP

[saxman6077]

No Confusion on the default pic, a good choice, not 1 I would make but a good one.

[scarfacejosh123]

[ChrisisBass13]

I love the trumpet 4 part in this song!!! everyone credits this song to GTA IV, but my school jazz band played this before I heard it on GTA IV. go NHHS!!!!

[SupahflyJazzguy]

Well, he uses Miles in other videos, but what's interesting about this recording, is that the Trumpet solo was actually recorded by Miles.

[cbs2don]

A classic Basic track. Yeah, what's up with the picture of Miles?

[SuperBigdave11]

dON'T LOOK AT THE PICTURE FOR CHRIST SAKE gROOVE TO THE SOUND!

[trumguit]

[rhhmadry]

Doesn't get any better than that; unless they had left the last few bars on the tape

[primusdragon]

[anna5star]

@gsevolved is in the descripcion

[GATEJUMPER1]

what is up with that it cant be "april in paris " with out the "lets try one more once "

please put the whole thing in ,it would be nice .

[poopsyproductions]

I'm in a HS jazz band. We are quite small as we are new, but hey small combo's are deadly. Jazz is now mostly and sadly elevator music to most people.

[mynameismexican]

@poopsyproductions I would sadly agree with you... I was listening to Autumn Leaves and my friend called it elevator music...

[woody95124]

one of the beat & prettiest songs i have ever heard...A compleate classic....wonderfull & awsome written ssong ...a master piece!!!!

[chkjns]

From 1955, now part of my 110 years of pop music. Play any year's music back to 1900 as if you've taken a trip back in time.

250 more playlists honor individual artists like CB for at least an hour !

Thanks for the upload, it's still fantastic ! ! !
