  • Lin Biviano. Poor choice Mr Basie

  • @simontrumpet1

    Hmmm, I guess too.. Woody Herman, Maynard Ferguson, and Buddy Rich on three different occasions, to name a small number of bandleaders who thought otherwise.

  • toooooo slowwww.

  • Who's the tenor soloist?

  • @rdangelo

    Kenny Hing. He took over the tenor spot vacated by Jimmy Forrest.

  • I love Lin Biviano's sound, it is so cool, the fast vibrato and everything is just great, he really set the style for lead players we know today, his main influence was chet feretti who played for maynard in the early 60's, you can hear the influence. I like this arrangement but why didn't he have another, this was buddy rich's or vice versa with buddy

  • Butch Miles came to my school (I'm a band director) along with the CBO back in 1997 for our annual jazz concert. He was very friendly, and we talked quite a bit. I mentioned that the rhythm section pictured here on this video was my favorite one of all of Basie's rhythm sections--he agreed with me! He said that he felt that it was THIS very band where he had more fun than any other time of his life. That night back in '97, Grover Mitchell and CBO blew the roof off the auditorium!

  • @ckauffold Butch was THE right drummer for Basie. I saw him and the Basie many times each time they came to Paris - and had the honour of meeting Butch having a meal at the house of some French musicians. Am trying to find the DVD of the concert he gave in Germany - tribute to Buddy Rich. Butch drive the band without being "over-powerful". His breaks at the crescendos were perfect.
