It must hurt musicians to know that Count Basie, way beyond his prime, was still better than ANYTHING else around!

[OscarPetersonFan]

@wlipman I don't think so. A true musician enjoys Basie's music.

Gregg Field was not as spectacular or showy as say Butch, Duffy, or Sonny but he was a great solid all around swinging drummer that fit right in with the Basie rhythm section.

[OscarPetersonFan]

@stevebul Well, when you say Sonny, you must know he was one of the greatest drummers in history!

@ex59neo53 As I said before: "Count Basie Live in Europe 1981", Laser Swing Productions. I hope you find it, it's wonderful, as you can hear and see!

Love the flugelhorn solo . Just so controlled, no hurry or fluffed notes.

[BassmanII]

On bass is the unmistakeable, incomprable Cleveland Eaton.

[ex59neo53]

As i often say : "nightmare for plastered feet" music , is the best ;o)
