  • The piece is called "A salute to the Count (The Basie Band is back in town)" and the bass trombone is played by Dave´s son Chris. A famous version of this piece was taken in December 2000 on the CD "80th Birthday Concert: Live With the LSO"

  • Priceless - never heard this piece by Dave before. Many thanks !!

  • @BuckshotLaFunke Listen to Brubeck from the early fifties and you'll see he could really swing before he wrote "Take Five" ( in 5/4 time) & "Blue Rhondo a La Turk" ( in 9/8 time). Listen to some of the cuts on his albums during the 60's and you'd realize he could swing as hard as Basie even back then.

  • "Big Bad Basie"!!))

    

  • Ol'Bill Basie

  • La mia versione preferita.

  • What is the name of this piece? I have it but have never found a name for it!

  • Well, Dave learned to swing after all. I find his left hand interesting, the way he accompanies himself strumming (I don't mean the stride passage later on). George Shearing does something similar. It enables a jazz pianist to play modern jazz solo, something that e.g. Joe Albany (Charlie Parker's early pianist) said would be impossible.
