@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.

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.
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"
