3:52 - Basie directs the hit and just after, looks pleased by its crispness. Very nice.

Who's playing lead trumpet here? It may be Jimmy Crawford but I'm not sure, he was there at that time '81-'83 prior to Byron Stripling joining. Is that Michael Williams on the right end? He's been the lead player since the late '80's

If anyone criticizing one of Basie's trumpet players knew what they were talking about it would be them in that chair, but clearly it ain't them.

It's not good music ,nor good musicians ... it's music at it's best and awesome musicians lead by a genius : Count Basie !
To all you morons who criticize a Basie lead trumpet player Shut the Hell up!
It's Basie - and to all of those that have been critical we all know that you don't have an ounce of endurance to play with this band, or any band of this caliber. Keep practicing and working on Arbans, Walter Smith, Irons, Vizzuti, Schlosberg and anything that can help you be a better player. I'm sick and tired of people criticizing players when they aren't working on their craft.
