COUNT BASIE Excerpts from the oddly titled "Dance of the Gremlins" (thanks to mfb25890 & mbdavis10025 for the song I.D.), and "Swingin' the Blues", c. 1941.

This is some of the HOTTEST big band swing of the 40s!

Don Byas on tenor, Harry "Sweets" Edison & then later Buck Clayton, trumpet, Jo Jones drums...

    Do you have available a more complete list of the band's members at the time of this clip? I was hoping to see Lester Young playing with the band, but I believe he had already departed by 1940.

    Sorry, I don't have a list of the band's members at the time of this clip, but maybe another viewer does, & can share?

    I didn't recognize everybody - but that's Jo Jones on drums, Count on piano, Harry "Sweets" Edison on trumpet, Buck Clayton on trumpet, Dicky Wells on trombone, Earl Warren on alto - and I believe that's Don Byas taking the tenor saxophone solos. (He quotes Lester Young's solo on "Swingin' the Blues".)

    That's Count Basie.

    How do you mix up Count Basie with Duke Ellington? They looked nothing alike and their orchestras sounded completely different.

    William Basie (Red Bank, 21 de agosto de 1904 - Hollywood, Florida, 26 de abril de 1984), conocido como Count Basie, fue un director de big band y pianista estadounidense de jazz.

    Se trata de uno de los músicos de jazz más populares de la historia, vinculado, prácticamente durante cincuenta años, a la dirección de una big band de importante influencia en determinados registros estilísticos del jazz asociados, principalmente, al swing y a su corriente más tradicional.
