The late Count Basie is one of the jazz immortals. The master of swing, whose beat was the subtlest and supplest of all the bandleaders, Basie featured some of the great soloists in jazz history while he sat unobtrusively at the piano, keeping time with his unmatched rhythm section, showing off the surging power of his brass players, and commenting wittily with a single chord of phrase. A man and musician of reserve and modesty, Basie nonetheless will always be a landmark for his own achievements and for the jazz musicians who passed through his band.
