   ▓████▓▌       The late-'60s Count Basie Band, featuring the             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       frenetic, surging tenor sax of Eddie "Lockjaw"            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Davis, was spotlighted on this 17-cut CD reissue,         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       part of a series issued by the French Esoldun label       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       and available as an import. The band stuck to its         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       predictable pattern of alternating mid-tempo and          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       fast-paced numbers, blues and vocal change-of-pace        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       items, plus slower treatments, all done in a              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       relaxed, highly professional fashion. The menu            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       included "Going to Chicago Blues," "In a Mellow           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Tone," "Lil' Darlin," "Stormy Monday Blues" and           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       "Cherokee," as well as the expected closer "Jumping       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       At the Woodside." The arrangements, ensemble              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       interaction and general performances were good, if        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       not exceptional, and Basie's customary sparse piano       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       licks were timely and right in the groove.                ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌

   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Count Basie was among the most important                  ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       bandleaders of the swing era. With the exception of       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       a brief period in the early '50s, he led a big band       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       from 1935 until his death almost 50 years later,          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       and the band continued to perform after he died.          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Basie's orchestra was characterized by a light,           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       swinging rhythm section that he led from the piano,       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       lively ensemble work, and generous soloing. Basie         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       was not a composer like Duke Ellington or an              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       important soloist like Benny Goodman. His                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       instrument was his band, which was considered the         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       epitome of swing and became broadly influential on        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       jazz.                                                     ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Both of Basie's parents were musicians; his father,       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Harvie Basie, played the mellophone, and his              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       mother, Lillian (Childs) Basie, was a pianist who         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       gave her son his earliest lessons. Basie also             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       learned from Harlem stride pianists, particularly         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Fats Waller. His first professional work came             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       accompanying vaudeville performers, and he was part       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       of a troupe that broke up in Kansas City in 1927,         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       leaving him stranded there. He stayed in the              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Midwestern city, at first working in a silent movie       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       house and then joining Walter Page's Blue Devils in       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       July 1928. The band's vocalist was Jimmy Rushing.         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Basie left in early 1929 to play with other bands,        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       eventually settling into one led by Bennie Moten.         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Upon Moten's untimely death on April 2, 1935, Basie       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       worked as a soloist before leading a band initially       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       called the Barons of Rhythm. Many former members of       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       the Moten band joined this nine-piece outfit, among       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       them Walter Page (bass), Freddie Green (guitar), Jo       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Jones (drums), and Lester Young (tenor saxophone).        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Jimmy Rushing became the singer. The band gained a        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       residency at the Reno Club in Kansas City and began       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       broadcasting on the radio, an announcer dubbing the       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       pianist "Count" Basie.                                    ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Basie got his big break when one of his broadcasts        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       was heard by journalist and record producer John          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Hammond, who touted him to agents and record              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       companies. As a result, the band was able to leave        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Kansas City in the fall of 1936 and take up an            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       engagement at the Grand Terrace in Chicago,               ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       followed by a date in Buffalo, NY, before coming          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       into Roseland in New York City in December. It made       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       its recording debut on Decca Records in January           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       1937. Undergoing expansion and personnel changes,         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       it returned to Chicago, then to the Ritz Carlton          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Hotel in Boston. Meanwhile, its recording of "One         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       O'Clock Jump" became its first chart entry in             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       September 1937. The tune became the band's theme          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       song and it was later inducted into the Grammy Hall       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       of Fame.                                                  ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Basie returned to New York for an extended                ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       engagement at the small club the Famous Door in           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       1938 that really established the band as a success.       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       "Stop Beatin' Round the Mulberry Bush," with              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Rushing on vocals, became a Top Ten hit in the fall       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       of 1938. Basie spent the first half of 1939 in            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Chicago, meanwhile switching from Decca to Columbia       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Records, then went to the West Coast in the fall.         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       He spent the early '40s touring extensively, but          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       after the U.S. entry into World War II in December        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       1941 and the onset of the recording ban in August         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       1942, His travel was restricted. While on the West        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Coast, he and the band appeared in five films, all        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       released within a matter of months in 1943: Hit           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Parade of 1943, Reveille with Beverly, Stage Door         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Canteen, Top Man, and Crazy House. He also scored a       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       series of Top Ten hits on the pop and R&B charts,         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       including "I Didn't Know About You" (pop, winter          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       1945); "Red Bank Blues" (R&B, winter 1945); "Rusty        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Dusty Blues" (R&B, spring 1945); "Jimmy's Blues"          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       (pop and R&B, summer/fall 1945); and "Blue Skies"         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       (pop, summer 1946). Switching to RCA Victor               ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Records, he topped the charts in February 1947 with       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       "Open the Door, Richard!," followed by three more         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Top Ten pop hits in 1947: "Free Eats," "One O'Clock       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Boogie," and "I Ain't Mad at You (You Ain't Mad at        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Me)."                                                     ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       The big bands' decline in popularity in the late          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       '40s hit Basie as it did his peers, and he broke up       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       his orchestra at the end of the decade, opting to         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       lead smaller units for the next couple of years.          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       But he was able to reform the big band in 1952,           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       responding to increased opportunities for touring.        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       For example, he went overseas for the first time to       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       play in Scandinavia in 1954, and thereafter               ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       international touring played a large part in his          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       schedule. An important addition to the band in late       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       1954 was vocalist Joe Williams. The orchestra was         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       re-established commercially by the 1955 album Count       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Basie Swings - Joe Williams Sings (released on Clef       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Records), particularly by the single "Every Day (I        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Have the Blues)," which reached the Top Five of the       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       R&B charts and was later inducted into the Grammy         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Hall of Fame. Another key recording of this period        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       was an instrumental reading of "April in Paris"           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       that made the pop Top 40 and the R&B Top Ten in           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       early 1956; it also was enshrined in the Grammy           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Hall of Fame. These hits made what Albert Murray          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       (co-author of Basie's autobiography, Good Morning         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Blues) called the "new testament" edition of the          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Basie band a major success. Williams remained with        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Basie until 1960, and even after his departure, the       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       band continued to prosper.                                ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       At the first Grammy Awards ceremony, Basie won the        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       1958 awards for Best Performance by a Dance Band          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       and Best Jazz Performance, Group, for his Roulette        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Records LP Basie. Breakfast Dance and Barbecue was        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       nominated in the dance band category for 1959, and        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Basie won in the category in 1960 for Dance with          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Basie, earning nominations the same year for Best         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Performance by an Orchestra and Best Jazz                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Performance, Large Group, for The Count Basie             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Story. There were further nominations for best jazz       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       performance for Basie at Birdland in 1961 and The         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Legend in 1962. None of these albums attracted much       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       commercial attention, however, and in 1962, Basie         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       switched to Frank Sinatra's Reprise Records in a          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       bid to sell more records. Sinatra-Basie satisfied         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       that desire, reaching the Top Five in early 1963.         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       It was followed by This Time by Basie! Hits of the        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       50's and 60's, which reached the Top 20 and won the       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       1963 Grammy Award for Best Performance by an              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Orchestra for Dancing.                                    ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       This initiated a period largely deplored by jazz          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       fans that ran through the rest of the 1960s, when         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Basie teamed with various vocalists for a series of       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       chart albums including Ella Fitzgerald (Ella and          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Basie!, 1963); Sinatra again (the Top 20 album It         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Might as Well Be Swing, 1964); Sammy Davis, Jr.           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       (Our Shining Hour, 1965); the Mills Brothers (The         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Board of Directors, 1968); and Jackie Wilson              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       (Manufacturers of Soul, 1968). He also reached the        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       charts with an album of show tunes, Broadway              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Basie's ... Way (1966).                                   ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       By the end of the 1960s, Basie had returned to more       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       of a jazz format. His album Standing Ovation earned       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       a 1969 Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Jazz       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Performance by a Large Group or Soloist with Large        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Group (Eight or More), and in 1970, with Oliver           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Nelson as arranger/conductor, he recorded Afrique,        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       an experimental, avant-garde album that earned a          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       1971 Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Performance by       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       a Big Band. By this time, the band performed              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       largely on the jazz festival circuit and on cruise        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       ships. In the early 1970s, after a series of              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       short-term affiliations, Basie signed to Pablo            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Records, with which he recorded for the rest of his       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       life. Pablo recorded Basie prolifically in a              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       variety of settings, resulting in a series of             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       well-received albums: Basie Jam earned a 1975             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Performance by a          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Group; Basie and Zoot was nominated in the same           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       category in 1976 and won the Grammy for Best Jazz         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Performance by a Soloist; Prime Time won the 1977         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Grammy for Best Jazz Performance by a Big Band; and       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       The Gifted Ones by Basie and Dizzy Gillespie was          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       nominated for a 1979 Grammy for Best Jazz                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Instrumental Performance by a Group. Thereafter,          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Basie competed in the category of Best Jazz               ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Instrumental Performance by a Big Band, winning the       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Grammy in 1980 for On the Road and in 1982 for Warm       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Breeze, earning a nomination for Farmer's Market          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Barbecue in 1983, and winning a final time, for his       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       ninth career Grammy, in 1984 for 88 Basie Street.         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Basie's health gradually deteriorated during the          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       last eight years of his life. He suffered a heart         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       attack in 1976 that put him out of commission for         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       several months. He was back in the hospital in            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       1981, and when he returned to action, he was              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       driving an electric wheel chair onto the stage. He        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       died of cancer at 79.                                     ▓▌

   ▓████▓▌       Count Basie was admired as much by musicians as by        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       listeners, and he displayed a remarkable                  ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       consistency in a bandleading career that lasted           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       long after swing became an archival style of music.       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       After his death, his was one of the livelier ghost        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       bands, led in turn by Thad Jones, Frank Foster, and       ▓▌
