Back to the Apple
Did any musician have more fun playing jazz than Count Basie? Listen to
this song and you’ll know why his orchestra bridges big band swing with
modern jazz. The Count plays effortlessly yet energetically, as if he
had just arrived at a dull party, plopped down at the piano, and said,
“Let’s get this joint jumpin’.” And suddenly everyone’s dancing. This
song is featured on video collection of Count Basie.
