Lo que dicen

  • Basie has managed to assemble an ensemble that can thrill both the listener who remembers 1938 and the youngster who has never before heard a big band like this.

    DownBeatOn the New Testament band, 1950s
  • The only perfect, completely perfect recording session I’ve ever had anything to do with.

    John HammondOn the band’s first session, Chicago, October 1936
  • The Basie band took much of its character from the subtle way the Count’s pithy, elliptical attack framed his shouting brass and saxes.

    Geoffrey SmithBBC Music Magazine, 3 December 2024
  • Undismayed by Chick’s forceful drum beating, the Count maintained an attitude of poise and self-assurance.
