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.

The Basie band took much of its character from the subtle way the Count’s pithy, elliptical attack framed his shouting brass and saxes.
Undismayed by Chick’s forceful drum beating, the Count maintained an attitude of poise and self-assurance.
