Plank! Plink! Plank!” The sound comes at you softly and subtly. Single notes on a piano. Offbeat pauses. Instant recognition. And then, one measure blends into the next. A right-hand chord. A stride bass. A surge of an ticipation. And then—an asalanche o f energy. o f all-encompassing music. Wham! The Basie Band is o ff and blowing. It all began years ago. Count Basie and His Orchestra, and his place on top o f the musical world His importance grows larger. His audience greater, with each added season o f performance. In this day o f rock and small groups with electric sounds, the age o f the Basie Band has remained in the fore. In truth, it has never waned.

He leads his band with the piano— he rarely gives any visual signal aside from a nod or a look —and he does it with extra ordinary variety. In slow tunes, he noodles along behind his soloists, making cryptic musical comments and jokes about what they are playing, and he decorates ensemble passages with approving garlands o f notes In fast num bers, he moves down into the lowest registers and issues rocking, invincible chords that have literally made his listeners and his musicians shout." W illiam "C ount Basie" and his Band They burst on the scene 44 years ago. Now, in I9 '9 , it is a more important, more praised, more distinct, more listened to, and more appreciated than ever before Ask Ella or Frank or Tons Ask Anybody Count Basie is loyal to the blues as a Basie form, and he has an astounding ability to produce, year after year, a series o f best selling records In 1954, when the band made its First European tour, and in 195? when the Count completed his 20th year as a band leader he featured many new stars Count Basie has definitely established himself as a modern music immmortal during his 44 years as a bandleader.
