Giant Steps #036: Count Basie

Update: 2016-01-24

Description

Count Basie (1904 – 1984) è forse il più celebre bandleader swing dopo Duke Ellington. La sua lunghissima carriera inizia negli anni d’oro di Kansas City durante il proibizionismo, e continua a New York, capitale indiscussa del jazz, per merito dell’impresario della Columbia John Hammond: la ripercorriamo in questa puntata, tra orchestre, piccoli combo, cantanti, innovativi colletti per camicia e arrangiamenti immaginari.

I think the band can really swing when it swings easy, when it can just play along like you are cutting butter
