Description:
The Count Basie Band closed the Fest on Sunday evening, and it was an extraordinary night no one wanted to end: a reconstituted version of the original Basie band plus a blues blowout from Basie singers Jimmy Rushing and Joe Williams. The old and the new, anchored by the Count, were nothing but sleek, sophisticated and roaring, in rare, hard swinging form. |
