“I just think swing is a matter of some good things put together that you can really pat your foot by. I can’t define it beyond that.”
Happy Birthday to the “Holy Man”, pianist, organist, bandleader, and composer William James COUNT BASIE #countbasie #keithhenrybrown
Count Basie was the original Kansas City royal. Born William Basie in Red Bank, New Jersey, he dubbed himself the Count while playing organ to silent movies at Kansas City's historic Eblon Theater. #countbasie #jazzlegends #DrawKC #KCMO #KCjazz #countbasieorchestra #KC
