Count Basie - Then As Now, Count's The King



Good video.
If you are a fan of the Basie Band this is a "must see". Great old film and video of some of the classic songs they did. Particularly enjoyed "Corner Pocket" and Jerry Lewis acting out "Cute" and "Blues In Hoss Flat." Also enjoyed the stories from members of the band. I couldn't figure out who the "white guy" was sitting with the band members. He didn't say much. Turns out he's Ira Gitler, the jazz historian and journalist.
