He set the tone for modern jazz accompaniment with his trademark syncopated piano chords. Now you can enjoy the very best of the late, great pianist and bandleader William "Count" Basie in rare, archival performances.
Join him in One O'Clock Jump, Basie's Boogie, Swinging the Blues, and many more, including a rare duet with legendary Billie Holiday on It's Now Baby or Never.
As a special bonus, you'll get three songs from the Great Fats Waller who, in addition to being a great song stylist, actually taught young William Basie how to play jazz on the Hammond organ! No fan of jazz should be without COUNT BASIE SWINGING AT HIS BEST.
