As a teenager in the late 60’s I was on a flight from NYC to Rochester, NY. Count Basie and his band were the only other passengers. I grew up listening to his music and loved it. I introduced myself to him and told him what a big fan I was. He was so gracious and kind…..I can still see his big smile and I got lots of autographs that day! I was so thrilled!

...and notice how his rhythm section (piano, bass, guitar, drums) are located close to each other on the bandstand. Makes for better communication and cohesiveness.....

The best concert I ever saw was the Count Basie Band playing in the hot sun on the sidewalk right on 6th during a jazz festival in NYC for 2 1/2 hrs. You could tell that they were they were getting off on the rhythms of the city in their home base. in 1975. Ill never forget it.

I had the pleasure of hanging out with Rufus in Lake Tahoe around 1967. My room was right next to his. I heard double bass drum pounding on my wall. Knocked on the door and who pops out but Rufus. I almost fell off my shoes. We went to Reno together on our nights off to hear this young drummer that Rufus thought played better than him.

This music has life: bounce, punch, dynamics, harmonies, melody. Perhaps the last we may hear of such: the musicians are gone. The musicians of today may be good, but they lack the soul this music requires. Miller, James, Ellington, Basie, etc... all gone. The world is a lesser place without them.
