Piano player and bandleader William “Count” Basie brought America out of the Depression with the elegant and irresistible swing of Kansas City. Establishing 4/4 swing as a primary jazz style, The Count led one of the greatest big bands of all time, featuring the hard-swinging All-American Rhythm Section, iconic soloists, and a communal feeling that kept the dance floor moving all night. In this hour-long narrated concert featuring the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, crowd participation, and engaging storytelling by Wynton Marsalis, families will learn about Basie’s exciting career and infectious music.
JLCO and Wynton are national treasures. I love what you do. I especially appreciate your attention to my favorite big band. The Basie Band always makes one feel better! Thank you for bringing this music to the attention to our young people.
This is like the Young People's Concerts that Lenny Bernstein gave at Lincoln Center when I was a little kid... GLORIOUS!
soapbxprod I am lucky because someone took the trouble of downloading all the concerts and recorded them onto CD's as a birthday gift
SUPER DUPER, Ratnakar! Raise your kids to be lovers of REAL music, our culture needs you. :)
soapbxprod I have a couple of his books too. I am an Indian, different culture but music is universal and I love western classical instrumental
Yes, and many could argue that Wynton Marsalis has taken over Bernstein's place as the great American music educator
"Space & Time" Was What Basie Was About🎹🎵🎶🎼!!!
Beautiful concert . It is as much a great music encounter but as well listen to Wynton Marsalis besides his good music his talent in introducing the singers, artists and their contributions to American Jazz music Hats Off
As a longtime Basie fan, wonderful. Just wonderful. And I learned a few things too!
What a great concert and lesson! One of todays great jazzmen teaching future generations about possibly the greatest jazzman of all time. I saw him in Sheffield in 1974 and have followed jazz ever since.
Love it! Who wouldn't love Basie? Can't think of jazz without out him.
You prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my brother for the last days :)

Jazz this way is Classic and the jazz of today - "modern jazz" isn't the jazz of today
Tu parles trop wynton!
mais... c'est un cours pour les jeunes gens qui ne sont pas familiers à Basie... :)
exactly! How are the kids going to know?

pas du tout d'accord avec vous ! au contraire ! c'est un plaisir de l'ecouter. Un homme tres eduque qui sait parler sa langue. Qui connait sa musique. Je suis fan de jazz depuis 1955. j'avais 16 ans. Calculez mon age actuel. Bravo M. Wynton Marsalis. Vous faites honneur a votre pays.
