"And that's that" Count Basie Orchestra 1985 

Thank you for posting this video. I first saw it at Johnny Coles' apartment in Philly in 1995. He was my music teacher and friend. I spent the last two years of his life with him almost everyday. I was there when he died and attended the funeral. I cooked his food when he was sick and waited on him when all his great friends came to see him for the very last time. I saw Frank West, Jimmy Heath, James Moody and several others. Johnny had a collection of music and videos that were absolutely amazing. He told me the story of how his Mother brought his first trumpet in 1937 and how long she worked to save the money. When he received the trumpet, he put it down and went to play with his friends. This happen three times until his Mother called him in and beat his ass for not being serious. He hold me from that day on, he played his trumpet every single day of his entire life and slept with it. May God bless one of the greatest jazz musicians that ever lived and may he rest in peace - forever.

この美しいソロを聴いてると涙が出てくる。

I got to play this song in college with Dennis Mackrel in my big band. The man is a *phenomenal* drummer, and made our band sound 50x larger than it usually did. Such a beautiful piece.

この素晴らしいカウントベイシーバンド。とりわけソロのジョニー・コールズのフリューゲルホーンは、何度聴いてもハラハラするくらいスリリングで、最後まで聞き通してしまう。

Miss my dear old friend Johnny Cole's a great teacher and a great friend also gave me the opportunity too work with the Basie Band under the leadership of Thad Jones want a honor

この曲、おじいちゃんが昔話をしてくれているようなあったかさがあって大好きです。

I had the honour and pleasure to see Johnny Coles in Sydney, c. 1985, in an international UNO orchestra, with great support from such as Gene Harris, Ray Brown, Herb Ellis, so many other fine players, and our local rising star James Morrison (and I played some dates with him when he was young) in a wonderful concert. Over a huge time frame, the Basie band never failed to succeed, at a high level of enjoyment, musicianship, talented class. People talk of the obvious qualities, in trumpets, reeds, so good, but the trombone section always seemed to have friendly, excellent, artistic, quality. It remains, today, a lesson, kept running by the amazing Thad Jones here in 1985, after the sad passing of the big core, Bill, the BASIE.

わずか20歳前後のデニスがこのような素晴らしい曲を書いたことに驚きます。

Shout chorus gives me goosebumps!

Great tune beautiful flugelhorn solo The COUNT would have been proud of that one

The greatest band. There was a tie with the Duke Ellington Orchestra. This band had a lighter texture than Duke's. It also swung more.

GREAT!!!

This type of music illuminates my heart....so beautiful.

Bel composition et arrangement du jeune batteur et Thad Jones dirige comme il faut ce beau Big Band avec une belle brochette de musiciens et d'anciens de Count Basie dont l'inimitable guitariste Freddy Green ! Good job comme on dit là bas, merci à tous !

Ayer...hoy...y para siempre... Grandioso COUNT...!!!

Freddie Green on guitar stayed in the band after Basie's death. He was one of the last links to the great Basie band members from previous decades.

BETTER than good. EXCELLENT. We ALL want to play in this band.

great song

beautiful music

That flugel solo is next level

The modern big band era ....late '40's to the late '70s....the principle artists....DIZZY, STAN. KENTON, MAYNARD 50'S AND 60'S, DUKE ELLINGTON, COUNT BASIE NEIL HEFTI AMD SAMMIE NESTICO, THAD JONES AND MEL LEWIS, and TOSHIKO TABACKIN....the great big band artists.

If there ever was a definition of being "in the pocket" this is it!

That makes worth living.

Johnny was brilliant! What a great sound. Sadly, he would be gone from us about a year later.

Maravilha.

CB, great swing!

This song will express it's strongth when used in beer Commercial in TV.

Fabulous.

Dennis Mackrel was only 23 in this video. What a genius.

Thad is lovin' life! 1:02

Those horns @ 1:10 are like a runaway truck blasting through your front door.

本当に、イカシテル！

I love watching Thad swinging to this tune. He has been one of my favorites for many years. Check out his "Potpourri" album. Whenever I hear this I remember that American's great musical heritage owes a lot to Black and Jewish composers and musicians. The list of greats is too long to enumerate here but I guarantee: there are many. I know that Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Johnny Mandel, Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini would agree.

Good...Good...Good...Jose...Anjos....

♥️❗

Horn "Flugled!!"

💚🌷😃

😀💛💚🥀

Drummer wrote this tune? Last drummer hired by the Count himself.

2:50 D

ベイシーの中でも大好きな曲のひとつ。自分達で演奏したときは上手くいかなくて、楽しくなかった笑 聴き応えのある演奏にするのは難しい曲だなって思った。

No one is a bigger Jazz fan than me, but there is one thing that bugs me about some of the cats that play it. Listen to the tempo and feel of this piece, then listen to the flugelhorn solo. Man, RELAX. Sounds like he's playing "BeBop" with Diz rather than a cool relaxed swinger with Basie. I just don't dig that stuff. Just my opinion after listening to and playing Jazz for over 50 years now, not here to start an argument. Cool, daddy o.

録画したビデオだなぁ。🙄😃🙄

грубовато

That horn doesn't swing. Sorry.
