"I Can't Stop Loving You" - Count Basie Orchestra 

Classy jazz band full of swing. Exceptional talent with high octane brass musicians

What can one say, except that the Basie band, in live jazz, had an exeptional superior quality of gorgeous performance above all others...

Basie was one of a kind. Love this!

Love this rendition because it is so jivey to dance to. 🎶

One of my old time faves ! You rock the spot Basie !

The double bass rocks the whole tune , brilliant

Goes well with coffee. Saw Basie in 1979 in Montreux Switzerland with Ella. Unbelievable concert. No band could swing like Basie.

So good it brings tears to my eyes...

black and white is the best! it just remonds me what the real jazz is!

I played this song with my high school jazz band back in the 70's. Similar or same arrangement, but we played at a slower, and IMO, more soulful, tempo. Basie band is totally amazing, obv. Thanks for this.

Basie is the man

Hot damn that swings!

Basie's the best!

Count basie is just in a different league to everyone else, the man like miles davis was way ahead of his time..

If this doesn't get your foot tapping, nothing will.

Sublime

From the CD "Before Frank", a collection of Basie instrumentals recorded during the making of "Sinatra at the Sands".

Yeah, thats what I'm talking' about

Thanks, baby. I just got done listening to the Kay Starr And Count Basie version. I wish the Count had put her vocals over the top of this version instead, because this is even better in my opinion. Not that the slower version is bad mind you, because I just posted it in my G+ Community; "CHANTERS USA".

The Count Basie's driving version of I can't stop loving you

is that a bone with a mute!? i love it'

arranged and conducted by Q;-)

That's a plunger mute, Ian. Literally a toilet plunger (hopefully never used) held over the bell of the instrument.

Yep. That's a bone with a mute.

Does anyone know the effect the trombone soloist uses at around 1:50? It sounds like a shake but in lower register, which I didn't know was possible. I always hear trumpets and trombones from this era playing with that sound but have no clue as to what it is or how to learn it.
