I became a Basie Freak in college in the 60's. I got to meet him and get autograph in 1966. I asked him what happened to Frank Foster on tenor. He looked shocked that a 22 year old kid would even know who Foster was. He was very polite and enjoyed chatting with a very young fan. I'm still a Basie Freak at 69!
Nice. He lived around the corner from my Grandma in St. Albans NY. Never got to meet him myself because I was a little too young to know who he was and she moved from the house in 1970
More than a "nice Basie performance" - paradise! I began seeing him live at Carnegie Hall in the early '70s live and until he passed...and with he band that outlives him. Magic.
Agreed! I listened to that record for the first time high on acid when it came out. Its still a favorite to this day. Street of dreams was a great cut. Quincy Jones was young and on some arrangements too I believe.
Thank you for posting this, it is a nice track. I have a lot of records and CDs of Basie but it is really good to see him and his band performing. I always think that this was a great big band that kind of radiated out of a jazz trio (piano, base, drums) which was always at its core.
Basie and Ellington lead two of the greatest bands of the swing era . Basie's band had a lighter texture than Duke' s. Duke Ellington's band played more original works. Duke and Basie were superb band leaders.
To answer Buckie: Most all the charts on "Sinatra at the Sands" were in fact done by Q. Two Basie hits predated Quincy Jones' involvement, however, and that great version of "All Of Me" was in fact done by the great Neal Hefti.
All of me Why not take all of me Can't you see I'm no good without you Take my lips I want to lose them Take my arms I'll never use them Your goodbye Left me with eyes that cry How can I Get along without you You took the part That once was my heart So why not, why not Take all of me All of me Come on get all of me Can't you see I'm just a mess without you Take my lips I want to lose them Get a piece of these arms I'll never use them Your goodbye Left me with eyes that cry How can I Ever make it without you You know you got the part That used to be my heart So why not, why not Take all of me
+Zach Bulgarelli The drummer on this piece is Rufus "Speedy" Jones, who played with Basie as well as Duke Ellington during the 1960s. Look on UA-cam for his amazing work on "Whirlybird", from this very same 1965 special.
So smooth, so clean, they make it appear effortless, these guys are peerless.

America was graced with a Duke & a Count.
What amazing control. Perfection.
Amazing ensemble playing !

You want to learn to play swing, LISTEN to Count Basie.

Maravillosa música para terminar el dia
Greatest live album there ever was Sinatra and Basie at the sands. Hands down !! Pity there's no video.
Great album ever. Period.

And both the Count and Duke held each other in high esteem. Mutual fans in fact
how he stands up at the end!!!
One of the two greatest swing bands in jazz.The other is Duke Ellington's orchestra.
Count Basie _ All Of Me ..1965..
NO ONE BETTER THAN the count!!!!!
Great read of Billy Byers chart here!

If your Dad was part of the Basie Orchestra you have every reason to be very proud.
ok
Mine was!🎤
All of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you
Take my lips
I want to lose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbye
Left me with eyes that cry
How can I
Get along without you
You took the part
That once was my heart
So why not, why not
Take all of me
All of me
Come on get all of me
Can't you see
I'm just a mess without you
Take my lips
I want to lose them
Get a piece of these arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbye
Left me with eyes that cry
How can I
Ever make it without you
You know you got the part
That used to be my heart
So why not, why not
Take all of me
いいですね〜〜、これぞベイシー節！
Right tempo ! World Best Big band. ✊👏
Quand on aime la musique on aime Duke Ellington, quand on aime le jazz on aime Count Basie.
Rufus "Speedy" Jones on drums. Billy Byers arrangement.
Groovy hip cat yeah man go cat go
Berlin and Basie: two geniuses talking..
Michael Buble's version of this is sung over this exact big band arrangement of this song. I didn't realise until I heard this original version.
Is this a Quincy J. arrangement? Anyone know who arranged this song (played superbly, as always)
Billy Byers chart BuckieBear
Is that Clifford brown on trumpet up there?
Anyone know who the drummer is here?
