^OUNT BASIE AND HIS BAND
BECOME THE TALK ?F THE .
TOWN ?
COUNT BASE
, '
Broadway, the mecca of musicians
and performers alike the
woirld over, recently voiced its
praises of a sepia son of rhythm,
Count Basie, when he opened at
the Famous Dobi'on 52nd Street
and berany fhn firrt cn1.iri.ll full
band to invade its nitery sector out
side of the Cotton Club for many
years.
Realizing an ambition which has
been with hiirrsince his beginning
with Benny Moten several years
ago and later when he himself acquired
the aggregation upon the
uptimely death of the great Moten,
Basie produces the gind of swing
music that's new and .fasdn&tingto
its habitues. Its critics hearing
him there during his initial performance
had this to say:
Malcoln Johnson, New York
Sun: "Fifty second street is swing
once more, with the Famous Door
reborn with air-conditioning and
-the?gnrnd~WUSic of Count Basie
and his orchestra.? For those not
up on such matters, t,his is a rising
Negro band born o\it Kansas City
way, which is unmistakably head
I ed for the top* There are swing
u_ .i? u
uuriuzs, I'UCII Willi tut^r v*
excellence, but for a band that set
ties down solidly for an evening
a rhythmic work and pushes on
with unremitting drive and spirit
there is nothing in * town or out
to match the Count and his thirteen
associates. Already musicians
have made it a nitly port of' call,
with the likehood strong that on
any given nites you will find such
.men as Benny Goodman, Jack
Teagarden, Benny Carter. Roy Eld
redge or Dave Tough as close to
the band stand as union rules will
permit..
Much of this attraction derives
from the fact that the band does
as much uuarranged as arranged
playing and really has the soloists
to make the jamming worthwhile.
With a remarkable rhythm secticm
fine aaxes and topne-teh brass, theband
plays music that both swings
and make sense a rare combinat
ion. Vocals are delivered in the
inni" gtylc by -James Rushing und
Helen Humes, the latter a new
singer who is certain to become
well kriown. With Count Basie,
the Famous Do>or for an unlimited
stay"
Such praises- as those were
I plenty tne aay anter uount open
ed his stay on West 52nd street
and may be the turning point m
the presentation of colored bands
| along the gay white way,
I bringing them once again into tjhe
popular favor they enjoyed down
town-ward during the life of Jim
Europe. t
