Count Basie may or may not have been the best, but he was the best at what he did. He and "His Orchestra" had the best sound. What I liked most about The Count is he always showcased the members of his band. Why did The Big Band/Swing Era have to be replaced with the crap we have today? It needs to be brought back!

Happiness flew from above and landed on Mr. Count Basie. There is a richness to his sound that over-players will never get.
