dbpprop:abstract
  • Das Count Basie Orchestra war eine US-amerikanische Big Band, die von Count Basie geleitet wurde. Die Basie-Band war neben dem Duke Ellington Orchestra und den Bands von Woody Herman, Lionel Hampton und Benny Goodman eine der berühmtesten Jazz-Formationen der Swingära. Hervorgegangen aus dem Orchester von Benny Moten, gehörte die Basie Band - zusammen mit den Orchestern von Harlan Leonard, Jay McShann und Andy Kirks Twelve Clouds of Joy - mit zu den bedeutenden Vertretern des Kansas City Jazz, erzielte ihren Durchbruch jedoch 1937 in New York City. Das Orchester überlebte auch das große Big Band-Sterben Ende der 1940er Jahre, arbeitete in den 1960er Jahren mit Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett und Ella Fitzgerald. Als Ghost band wurde es nach Count Basies Tod 1984 weitergeführt, gegenwärtig geleitet von Bill Hughes.

  • Le terme Count Basie Orchestra désigne le big band que dirigeait le pianiste Count Basie. L'orchestre a survécu à la mort de son leader et continue à se produire sous ce nom depuis 1984. Les saxophonistes Eric Dixon, Frank Foster et Grover Mitchell, le trompettiste Thad Jones et aujourd'hui le tromboniste Bill Hughes, tous anciens musiciens de l'orchestre, se sont relayés à la tête de la formation. En 2002, outre le chef, près de 20 ans après le décès du "Count", 6 musiciens ayant joué avec lui étaient toujours membres du Count Basie Orchestra.
  • A Count Basie Orchestra é uma big band de dezesseis a dezoito músicos, um dos grupos de jazz que mais se destacou na swing era. Formada por Count Basie, sobreviveu ao declínio do estilo no final dos anos 40, produzindo notáveis colaborações com cantores como Frank Sinatra e Ella Fitzgerald nos anos 50 e 60. O grupo continuou a gravar e a se apresentar mesmo após a morte de Count Basie, estando atualmente sob a liderança de Bill Hughes.
