Enjoyed that video of Basie and Peterson.
Wish I could have been there.
Talk about the variety of big bands, I just listed some Spike Jones "stuff". We sure
have some strange taste in music.

I had the good fortune back in the 80s, to attend a live concert of The Count's band, here in UK and I still rate it as one of the best musical experiences of my life.
Lots of Count Basie video clips are available on YouTube......
The Band in full cry here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xyD4CEtpRc&feature=related
For some sheer magic, watch this video clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIs1vcoPQbw&feature=related
Count Basie and Oscar Peterson on a pair of huge Bosendorfer Pianos back to back, accompanied by Martin Drew on Drums and one of the world's finest Double Bass players, Niels-Henning Pedersen.
