I got to meet The Count after a show in San Francisco in 1981. It was the thrill of a lifetime for a 23-year-old fan.

@Trombonology

Composer, arranger, trombonist and one of a handful of electric guitar pioneers, Eddie Durham, author of this moodily swinging gem, is one of the Big Band Era's underappreciated greats. Soloists include, in order of appearance, Buck Clayton; Jack Washington; Count Basie; Herschel Evans. The Basie "All-American Rhythm Section," as they were known, comprising the leader; Freddie Green; Jo Jones and Walter Page shines, as always.

Jack Washington transforms this into modern jazz, the stuff he hears in his head when he's trying to sleep.

@swingman5635

Underappreciated, you say? Not by me,friend. This composition and arrangement, could have appeared on the 1942 scene, and, I believe, would have been considered relevant. It's that progressive. Just fabulous.

@Trombonology

@@swingman5635 Well said! This side absolutely fits in with later recordings of the Swing Era. ... Pop music has devolved since then, unfortunately.
