Synopsis:
Count Basie (1904–1984) was one of America's pre-eminent jazz pianists, bandleaders, and composers. With the charm, dry humor, and inexorable logic of phrasing that were his alone, Good Morning Blues stands as both testimony and tribute to a remarkably rich life.
About the Author:
William James “Count” Basie (1904-84) was an American jazz pianist, organist, bandleader, and composer.
