About This Item

Basie was one of the best known jazz pianist band leaders in history, having begun his career by accompanying silent films and moving on to create his own innovative jazz orchestra, which pioneered techniques like riffing with a large band, emphasizing the rhythm section, and utilizing arrangers to broaden their sound (including a young Quincy Jones).
8.75 x 6.5 inches. Near Fine.
