Customer Reviews

One of the greats
As much as I do not care for jazz, I did give this also as a gift to a jazz fan, and he was very pleased with it. Even I know Count Basie. He with the other greats were pioneers in this uniquely American music that captured the world. If you do not like jazz,but know someone that does, this is the one for them along with the "Legends of Jazz".

Count Basie Swinging at His Best
I have several Count Basie VCR's and DVD's but I do believe that this is the best one in my collection.
