This is just amazing! If I'm not mistaken that's Walter Page on bass and Freddie Green on guitar, those two were the masters of their instruments, nobody beats them!
These are great role models for young people of all races in that their accomplishments were among the very best.....not uneducated drug culture gangsters or overpaid athletes...
I saw the Noel Freidline quartet last night in our town, Gastonia, NC. They did this number and some Brubeck as well. Very good quartet. Someone does do this still....amazing!
Mr. SneakMan : don't think it's easy ... played bass for a few years in the jazz band and we had also to play this part... we never found a flute player for this.
@@snorhyveln Sonny was Basie's greatest drummer. Aside from being the ultimate professional, his stick twirling was genius & fearless. If he dropped a stick, he just grabbed another & kept going. Every solo was a lesson!
That drummer;that flautist;that dapper pianist;the composer;the arranger have combined so we cannot identify the genius but thank you to all of the Counts men.
To Anthony Foster: Thank you for your father's artistry. Basie's band was a place for solists, the famous spaces in his solos and even the arrangements with sudden explosions of blues, swing and damned great jazz and... a sense of humor as this song shows. Thanks for posting! What other big band in that era, maybe not but not then, used a flute!
Just great music this remind me of the college student whien i listening radio program called FEN far east net work Tokyo where so many great jazz record gave us every day. It was real fantastic for us. But now days such good broadcast company is not fond . which very sad for me. This was golden year for american jazz music.
No way did Sonny flip his brushes one at a time during the solo (2:18). Man, I love this tune.
I LOVE his single note piano stabs, they are minimalistic, quirky, and hilarious

Wonderful - especially the incomparable Sonny Payne. 🙂

Listen to the brush work by Payne. Great flute work too.

Konti basia orķestris patika grinam man džeza menam grinam manam draugam grinam. Džeza menam
The BEST jazz big band PERIOD!
Spectacular, raw.
holy damn that's swingin.
Back when blacks had rhythm and could read music.
Have to add - first time I saw Sonny in action I was blown away. Nothing like him.
Love this band. Got to be at the Count's 80th birthday. Joe Williams surprised us. What a great legacy.
Alta Classe.
Written and arranged by Neal Hefti.
Eddie Jones on bass?

This is Cute---Without Jerry.
Sonny Payne, my favourite drummer bar none. His work on the live show "Sinatra At The Sands" album is quite perfect.
Two words: Quincy Jones
Nobody swings as great as the great Count Basie
Wonderful! Sonny Payne and Papa Joe were my two favorite Basie drummers. I'm old, saw Basie live along with many of the now jazz legends.
Jealous beyond words
I need teach of jazz flute

Sonny Payne has a good sound. He's one of the most underrated swing drummer.
Willie Harvey I have to ask, is Sonny Payne = Papa Jo Jones?

Watch the 65 live sessions with Basie and Sinatra if you want more Payne lol

Underrated by whom? He was one of the greatest drummers of all time.

A banda de Count Basie, é considerada a de maior balanço do jazz, e Frank Wess, é o maior flautista do jazz!
SONNY PAYNE!!!!!!!!!!
Nice straight ahead swing, no missing, hanging notes, implied rather than played notes, no bop pauses, , i.e. dis ain't bop, pop!
Nice bop lines...
Is that Chubby Jackson sitting next to Sonny Payne?

Got to love that flute.
As the son of Dr. Frank Foster , this is a wonderful memory, especially when they played it as " weather with a beat" in Los Angeles when I was a kid
Dude your dad was the Man

Man your dad was the best tenor sax player and arranger him and Dexter Gordon top notch for sure
