What rhythm! What syncopation! What timing! What brass! What swing!!! The greatest big band in the world playing another one of their greatest and awesome tunes! One clean cut, sharp dressed group of extremely talented musicians led by the magnificent Count Basie. These guys together as a band brought one of the absolute best representations of African American impact on music, named it jazz, and gave it to the world. Changed the world's music tastes for the better from America to Europe to Asia and back! What a sensational phenomenon they were! Although only in my late teens and very early twenties at the time, I was still able to catch this original band live in New York on several occasions and experience what my parents had on dating weekends in NYC clubs, then in our home afterward while I was growing up. Every piece that the Basie band published was magnificent! While most of these talented musicians have gone on, the music they created together will live on forever! What a blessing!
This was the best band in the world PERIOD! I had the pleasure of playing and knowing. Snooky Young, Frank Foster, Al Grey and Marshall Royal. Wow!!!!
The best band ever with Duke's one
@@SELMER1947 Duke, beautiful harmonies and melodies. Basie = swing just so damn hard! :-)
Hoss was how it ended up, but Foss was how it was supposed to be. This is the first time I've seen it as Foss, the way it was. { Franks Oldest son here}
He give you any wicked advice??
Thank you for this clip of Dad { Frank Foster} and the tune as it was meant... not how it ended up
Anthony can you explain what you mean? Your dad is a hero of mine btw...
Anthony..your father was musical genius
I saw your dad come and play with our jazz band in college. When he came out and soloed the whole band changed. He and the other originals had something.
Folks....THIS is ONE NASTY GROOVE here....genius at work.....
This is ridiculously tight. We need more real music on this planet, stat.
Jeez what is the most striking thing you see visually about this band you don't see in most bands today?
Musicians.
no charts.
ugh I wish there were people nowadays who could at least hold a candle to this band. I just wanna hear a live performance of this song that's as good as this one
Nobody swings like Basie ! What a Groove. Bless you Count. Thanks for the Upload.

i’ve never heard a trombone player solo like that omfg
Just listen, real music, real talent.
Joe Newman just casually playing with his legs crossed around 2:03
First heard this played by the 1 O Clock Band at North Texas State U. in 1964. Never forgot the experience.
That was awesome, absolutely awesome.
Maravillosa orquesta, no habrá otra igual, qué sincronización, qué armonía, qué profesionalidad.
The count is the KING!
Basie Orchestra at it's peak!
BRILLIANT,LIKE BRASSSTARS ON THE BLACK AND WHITE SUNS DRUMMING AROUND
thank for letting me see a video of this great cowboy jazz!
Awesome band!
How is this different than Blues In Hoss's Flat, same song but somewhere along the line the title changed. One of the great Basie charts.
Blues in hoss has such a good ring to it
There are a hundred details that differ from the album version, which sounds like they had an opportunity to refine it, in phrasing, tempo, riffage. There's no substitute for practice in this idiom.
I’m playing lead trombone for a Count Basie workshop in like a week
HarkinsYT HarkinsYT good for you lord farquaad
What an absolute CHOON
Great !
I have had this on record for many years but its title is "Blues in Hoss's Flat" Why the change in title?
I must also mention the terrific mime by Jerry Lewis (see it on you tube) to this tune. Unforgettable!!
many thanks for this great post
Awesome, always wanted to see them perform this. Never knew the Foss angle but now it makes sense.
the kids are playing it the real way, that foster is excellent!
Go high school!
This must have been one of my father's favorites--I knew everyone's part and I have not heard this for a good 50 years!
Al "Jazzbeau" Collins used Blues In Hoss's Flat as his theme song at least from the mid seventies on. KGO-AM, KCSM-FM and some other stations too.
The original! How cool is that!
what a great number by a great bandoh how he,s missed
AMAZING!!!!!
Best!
8 dislikes have never known music
What idiots would give this a thumbs down??? They obviously have no taste or appreciation for talent or beauty. Let them go back to Lawrence Welk or country western . They obviously don’t know what they’re missing
They probably just did it by accident... there is literally no reason to dislike it lol
This is the chart Jerry Lewis mock-conducted in the movie.
I actually like that version better; the video is a plus: watch?v=kS21T_p0pNA
I know ti as "Blues is Hosses' flat"!
I like how 2nd chair trombone gets into it 3:54 to 4:11. Nice.
That's Al Grey
A rearranged Hoss, huh? Ok...Excellent.
There is no escape. You are going to wake up and get more of the same.
Aka "Blues In Hoss Flat"
They call this blues but I sure don't feel blue.
Leo, learn what the Blues is about...
You ain't suppose to feel blue!
Great tune; horn players not listed in order of chairs they sat on....
Who is the trombone soloist?
Henry Coker.
Blues in Hoss's Flat?
Alan Glasscock
Thanks for info... never knew that.
Alan Glasscock
Actually I believe "Foss" was his nickname. So the original title was "Blues in Foss' Flat". He changed the title to "Hoss" in honor of Hoss Allen, a country music DJ in Nashville, I think. It's mentioned in the liner notes of the Chairman of the Board album.
Aaaaaaahhhhhh

Jerry Lewis made this song legendary
Pure and unadulterated swing! Jerry Lewis being the asshole he was, at least, had the smarts to do a lot of Basie material in his movies!
Family guy brought me here
Al Grey did not take the solo
I saw Jerry Lewis lead the Basie band in '59, downstairs, at ...I think it was Basin St East. They were HOT!!!
That´s right. Al played lead, Henry Coker played the solo.
