The Legendary Count Basie Orchestra - Directed by Scotty Barnhart

In the history of jazz music, there is only one bandleader that has the distinction of having his orchestra still performing sold out concerts all over the world, and nearly 40 years after his passing, by musicians personally chosen by him. Pianist and bandleader William James “Count” Basie was and still is an American institution that personifies the grandeur and excellence of jazz. The Count Basie Orchestra, today directed by Scotty Barnhart, has won every respected jazz poll in the world at least once, garnered 18 Grammy Awards, performed for kings, queens, and other royalty, and appeared in several movies, television shows, at every major jazz festival and concert hall in the world.
