The Count Basie Orchestra plays this Neil Hefti arrangement and I the video I took this from had Thad Jones taking the solo.
I'm from Liverpool ; and this music saved me from the Beatles!

I was just listening to another big band from 1964 (no names, but not Woody). Great players, but the ensemble passages are all ragged. Then I listen to Basie and I think, yeah. Different style, but this band sounds rehearsed. Not boring. Rehearsed. Sax soli and you hear a chord.

Hard to see the video but recognize Jaws and Marshall and looks like Bill Hughes. I love and always dug hard Basie and his wonderful band. A powerful machine and if you stood in front of he band, the music pierced you through and through your body and soul. I am privileged to have heard and known the band for many years before Count Basie died.

Yes, arranged by Wild Bill Davis, not Neil Hefti.

Wow. Granted this epicness is from the mid-20th century, but thank goodness for audio quality advancements. I'm in a High School Jazz band and we sound better than the recording here. xD
