It was this unerring timing and incredible drive that made the Count Basie Orchestra the epitome of swinging joie de vivre. In the swing era, Count Basie cultivated a relaxed riff style with his Old Testament band, which also included Lester Young. Later, with his New Testament band, he made brilliant arrangements by Thad Jones, Ernie Wilkins or Neal Hefti vibrate so violently that he was nicknamed "The Atomic Mr. Basie". Even after the master's death in 1984, his brilliant big band remained almost constantly "on the road", always with new leaders - such as the current trumpeter Scotty Barnhart - and with various female singers. But the legacy that Basie instilled in it remained untouched: Swing, swing and more swing, played at the highest level, that is "The legendary Count Basie Orchestra".
