Count Basie Orchestra
So, I won tickets off of 91.1 FM, the Bay Area's best jazz station, to see the Count Basie Orchestra in Walnut Creek. We had VIP seats, which included getting a free CD... Jamie Davis "It's a Good Thing".
The band was off the charts. None of the songs they played were slow, they just kept tearing through fast bebop style big band. The last number must have clocked in around 300 BPM.
The drummer was smooth, chewing gum, making all the great licks he played seem like a piece of cake.
Anyhow, I highly recommend checking them out if they are in your area.

I also recorded three tracks with Trip Device last night. Should sound really good, stay tuned.
