Program notes
For this 1961 performance in Belgium, Count Basie fronts his famous big band in a manner befitting his unofficial title. Indeed, by this stage in his career he was held in high reverence globally, and audiences in Europe would have seen him as a star. The orchestra played as part of the Jazz Pour Tous (jazz for all) emissions, which ran from 59’ to 69’, showcasing the best in international jazz talent at a time where the territory was shifting at breakneck pace.
