Overview
Only an orchestra with as rich and storied a history as Count Basie's could be labeled, in its pre and postwar embodiments, the Old and New Testament bands. But that's how long and strong jazz's greatest dance unit played for crowds the world over.The legend began in Kansas City in 1935, when Basie inherited Bennie Moten's gang and began to add swinging talent from the region. He then brought it to New York, expanded it further, and within no time saw it rise to the top of the big-band world. Its rebirth in the Fifties was a miracle, as virtually every other big band had dissolved for good. Its infectious beat was a constant, while a new stable of writers made it even more successful in the LP era than it had been before.
