COUNT BASIE

Biografie/Biography:
William 'Count' Basie (21. August 1904 - 26. April 1984 in Hollywood) war ein afroamerikanischer Jazz-Pianist, Organist und Bandleader. Der Spitzname 'Count', zu deutsch 'Graf' wurde ihm aus werbestrategischen Gründen (angeblich von seinem Mentor John Hammond) gegeben: In den frühen Jahren des Jazz waren solche 'aristokratischen'Übernamen sehr beliebt (Joe 'King' Oliver, Edward 'Duke' Ellington oder Bessie Smith, die 'Kaiserin des Blues'). Basie lehnte den 'Adelstitel' ab und zog es vor, von Freunden und den Musikern seiner Band als 'Bill' oder 'Base' angeredet zu werden.

Commonly regarded as one of the most important jazz bandleaders of his time, Basie led his popular groups for almost fifty years. Many notable musicians came to prominence under his direction, including saxophonist Lester Young and singers Jimmy Rushing and Joe Williams. Basie's theme songs were 'One O'Clock Jump' and 'April In Paris,' and 'Every Day I Have The Blues' (1955), sung by the deep-voiced Williams, was also a major hit.
