In this DVD, a distinguished group of Basie alumni - including early band stars Harry "Sweets" Edison, Earle Warren, and Claude Williams, and later stars Illinois Jacquet, Buddy Tate, and Joe Williams - lend their insights. The film is generously supported by vintage performance films beginning in the 1930s and master recordings of the greatest Basie sessions. Also featured are Al Grey, Jay McShann, and Albert Murray. Included are performances by Count Basie, Lester Young, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Al Grey, Joe Williams, Jimmy Rushing, Judy Garland, and many others.
