COUNT BASIE
Signed b/w picture postcard of a smiling Count Basie from the shoulders up in a coat, white shirt and tie
Picture postcard signed "Count/Basie" in blue ink. B/w, 3½x5½ overall, 3x5 image, one surface. Captioned: "Count Basie". Blank on message side. Basie (1904-1984, born William Basie in Red Bank, New Jersey) was one of the best-loved of all bandleaders. His unique piano style led him to be called one of the leaders of swing music, and he is credited with introducing blues to mainstream audiences through his polished versions of blues rhythms. The great interpreter of swing formed his own band in 1935, which placed over 30 recordings in the Top 40 from 1937 to 1968 and showcased such legendary performers as Billie Holiday and saxophonist Lester Young. He also wrote One O'Clock Jump, now a jazz standard. Basie appeared in films from 1938 to 1964. His last was a memorable scene with his orchestra in Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles (1974). The Count Basie Orchestra still tours today, playing the famous arrangements that Basie pioneered. Lightly toned, creased and bowed. Pen skipped while signing signature, but it is legible. Light impressions and scratches on image (not visible head-on). Otherwise in fine condition.
