Lets think Count Basie, who we dont tend to hear enough of as a soloist

This one features Nat Pierce, with Woody Herman. Nat, (a drinking buddy of mine one long memorable afternoon in London, as I hazily recall, hhhhicup...he introduced me, ...no, (your minds are running amoke!) not to a blonde or brunette, but to Tiger Beer!!). Nat played maybe some a la Basie, chucked in some stride along the way, and could swing with the best of them.
