The Count Basie Alumni Big Band, inspired by the enduring legacy of the legendary jazz pianist and bandleader William "Count" Basie, pays homage to the swing era and the iconic Count Basie Orchestra. Although there isn't a single, continuous alumni big band affiliated directly with Count Basie, various ensembles have emerged over the years, featuring former members of Basie's orchestra. Count Basie, a trailblazer in the big band and swing jazz movements, established his initial big band in the late 1930s. Renowned for its tight, rhythmic style and influential soloists, the orchestra saw the passage of numerous talented musicians. These alumni bands function as a living tribute to Count Basie.
