Finally I'd like to mention the heartbeat of this collective cuthusiasm the rhythm section. Count Basic may not be your favorite orchestra, but you'll have to go far to find a rhythm section as completely sensitive to the ensemble attack and phrasing, as the Count's. Remember that with four men Jo Jones on drums, Freddic Green on guitar, Walter Page on bass, and Basie himself on piano--the experiment of using the section as a solo unit was first carried out. Listen to the release choruses on records like Doggin' Around and Jumpin' at the Woodside...
