We have two featured artists today: Guitarist, singer, songwriter, and record producer
B.B. King was born Riley B. King in Itta Bena, Mississippi, on September 16, 1925.
King introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending, shimmering vibrato, and staccato picking that influenced many later blues electric
guitar players. AllMusic recognized King as “the single most important electric guitarist
of the last half of the 20th century”.

Count Basie is our featured artist this week. Born William James Basie in Red Bank,
New Jersey, on August 21, 1904, Basie was a jazz pianist, organist, bandleader and composer. In 1935, he formed the Count Basie Orchestra and made his first recording
in Chicago the following year. Basie led the group for almost 50 years.

(NOTE: This is the 120th anniversary of Basie’s birth, not 110 as the pin monkey
who does this show said on the air and on the podcast. Management promises he
will get a good talking to and lose his allowance for a week.)
