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.)

Today, July 7, 2024 is the thirday Sunday of the WRFG Summer Fund Drive.
And because fund drive shows can be a little crazy, I’m posting an
encore presentation of the final part of a three-part tribute to Louis Jordan
exclusively for our podcast listeners!

Well, it’s MOST of the that show. When I unloaded the original show back in
2023, I offended the MixCloud gods by including too many tracks featuring
Louis Jordan. They have rules about such things, and I did a no-no.
So, instead, I’m sharing a slightly edited version of that show that
I hope will win the approval of our MixCloud lords and masters.

Fingers crossed on this one!
