Fischgrund stage. This world-renowned group has been treating audiences worldwide to their special magic for decades. Although William “Count” Basie has passed, his legacy lives on, creating new fans each day. Dr. Frank Foster, Basie tenor sax soloist from 1953-64, is now at the helm of this outstanding group of performers (some of them handpicked by Basie himself). Foster, who follows Eric Dixon and Thad Jones as leader of the Basie Orchestra, believes that a ’’feeling for the blues” in his contribution to the traditional Basie swing sound, bringing a vibrant freshness to a growing body of work. A simple “plink, plink, plink” closing triplet becaume Basie’s signature. Jazz players of today, and the future, will certainly benefit from the gift of music William "Count” Basie left behind. Chris Murrell will be the special guest vocalist with the Basie Orchestra. Larry Hamlin, director of the National Black Theatre Festival says of Murrell "... a young man . . . that should make a profound contribution to the music scene”, and Alvin Stowe of Atlantic Records raves "... a truly talented and gifted voice the world needs to know.” Performance ticket information: adults SB.OO advance, SIO.OO gate; children under six, free, ages 6-16, $2.00.
