I tend to like Big Band Swing so an account of the Count Basie's life and music really appeals to me.
The recorded voice of Band Leader Pucho Brown who played opposite the Count in the late 50's added credibility and icing to a piece where a full scan of the details of the Count's life were presented succinctly.
The music selection (well mixed in) complements the dialogue. The whole effect of this piece deserves more than five stars so the suggestions for potential improvements in future pieces I will post privately in the notes to producer area.
I would like to hear this great little ditty aired every time a Count Basie tune is played (which is great music that should be played often -- even mixed in on so-called ''classical stations'' to perk up and add spice to our short lives in the flesh on this earth).
Wonderful tribute to the Count! -- who deserves the kind of accolade this production presents on his behalf!
