The Legendary Count Basie Orchestra
In the vast and vibrant history of Jazz music, there exists only one bandleader whose legacy continues to resonate through sold-out concerts worldwide, even three decades after his passing. That icon is none other than the legendary pianist and bandleader William James "Count" Basie, an American institution who embodied the very essence of Jazz's grandeur and excellence.
The Legendary Count Basie Orchestra, a living testament to Basie's enduring influence, thrives under the direction of Scotty Barnhart. Its members, personally chosen by Basie himself, continue to uphold the orchestra's unparalleled reputation. The ensemble has garnered acclaim from every corner of the globe, conquering esteemed jazz polls and amassing an impressive collection of 18 GRAMMY® Awards. Their legacy is not merely a continuation of Basie's vision but a testament to the enduring power of Jazz to transcend generations and inspire audiences across the globe.
Scotty Barnhart is an internationally acclaimed Jazz trumpeter, composer, arranger, educator, author, producer, three-time GRAMMY® Winner, and Director of The Count Basie Orchestra. Prior to being selected Director in 2013, he was its featured trumpet soloist for 20 years, and in 2015 was Executive Producer of A Very Swingin’ Basie Christmas!, the very first Christmas recording for The Count Basie Orchestra. Under his leadership, the orchestra won the Downbeat Magazine Readers Poll as the #1 Jazz Orchestra in the world for 2018, and their 2018 recording, All About That Basie, featuring special guest Stevie Wonder, was nominated for a GRAMMY® for Best Large Jazz Ensemble.
