- Summary
- "With all the charm and dry humor of a friend sitting at the kitchen table, Count Basie - pianist, composer, and icon of big-band jazz, known for such classics as "Jumping at the Woodside," "Cherokee," and "Good Morning Blues"- recounts his life story to Albert Murray. Spiced with rollicking anecdotes of Basie's encounters with Fats Waller, Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire, Sammy Davis, Jr., Quincy Jones, Billie Holiday, and Tony Bennett, Good Morning Blues is both testimony and tribute to a remarkable, rich life."--BOOK JACKET.
