Count Basie was among the most important bandleaders of the swing era. With the exception of a brief period in the early ''50s, he led a big band from 1935 until his death almost 50 years later, and the band continued to perform after he died. Basie''s orchestra was characterized by a light, swinging rhythm section that he led from the piano, lively ensemble work, and generous soloing. Basie was not a composer like Duke Ellington or an important soloist like Benny Goodman. His instrument was his band, which was considered the epitome of swing and became broadly influential on jazz.
