William "Count" Basie (1904-1984) started his orchestra in Kansas City in 1935, and proceeded to develop and maintain one of the greatest jazz orchestras in music history. With Mr. Basie s meticulous attention to detail, selecting the very best musicians, and making sure that every tune could be danced to, The Count Basie Orchestra soon became the favorite for everyone to listen and dance to with it's irresistible "Kansas City stomp" style. Today, under the leadership of it's Director, Scotty Barnhart, The Count Basie Orchestra is traveling the world celebrating it's 80th Anniversary and continuing the excellent standards in swinging and shouting the blues with precision, and continuing to be "The Most Explosive Force In Jazz." The Count Basie Orchestra releases it's first Christmas album, A Very Swingin' Basie Christmas!

Additionally, Ellis Marsalis (Piano) and Plas Johnson (saxophone) are guest musicians on "I'll Be Home For Christmas."
