William James “Count” Basie (1904-1984) was a historical jazz icon and the leader of the Count Basie Orchestra. He was a composer, organist, pianist; a significant bandleader, and trailblazer to the big bands' era. 

Over the years he had been to several bands including Bennie Moten Band, Count Basie, and his Cherry Blossoms, Barons of Rhythm (Count Basie and His Barons of Rhythm), the group that produced the infamous “One O’ Clock Jump” and eventually the New Testament Band which performed all across Europe and earned phenomenal reviews in Germany, Netherlands, and France.

He was undeniably a historical significance, able to collaborate with other musical geniuses of his generation, and was widely heralded leader of the big bands' era. 

His influence was never unnoticed, he was awarded a whopping nine Grammy awards over the course of his career, the first-ever African-American on the prestigious list!
