Now, if only I could hear the whole thing uninterrupted, because Verizon
has reducted my download speed for 300kb+ to 40kb /second. Nonetheless ...
I think Sonny was the ideal drummer for Basie in the time frame he played
with the band. He wasn't the greatest time-keeper - and that band was
very accustomed to having a great time keeper - but Payne swung like mad
and he pushed the band hard. I love his playing.
Thanks for posting this clip.
