Comments and Reviews


DeweyGill SUBS ● 6th Jul 2024		Might more be my unclear or inaccurate wording. I just meant he wasn’t playing on the session, Durham did the arranging. Moten may well have directed. I did credit Basie on piano. Moten had pretty much turned over the piano bench to the Count by the end of 1929



Mike Gann 6th Jul 2024		I guess it would depend on the source. DAHR lists Bennie Moten as a director, while Count Basie handled the piano chores.



DeweyGill SUBS ● 6th Jul 2024		This was Moten’s last session, though neither Moten were present. The band was broke. Eddie Durham arranged this session that included Hot Lips Page tp; Eddie Barefield cl,as; Ben Webster ts. The nucleus of the Basie band is here, Joe Keyes-tp; Dan Minor-tb; Jack Washington- as,bar; Walter Page- bass; Basie-p; and Jimmy Rushing- v would all be present when Count Basie cut his first discs in 1937 with the full band.
