Excellent recount of wonderful career,of Count Basie.Basie was a eminent band leader,and jazz pianist. Some of his long time sidemen reflect on his life & big band experiences of the era.Listening to this music,will bring back that 4o's & 50's era of Big Band Swing again!
1951 African Queen Is basically a love story.Charlie Allnut the skipper of this run down tug,and missionary Rose Sayer,are brought together by fate.And must get by the German outpost in this old tug boat.In the process,Rose thinks of an idea to blow up the German war ship.Any way the story makes for a rousing conclusion.It was a wonderful pair up Of Humphrey Bogart & Katharine Hepburn in the lead roles.
