Creative
Quotations from
Count Basie
(1904-1984) born on Aug 21
US jazz pianist, composer;
one of the outstanding
organizers of big bands in
jazz history; his hits include
"One O’clock Jump," 1937.
All I wanted was to be big,
to be in show business and to
travel… and that’s what I’ve
been doing all my life.
Play like you think,
and then you got it,
if you're going to get it.
It's the way you play that
makes it… And whatever
you get, that's you,
so that's your story.
If you play a tune and a
person don't tap their feet,
don't play the tune.
I'm saying: to be continued,
until we meet again.
Meanwhile, keep on listening
and tapping your feet.
