Count Basie duet with Cleveland Eaton: Booty's Blues

You can't have enough of Count Basie and that is certainly true when he plays together with the bassist Cleveland Eaton. Enjoy this fantastic duet between them: soft and playful. In the duet it looks like Cleveland Eaton accidentally slips but Basie use that mistake and adds a chord and makes it look like it was supposed to be like that from the beginning. What great musicians!

Then the whole band kicks in and Booty Wood plays a great trombone solo. Have a look at Count Basie and Cleveland Eaton playing Booty's Blues. Recorded at a Carnegie Hall Concert in March 20, 1981.
