Every now and then people come up to me and ask:
"Hey, what's the name of this song, I've heard it a million times, but I can't remember the name."
I think there are some songs that you should make an effort to learn their names just because they are classic swing songs.
One of those classic swing songs is Corner Pocket. Here is a video clip with the Count Basie Orchestra performing Corner Pocket.
They have a great full big band sound. Great solos! I really like Sonny Payne on drums.
If you want a Count Basie cd that has Corner Pocket I recommend "April in Paris", a reissue that actually has two versions of the song.
A classic album that also have great versions of "Magic". Good stuff! If you are collecting Count Basie you should get this cd.
What do you think of Corner Pocket by Count Basie? Tell me.
