Count Basie was one of Americaâs pre-eminent and influential jazz pianists, bandleaders, and composers, known for such classics as âJumpinâ at the Woodside,â âGoinâ to Chicago Blues,â âSent for You Yesterday and Here You Come Today,â and âOne OâClock Jump.â In Good Morning Blues, Basie recounts his life story to Albert Murray, from his childhood years playing ragtime with his own pickup band at dances and pig roasts, to his years in New York City in search of opportunity, to rollicking anecdotes of Basieâs encounters with Fats Waller, Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire, Sammy Davis Jr., Quincy Jones, Billie Holliday, and Tony Bennett. In this classic of jazz autobiography that was ten years in the making, Albert Murray brings the voice of Count Basie to the printed page in what is both testimony and tribute to an incredibly rich life.
