THE COUNT BASIE ORCHESTRA Directed by Scotty Barnhart In the history of jazz there is only one bandleader with distinction of having his orchestra still performing sold out concerts all over the world, with members personally chosen by him, nearly 30 years after his passing. Pianist and bandleader William James “Count” Basie was and still is an American institution that personifies the grandeur and excellence of jazz. Led by trumpeter Scotty Barnhart since 2013, and featuring vocalist Carmen Bradford, a Basie discovery, the Count Basie Orchestra is going swing the Gallo Center like, well, like no other.
