Corner Pocket

A nice swing tune by Count Basie and His Orchestra.

Notes:

• Notice how tight they are, and Sonny Payne (the drums) is more agressive unlike Jo Jones. He does hits similar to Gene Krupa.
• The trumpet solo is taken by Thad Jones
• Then the tenor sax is played by Frank Weiss. Notice the contrast in dynamics unlike Eddie Davis (who'd always play loud and fast) or Lester Young who'd play loose.
• The intensity of Basie is here: he really likes to contrast his dynamics.
