Basie was born in the town of Red Bank, New Jersey. He re- ceived his first piano lessons from his mother and was pounding the piano at the age of five. While still in his teens, Basie came to the midwest to seek his fame and fortune as a musician, He landed his first professional job in 1929 as pianist and arranger with Walter Page's Blue Devils. Went on Tour He went on tour with Benny Moten's band in Kansas City, tak- ing the band over when Moten died in 1936. Walter Page, who gave Basie his first job, now plays when his fingers struck a piano string bass in the Count's band. Known now as the famous "Jump King of Swing," Basie has quite a rhythm section. With Gus Johnson at the drums, Freddie Greene on the guitar and the Count at the piano, the Basie rhy- thm section has been described by music critics as "the finest in the history of music." Basie gained his title of "Count" while in Chicago. Without fare for a trip back home to Red Bank he filled in at a nickel movie house as a piano player. The manner in which Basie conducted himself when his fingers struck a piano keyboard earnea him his title of "Count" from the house manager. He has kept this title ever since. Basie is currently occypying his spare time in writing a history of jazz, boogie woogie and blues. Long regarded as one of the foremost exponents and stylists of these types of music, he can write from experience, dating back to the days when he played piano in company with some of America's musical immortals. He is also seriously considering the idea of presenting a musical review based on the subject of these writings. Two film studios already have expressed interestin the screen rights to the Basie script. Basie has played at leading dance spots around the country leaving a trail of broken attendance and box office records. He is now ranked among the nation's top ten bands and when he plays at Home- coming Dance Saturday, Oct. 27, students are in for an evening of musical entertainment. f rC Those wonderful lamb's wool or cashmere sweaters with skirts to match or contrast.
