Reports Basie
Hot Stuff
By A New York Correspondent
NEW YORK, Feb. 5- .Special to The
Daily-Rumor has reached this city
that widespread campus disapproval
followed the announcement by th
University of Michigan J-Hop commit-
tee that Count Base would be one of
the orchestras at that affair.
This display of ickish ignorance has
caused no end of surprise in swing
circles. Undisputable authorities on the
fine art of swing in this city hold the
Count as one of the more promising of
any number of promising swing organi-
zations.
Martin Block, noted radio swing com-
mentator, and conductor of the famous
"Make Believe Ballroom" program re-
cently gave Basie a year in which to be-
come the No. 1 colored orchestra in the
country, replacing such veterans as
"Satchel-mouth" Armstrong, Jimmy
Lunceford and Fats Waller.
The Count, who is currently playing
at the Famous Door, new Gotham hot
spot, has drawn customers from the top-
hat strata to high school rug-cutters.
The short, fat, and moustached Count
is still wowing New York with his unique
set-up. He himself plays a small up-
right placed in front of the -band. An-
other pianist does the main playing,
while Basie leads at the start-off, and
starts his ivory-tickling on the refrgin.
Basie, who has built his widespread
reputation in less than a year, mde his
New York debut at the Loew State The-
atre. He was put on as the fifth act, a
spot usually filled by a corny set-up.
After three numbers the Count had the
audience "Benny Goodman-ing" in the
aisles.
The piano-pounder also sings with
his band, and his voice, while almost in-
distinguishable in tone from Fats Waller
and Louis Armstrong, has a style all its
own.
Basie is considered by such noted local
connoisseurs as Curly Lampor of Coney
Island, and Jerry of Harlem as the top
colored swingster in New York. And
since colored bands are recognized as
hotter than the best white bands, this
estimation means something.
The Count's organization is sometimes
known as the fat men's band, since

three-fourths of them, veterans all, are
short and weigh more than 200 pounds.
However, we need quote no other
proof of Basie's ability. He will un-
doubtedly speak for himself at the Hop.
